Monday – March 20 – Well, we were on the road just after 9:30 and the trailer came out like a breeze, no problem at all. All of John’s worrying was for naught, thank goodness. We headed into California and it was a nice drive up north to I-10 past Salton Sea, what a large lake in the middle of the desert. Apparently it was formed about 100 years ago by an earthquake and is drying up at about 3 to 4 feet a year. After Yuma we went about 30 miles through sand dunes, lots of people boon docking and we saw a few ATV’s running the dunes but apparently on weekends there are 100’s of them out there. It was a very desolate run through that area. Once we were through there we again ran into lots of farmland, miles and miles of crops.

We got to Desert Hot Springs and checked out a couple of RV parks, one was way too expensive and the one that was reasonable was a dump. It looked like it was raining further west and we decided we weren’t really that impressed with California so we and the weather wasn’t that great, or forecasted to be, so we decided to head back to Arizona. We ended up at a park between Parker and Lake Havasu and really surprised Janet and Dave when we pulled into a spot across the road from them. We took our food over to their place and cooked grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and had a good visit with them.

The park is right on the Colarado River and surrounded by mountains, absolutely gorgeous, so we hope to get some good pictures in the next few days and get some posted in the blog, it has been a long time since we have posted any. We have a tree right outside our door with lots of hummingbirds visiting it. There are also a lot of bees in the tree but they don’t seem to want to sting so that is good.

At this park the only way to get the internet is to go to the club house so I will just have to plan on spending a bit of time there each day getting caught up on e-mail etc. Also, we have no phone service here because of the mountains, will have to get out of the park and on higher ground to use the phone.
