APR 17, Sunday, Last day in Parker
Another sunny and hot day; the forecast is for 104*F and it did reach it! I went to the office this morning and got on the internet and uploaded my blog and some pictures. Got the Kirkby’s on Skype and wrote to them to catch on the news...it is snowing at their house!!!
We went to town to explore the place. Not much to see; lots of restaurants and bars though! We found the last of our caches, some in California across the river. I called the Marche’s and talked to Terry. They are presently in Vegas for a week so we may see them, will see!
We went to the ROAD-RUNNER BAR & RESTAURANT just past our campsite and had lunch. What a place! What a show! Most were young people wearing flimsy bikinis and some shouldn’t have been in them!!! We came home and relaxed for the rest of the day.
APR 18, Monday, to Las Vegas Nevada
After dumping our tanks, we got on Hwy 95 North 9 am. It is already quite warm! We drove north to I-40 and turned north east to Hwy 93 where we turned north again. We stopped for brunch in Kingman then continued on. The reason we came this way was to experience crossing the new bridge at HOOVER DAM. They re-routed the highway near the dam to accommodate the new bridge, a four lane crossing, however, due to high cement barriers, there was no view to be had and we crossed without any fanfare into Nevada! We stopped in Boulder to get some info on Lake Mead and the Valley of Fire which we plan on visiting.
We had decided at Kingman to stop in Vegas and visit with Terry and Glenda whom are camping here for the week. We are presently at ROAD RUNNER RV Park. We paid $16 per night for three nights. Pretty cheap! It is a balmy 88* F here and yes, the A/C is on
After setting up at site 21, we went to visit them at their site. We had Happy Hour together and Glenda insisted on cooking dinner for us so we had that together. Tucker was happy to see Glenda again and the feeling was mutual too. Afterwards, we chatted and watched Dancing with the Stars then came home and went to bed.

April 11 to 16, 2011; Ehrenberg to Parker, Arizona
APR 11, Monday, Ehrenberg
A warm and sunny day! Val went for exercises at the club house and afterwards we went to Quartzsite, 20 miles from here, to get a couple parts for the “Bear”. While there, I fuelled @ 4.09/gal then we came back this way but not before picking up a couple of caches off I-10 in the hills. One of them, we took the wrong road and ended doing “real” 4X4 before ending back on the right road. Talk about cross-country! Anyway, we found them then came back to town and had lunch at a new pub in Ehrenberg. We then went to find 4 more hides around here and called it quit just in time for Happy Hour then dinner. I uploaded some pictures...nothing exciting, in Folder “California to Nevada”
APR 12, Tuesday, to Blythe, CA
Exercises for Val; blog, made up an expense spread sheet for the BEAST and BEAR and shower for me then made the bed and took Tucker out for his morning constitution. Sunny and warm once again! We went to find another cache on this side of the river then it was off to Blythe, California, approx 3 miles from here across the river. We went to Wal-Mart where I bought a couple of shorts and Val got some cosmetic stuff. Then it was off to find more caches. We got lost at one point, actually it was more disoriented but did find the cache we were looking for and all the other ones; 15 in all total between today and yesterday. Once home, we went to the pool to refresh ourselves as it was 90*F today and no wind. Even Tucker is having a hard time with this heat. We have the A/C on right now and just finished talking to Louise and Dave on Skype. APR 13, Wednesday, Ehrenberg Sunny, warm and very windy! We went back to Blythe in the afternoon to return and exchange the shorts I bought yesterday. We stopped at Albertson and got some groceries then came home and put everything away. We then sat outside and read and relaxed. We had dinner then watched Survivors. A very quiet day!
APR 14, Thursday, Last day in Ehrenberg
Sunny, warm and windy again; probably a good thing as it kept the heat bearable. Val did some laundry and I washed the BEAST and the front of the BEAR. As I was loading the kayaks, a motorhome parked beside us and hold & behold if it wasn’t an acquaintance, Bill, whom we met about 3 years ago right here in this park. His wife, Vicky, wasn’t with him but was in Denver running a business on a temporary basis. Bill is on his way there after doing some business in California. After we re-acquainted, I finished loading then for dinner, the three of us went to the local pub where we had gone 3 years ago. We caught up to each other’s news and had a good time. Too bad we are leaving tomorrow but such is timing that he would show up here; we had been thinking of them a few days ago so it was good to see him at least one day!
APR 15, Friday, To Parker, AZ
Sunny and warm! We had a lazy morning and loaded everything else that wasn’t packed. After breakfast, we said our good-byes to Bill and got on State Hwy 1, AZ. We drove about 50 miles, turned on Hwy 95 North and arrived in Parker about 3 miles later. We stopped for brunch at a roadside restaurant where we had an excellent breakfast then drove on another eight miles and turned on Riverside to our campground, LA PAZ COUNTY RV PARK at 12:15 pm. The drive was very pretty with fields after fields of wheat, vegetables and straw with mountains in the distance. Past Parker, the scenery became more hilly and rocky. We are parked on the Colorado River with California across and dozens of RV Parks. It is very hot....95*F (33*C). After setting up, we drove back to Parker to Walmart for some shopping then a stop at Beal but Val couldn’t find anything that suited her. On the way back we stopped at a bar besides the road and had a beer then another one where we had happys and it became our dinner. Home to relax and watch the sunset and the crazies on the river. There are a lot of boats for such a narrow river. The park is near full and there are at least 4 Canadian rigs here.

APR. 16, Saturday, Parker; Sunny and HOT...100*F (35*C)
After a lazy morning we finally got going and went to find a few caches near town. We stopped at Walmart to get soap for my dry skin. Then it was time to follow the directions of a few more caches which led us to the famous “DESERT BAR”. It is approx. 5 miles on this gravel road leading into the mountains and the desert. We drove around a bend and there it was! First we saw a church which consisted of one wall built of steel with the steeple and the bell at the top; then we saw a house and huge canopies. When we parked in this big parking lot, we could hear the music; they had a live band. We walked to the entrance way which was a covered bridge and entered into the bar area. There were chairs and table everywhere under the canopies and there was a building with more tables and chairs and the bar where they served beer and wine for really cheap prices. Across the way was another bar but that was where they cooked hamburgers, chilli and hot dogs. Nothing special but the beer was cold and the food cheap in price. This whole place is the work a man who started with just a covered bar and it progressed to what it is today. As we sat there at the bar, we met a couple from Oregon; Barbara and Doyle Hopla. After a while they found a seat outside so we joined them; sitting with them was another couple, Don Dahlgren and Shirley Henderson from Airdrie, Alberta. Don and Shirley are biker friends of Russ and Silvia neighbours of Marcel and Audrey, Val’s sister, in Olds Alberta and whom we know well. What a small world! Needless to say there were a lot of chatters from then on!!! Eventually though, we had to leave so we said our goodbyes and went to find the last two caches near here then home to a cool house! It is 103*F out at 3:30 pm. and a slight breeze. Needless to say the A/C is working full-time.

April 8 to 10, 2011; California to Arizona
APR 8, Friday, DHS
The wind continued overnight but abated some. This morning it is cloudy with sunny periods and the wind is picking up some again. We’re supposed to have this until tomorrow. The park is really empty now...only about a quarter full. After her exercises, Val did the laundry and I helped. When that was completed, we went to Desert Hot Springs to get some milk and a couple other things then, yeah, we went geo-caching and found the last seven that I had on our GPS and picked up two Travel Bug that I will drop in Arizona around Ehrenberg. We came home and prepared and had dinner. It’s been quite cool all day; mid 50’s to low 60’s and gusting winds but not as strong as what they were yesterday.
APR 9, Saturday, last day in Desert Hot Springs.
Sunny but windy and cool, only reached 68*F (19*C). We busied ourselves cleaning house, vacuuming, putting stuff away outside and loading the Kayaks. For dinner, we went to the club house where they had pork, chicken ensalada, green salad and green beans. The place was almost full which was nice to see. The meal was delicious and to top it, I won the 50-50 draw: $26. This is the last meal cooked at this park for this season. After dinner, Val and I went to the pool and soaked ourselves in the hot tub. They are fed by hot mineral water and there are three of them with temperature of 98, 100 and 104 degrees. We were there for about an hour then came home, watched TV and went to bed where I had a very good sleep.
APR 10, Sunday, to Ehrenberg, Arizona
We left around 10 am, drove south east on Dillon and eventually got on I-10 East. We stopped at Chiriaco Summit for breakfast. There is also a museum here dedicated to General Patton who had a small camp near here and trained his tanks for the battles ahead. We arrived at Ehrenberg, Colorado River Oasis RV Park, a WHR park and we are here for 5 days. We are parked on the river and a beautiful grassy spot behind our rig. We went for a walk to explore the place. For dinner, I BBQ’ed steaks and shrimps (from Mexico) while Val made a salad and got the table ready.

April 4 to 7, 2011; In Desert Hot Springs
APR 4, Monday, DHS
Sunny and warm...90*F and NO wind! Val went for pool exercises but ended up with no teacher as the regular one took the day off and her replacement had a heart attack and was also unavailable. Yeah, you guessed it, we went Geo-Caching after we showered and cleaned up. We found all of 14 of them then came home and Val went directly into the pool. I entered our finds on geocache.com. The A/C is on!
APR 5, Tuesday, DHS
Another hot day; 94*F and hardly any winds. Val went for her exercises in the morning and I dumped the tanks, really exciting stuff! We spent the afternoon sunbathing, puzzling and reading. We met Dave and Louise at 4 pm at Mario’s for Happy Hour: all drinks for $2. until 6 pm and cheap appetizers which became our dinner. Gerry and Linda also came out with D&L and we had a pleasant 2 hours before it was time to say goodbye and go each our own way. We won’t be seeing Dave and Louise until at least 2 years if not before. We came home and sat outside for a while then it was time to call it a day! The wind has picked up and the sky is clouding over. The forecast is for a change by the end of the week.
APR 6, Wednesday, DHS
RAIN! YES RAIN! First rain in almost 5 months! It didn’t last long but did come down heavy. Val still went for her swim exercises and afterwards, we went to Walmart where I bought a pair of sandals and Val got some tops. We then went to Sally as Val was in need of some make-up. Then, you guessed it; we went Geo-Caching for the rest of the afternoon. We found seven along this canyon road. We had a marvellous view of the valley below and also could see where the rain was falling near Coachella and Palm Springs. We came home and had dinner then watch “Survivors”.
APR 7, Thursday, Desert Hot Spring
We woke up to strong winds! Val did go to her swim exercises though. After breakfast, we went back to Walmart to return the sandals I bought yesterday. They were really uncomfortable and my feet kept coming out of them. Afterwards, we went for lunch at a local pub then we went Geo-Caching near our campground. We got ten of them and got to see more country side. It was quite windy though, gusting at times to 35-40 miles. When we got home, the kayaks had been moved by the wind and the satellite dish was blown over. So we set everything once again then it was time for Happy Hour. The winds are so strong now that the whole trailer is shaking.

The month is starting on a very HOT note! It is already 101*F at noon, YES 101*F (40*C)! The A/C really has a hard time keeping the rig cool. Dave came over this morning and helped me installed two AC outlets; actually he did all the work as I am not that good at that stuff...electricity scares me! I then loaded the bikes and packed the truck. Val did a load of laundry and now she is at the pool with Louise. We met at the Ennis for Happy Hour and Gerry and Linda joined us. The girls decided to go out for dinner so we went to the “Cactus Grill” down on 101. It was a bit pricey but the food was excellent! We had a good time and came home and sat out with L & D and Gerry and Linda for a nightcap. 10:30 pm and it is still 86*F (28*C) outside. The A/C has been on continuously since this morning. Tomorrow we head for Desert Hot Springs, about 45 minutes from here but at a higher altitude so hopefully, a bit cooler!?
APR 2, Saturday, to Desert Hot Spring, CA;
80*F sunny with cloudy period I had a lousy sleep due to the heathence my being up by 6:30 am. I even put our standing fan in the bedroom to help cool off. After packing and saying goodbye to everyone, we got on I-10 by 10:30 am and were at Desert Pool RV Resort by 11:15. We unpacked and then went to town to get some groceries and stopped for Chinese food at the mall. We came home and put everything away. The wind really picked up in the last hour, gusting to 25 MPH. There is a partial cloud cover but it is still sunny and warm...80*F (25*C). N 33* 55.435 W 116* 26.006 Alt: 1055 ft We travelled a whole 28 miles (46Km) in 45 minutes @ an average 38MPH.

APR 3, Sunday, DHS;
After a very nice cool sleep (50*F overnight) and a very lazy morning, we finally showered. I took the kayaks off the truck and set up the satellite dish. In the afternoon, we went to Costco to pick up a couple items then came home and put everything away. I got a 50 oz of vodka and bourbon for $21 each. I also picked up six (6) huge and thick New-York steaks for $29. Sure can’t beat those prices at home. I also filled up the truck @ 4.25/gal; cheapest anywhere in town at Valero. Earlier, I also skyped the Kirkby’s and learned that they are in Parker with a few mutual friends; unfortunately we will miss them by the time we get there but will see them all at home. Brenda and Al are already in BC at home. Val went to the club house to work on a puzzle and I caught up with my blog. IT is quite windy right now and keeping things cool. It is 73* F right now (5 pm) but it had gone up to 80*F
