Good bye Q! See you next year! Lunch with friends! Waking up near Lake Havasu!

Good Morning from near Lake Havasu! 

Our boon docking site..

Sunrise out the trailer window...

Yesterday (Monday) we got up and got the day going.  Did our usual blogging and commenting, coffee and then off to showers etc.  Ken ran to town to get gas and ice before hooking up the trailer. I stayed behind and got ready. 

Our beautiful sunrise yesterday...:)

When he got back we had a little of Ree's breakfast casserole to hold us over until lunch.   We had made plans with Deb and Tom to head to Silly Al's for pizza before we all left the camping area. 

Ken hooked up the trailer and we headed to the dump station to dump the tanks. Too many trailers in line, we turned around and then tried again later in the morning.  There were 4 in line and as Ken made the u turn to get in line and another had snuck in. Two were dumping, so it made us #8 in line. The lines actually moved pretty quickly so we got that done, moved to fill with fresh water and waalaa..all accomplished.  We headed back to camp to wait for Deb and Tom as he was dumping also.  Got a text from Deb, confirming we were still doing lunch and so we moved to our old camping spot and met them nearer the gate.  We all jumped into their Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and off we went.  

Silly Al's was an ok experience this time where as Saturday was great when we were there.  We know they screwed up Deb's drink order and Ken's beer definitely wasn't what the waitress said it was.  But no convincing her (the waitress)..Pizza was good, conversation was awesome and it was around 1400 we left the joint. Back to the trailer, hugs all around and more hugs and we're out of there. 

Silly Al's

Tom and Deb..:)

We only had 75 miles to go at the most and they had less so it was all good.  

Beautiful drive we had from Quartzite to Parker to near Lake Havasu.  We had seen a few boon docking sites on our way down so we were attempting to go to one of those.  The first one turns out was an Arizona State Land Trust.  Never heard of that but it said you had to have a permit, we didn't so we moved on.  A couple of miles down the road was another site, no sign and some rvs.  We drove back on the road and found a spot for the night.  

Between Q and Parker..

Parker to Lake Havasu..Highway 95..

A view from our site..

Different all the way around..so beautiful

Nice temps and we sat in the shade just enjoying relaxing. Great travel day! We were missing all of our Happy Hour friends, but this was nice too. 

Another view as the sun's going down..

Just enjoying..

The stars last night were incredible so we sat outside until we knew we should go in and pull together a simple, and I do mean simple dinner.  I made Ken a summer sausage and cheese grilled sandwich and he cooked a hot dog rolled in a flour tortilla. I had a grilled quarter cheese sandwich. Then time (way past time) for bed. 

Good night from a site near Lake Havasu..

Set the alarm for 0500 and now we're getting ready to leave our spot and head to Big Bend of the Colorado State Park..76 miles..another great travel day!
I imagine we'll stay a couple of days and then head home. 

** I know what you're thinking Don, if we have too many of those great travel days we'll never make it to Tennessee! **   haha..

These popped up on FB the other day...:))
