Buckskin Mt, Q with Doug and Michelle, Ogilby Rd with friends!

 We left home early Friday morning (9th) arriving at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge around 1500. It was raining a bit and cold. A nice park,15 sites, with a fire ring, picnic table and cover. FREE!  

We settled in and had a zucchini casserole I had made before leaving home for dinner. First time I had made this dish, but definitely will be making it again. It was cold and sprinkled some but nice and cozy in the Mansion. 

Saturday morning we hit the road, aiming for LaPaz county park. We were hoping to get a spot there but no luck as they had a couple of rallies going on. I called Buckskin Mountain State Park and they had a couple fo first come first serve spots available. No hookups, but there was a dump station and water available. All we need. Headed there and got a beautiful spot right by the river. We had green grass, covered picnic table and a fire ring. $35.00 a night. A little steep for no hookups but worth it! We were happy! So happy, that we spent our Champagne Sunday there!

on Sunday! 



Monday around 1200 we got out of there, stopped for some ice and gas and hit the road for Quartzite, AZ to meet up with friends Doug and Michele at Hasslers RV Park! 😁 Luckily it was under 40 miles to get there. 

We greeted each other with hugs and smiles. It's been about a year and half or so since we've seen each other. Pulled out the lawn chairs, a couple of adult beverages and talked the afternoon away. Once it cooled down we moved the party to their motorhome. I don't even know for sure what time we called it a night, but it was a great evening! 

Visiting with Doug and Michelle at Hasslers RV Park



Love these horseshoe sculptures throughout the park


Finally a picture of Doug! 😍 

Tuesday morning I made breakfast burritos for us all and after that we loaded into their car and headed for the desert and some desert golf with several of their friends. We did drop in at the air park, saw Bill and made plans for later in the day with him and Patsy. 



A great group of people! 





Spent the next two hours or so, playing golf. Of course, I'm the only one who plays left handed and all the clubs were right handed so it was interesting playing with a backward club. Found that worked the best for me rather than attempting to play right handed. By the end I wasn't doing too badly. 😁

We got back to camp, chatted a bit and another adult beverage. Doug got on his ZAP scooter and went down to  the fleet market and came home with a left handed club for me 💗 Left it with them in case they find someone else who is a lefty! Hopefully i'll get to try it out next year! 

I got to ride Doug's ZAP and it's so much fun! Like riding a big tricycle but not having to push the pedals! LOL. 

A few minutes before 1500 we headed for Outback Pizza. Bill and Patsy were there, so after hugs we all went inside and ordered. It's a different place than Silly Al's but we all liked it and the pizza was delicious! 





They had a band playing so it was hard at times to hear what everyone was saying, but the music was good. Once again it was time to say good bye until next year. Hopefully then we'll have more time to spend! 

Back at camp again we were outside until the chill pushed us inside. I wasn't able to last as long as the night before so about 1930 we came home. 

We were up for a bit and then crawled into bed. 

This little cutie turned 1 on the 11th! 
Happy Birthday Phoenix! 


I'm finishing this post from Ogilby Rd in CA where we met up with Tom, Deb, Ken, Kim, Deb and Riley. We got here Wednesday afternoon and all too soon we'll be leaving tomorrow. Having a wonderful time and the weather is perfect! Elva and Jerry will be here about 1400 for a visit this afternoon! 😀

Have a great day!
