Jello plans...Cal Nev Ari RV Park..

Saturday, Feb 16...

Ken got back about 0930 from doing the laundry (thanks honey).  We had our breakfast and got ourselves ready to leave La Posa South for the last time this year :(   Dump station and water good to go.  We got out of there at our regular time of about 1100.  
Last night's sunset


Our sunrise this am! 

Deb's Ocotillo

Still got some red flowers

Filled out nice and green

Our spot, which is where we were last week

We were only traveling to Parker, AZ so no problem leaving late.  Best laid plans..right?!  We got to La Paz County Park and could see it was packed but we drove in anyway.  Yes we could get a dry camp site, which is what we planned but oh boy...sardines.  We decided against staying there. We had a beautiful drive and then in Lake Havasu we were amazed at all the RVs in that area on hills.  This weekend is the pyrotechnic show!  WOW! We drove on, got gas at the freeway and ate a quick lunch in the trailer.  Ok, we discussed staying in Needles at the KOA or driving on.  Still early enough so we drove a bit further and are now at a Passport America Park in CAL-Nev-Ari.  We've stayed here a couple of times before.  Older park, full hookups, no wifi, no cable, nice bathrooms and with tax $11.05!  Can't beat that! Pull through site, nice quiet park.  
Love these clouds in the distance! 

Parker area..

Colorado River in Parker is beautiful 


La Paz County Park..uh no..

Just too crowded for us..

Nearing Havasu

You want crowded  wow! Lake Havasu area..

WOW!! 



I always find this funny..When grandson Adam was little and
we would be on vacation...he'd say.."Grandma, why are all the
convertibles driven by old guys?"...

There you goNice car guys! 

It was cold and windy when we got here. Ken called his mom and they had a nice chat for a bit. He started the bar b q and is cooking some boneless pork ribs for dinner and oh they smell good!  
Love these clouds! 

Looks like somewhere is getting rain or something! 

Our site at the RV Park..

Clouds in the distance! 

Tomorrow our plans (haha) our to head for Tonopah, NV about 285 miles from here.  There's a nice rest area about 10 miles from town that we like to stay in, so hoping that happens.  We'll be home on Monday if all goes as planned. 

Even though we got a late start this year we can't tell you all how much we enjoyed spending time with everyone! From the ones we only got an hour or two, to the ones we spent a couple of weeks with we are so blessed to be able to call you our friends :0  Who would have thought years ago that we would have special friends from Canada and the UP that we can meet up with once a year or more:) Those happened through blogging!  Through Facebook we met up with Elva and Jerry from West Sacramento and almost 30 years later we met up in person again!   I've said it before and mean it now Our Hearts our Happy and we are so blessed to call you all friends! See you next year! :) 


Good night from CAL-Nev-Ari!


Russell and family are in Portland for the weekend for basketball.  Hoping they have a wonderful time!  Bryan and family are getting lot's of snow.Travel safely in CA this weekend.

  2. It is nice to be flexible when travelling and can stop where and when you want that looks comfortable. It really was nice to spend sometime with you guys again this winter. Continued safe travels home.

  3. You are truly our friends, and even though we only got a couple of hours in, it would not have been a winter south without seeing you.

    1. I concur, I had a sad moment when I thought we'd miss seeing you but was thrilled that you fit us in to your shortened tighter schedule. Hugs to you both! Longer visit next time!!

  4. A wonderful tribute to your friends. I'm glad you and Ken were able to make this journey to see them. There is nothing quite like seeing old 'new' friends. Today's technology has certainly made this world much smaller and has given us a gift of being able to do what we do, meet friends we know but haven't yet met.
    Wow that is pretty packed along the way, although with this being a long weekend I would think it's probably only a short term full and by Monday evening it'll be mostly empty again.
    Safe travels!!
