Today we're heading for Quartzite ...

Yesterday (Tuesday) we took our time getting going.  Ken cooked some scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast..yummy.  I decided to ride along as he was going to Smith's and the bank in Bullhead City.  Figured it was time to get out of the house and some fresh air after the last few days.  

After that we headed over to Davis Dam just to check it out.  Looks like they are doing a nice job of putting together a visitor area, not at the dam but below.  They've got picnic tables, covers and a children's play area complete with a water play area that I'm sure is full of kids in the summer when they say days can get to 120 degrees here.  The road ends here so you can't go to the top of the dam or anything, but still glad we checked it out.  By the time we got back it was too cool to sit outside so we went back inside and watched the news and enjoyed the full hookups! ha..

Today we set the alarm for 0530 Arizona time, but fell back to sleep until 0630..oh well, we don't have that far to go, but we are slow at getting going.  Guess we are really good at this retirement thing (after 7 years guess we should be)..

We've decided to head for the free camping area of Quartzite this morning (or noon haha)..and spend a few days there before moving on to the LTVA that has access to the dump station etc...we won't need it for awhile so figure we'll try this.  This is the week of the BIG TENT..so hopefully we'll be able to brave the crowds and check it out.  

Bryan had a tree blow down at his house over the weekend, he said between the rain and snow, guess it got too heavy.  No damage, so that's good news. Bryan got it down and all chopped up.   

Ken's brother Dave had one blown over in front of his house and had some people come remove it.

It's 37 degrees now here, which is cold for this area.  21 degrees at home with a high of 35..we'll take this weather.
