A little exploring

Last night we visited again with Art and Connie.  We had invited them over to play some Pegs and Jokers but we never got to the game as we were too busy talking.  Art and Connie left this morning for Yuma.  Safe travels you two.  

The park is doing some work on their water well and the guys started bright and early at 7 a.m.  So much for sleeping in. 

We decided to take the river drive on the California side of the Colorado River.  We didn't realize that there were so many mobile home/RV parks on both sides of the river not to mention some very nice looking homes.  The view from the California side was more attractive to us than looking at California from the Arizona side.  

We did get to see some wild burros.  Not surprising, they look just like the Custer, SD burros lol.

Next up was the Parker Dam which supposedly is the deepest dam in the world as 73 percent of its structural height of 320 feet  is below the original river bed.  The reservoir behind the dam is Lake Havasu.  Here is a link if you would like to read more about Parker Dam.

                                        

We were going to drive over the dam but the barriers were so close that we were concerned about scratching up the wheel fenders so we went back the way we came.  We did stop at one RV park that said $10 a night for full hook-ups.  What was the catch?  Well, the offer was good for three nights but you had to listen to their membership talk.  No thanks.

We stopped for lunch at Crossroads Cafe in Parker.  Actually, the service was good as was the Taco Salads which was a pleasant surprise. 

There is a RV/Marine store in Parker that is called Spanky's which is one of the best stocked RV stores we have ever been in.  We stopped in to browse and didn't see anything that we absolutely needed but we did have a nice conversation with the clerk about the area.

The rest of the day was just spent taking it easy.  Life is good.
