Route 66 near Oatman, AZ 

More of AZ

We are still in Lake Havasu City, Az and enjoying our visit with family and friends. Dixie's 2 brothers, sister-in-law and niece were here last week. We made a day trip to a small minning town on Historic Route 66. It has been raining alot which is very unusual for the desert - we must have brought it with us from Houston. Mike has been playing golf and Dixie plans to take it up if it ever quits raining long enough! We will be here until March 1st and then we move on to the Las Vegas area.

London Bridge 

"London Bridge" on Lake Havasu 

Lake Havasu City, AZ

We are now at our home in Lake Havasu City for the month of Feb. Dixie's parents and some friends spend the winter months here so we are enjoying spending time with them and meeting other new friends! Did you know that Lake Havasu City is the home of the original "London Bridge". It has been pretty windy since we got here so we haven't been out to get a good picture of the bridge yet. When we do, we will put a picture of the bride on the site. We made a day trip to Mexico yesterday to a little border town just out of Yuma. Dixie's dad and a friend went to the dentist down there so we made the trip with them. We even decided to have our teeth cleaned while we were there (at 1/2 the price we pay in the US). There are many, many dental offices in this town as well as optical places and pharmacy's. They sell USA prescription drugs without a prescription and at a lower price. Needless to say the place is packed with retired Americans! It took us at least a 1/2 hr to get across the border when we were ready to leave. You park on the US side and walk across. We are ready for the wind to quite blowing and the temp to rise! It's been in the mid 60's - it just doesn't feel like it with the wind!

Quartzsite, AZ

We spent 2 days "boondocking" (for those of you that aren't familar with that term it's camping without hookups - water, electric, sewer) in the desert near Quartzsite. There were thousands of RV's parked everywere and I do mean everywhere. We went to a large RV show and flea market. Everyone was selling some kind of "wares" and of course we came away with a few things. It was fun but we decided we wouldn't want to boondock for to many days in a row. Of course we had electricity using our generator so we didn't ruff it too much!
