APril 19 to 22, 2012: Bullhead City and Kevin visit

APR  19, Thursday, Geo-Caching in Bullhead City
I took Tucker for a walk this morning in the desert and found a geo-cache (with GPS); got a nice view of the airport runway and Laughlin’s casinos.  Val went for her exercises at the club house.  Later, we went geo-caching but quit after 9 as it was just too hot.  Our last geo-cache was inside a small local bar (how convenient) so we decided to eat and have a couple beers to cool off.  We came home and went to the pool (37*C in the sun) where we cooled off then came home and had dinner and watched the latest “Mission Impossible” which we bought at Walmart yesterday.


APR  20, Friday, Wash day
WOW, we slept in to 9 am this morning!  It is already 35*C in the sun!  Val did the laundry today and then went for a swim.  It’s been another hot day and we spent it inside the rig, didn’t go anywhere.  Looking forward to leaving this hot place even though I know we will regret it!  I feel like we are just surviving this heat wave!??


APR  21, Saturday, Bullhead City
26*C at 8:30 am!  It’s going to be another hot one.  Val went for exercises at the club house and I worked on our finances, really exciting stuff.  We got an e-mail from Craig and Cathy that their truck is now fixed and they are headed for home in Northern California.  You will recall that they had their truck stolen and badly damaged in San Carlos!
We went geo-caching for about an hour and half and that’s all we could stand for, we found 7 of them; just too hot:  40*C by 3 pm!  We went to another bar called “Old Town Saloon” in Laughlin, Nevada and had a couple beers then came home.  Pool time!


APR  22, Sunday, meeting Kevin in Oatman
This is supposed to be the hottest day of the week, we will soon find out!  It is already 26*C at 8 am!  We showered, got dressed and were ready to leave when we got a text from Kevin saying they were running late and will now be there at 1 pm.  We left around 11:30 am for Oatman; we look for and found a few geo-caches along the way and arrived in Oatman at 1 pm.  We walked around a bit then went inside a bar to cool off, it was 116*F outside, really... about 45* C.  Incredibly hot, yet lots of people around.  Our bikers (6 of them) arrived around 1:30 pm.  We had lunch with them and they left soon after heading for Maricopa near Phoenix.  We left and came home via a paved highway and picked up a few more geo-caches near the highway and arrived home at 4 pm.  Now we load the toys and get ready to leave.  Tomorrow we head north towards home!
