On to Arizona!

Jan 22 - 30....We are out of the state of California! We spent the last 5 night parked in the desert of Quartzsite, AZ on BLM land (that means no hookups - electric, sewer or water). We made good us of our Generator & Inverter so we had all the comforts of home with just a slight smell of diesel. We met us with some friend from Houston (Eugene & MaryKay) They had their motorhome so we were parked next to each other. We spent our time taking in the huge RV Show and all the local vendors. It's very hard to describe what the little town of Quartzsite looks like this time of the year. There are thousands of RV campers parked every where!!! We had a great time shopping and visiting and we even had a campfire every night. We took a day trip to Parker (about 40 miles away). We dropped off MaryKay at the casino, Mike & Eugene golfed at Emerald Canyon and Dixie practiced hitting balls. Monday we headed up the road to Lake Havasu City, AZ where we will spend the month of Feb. Dixie's parents stay in a park model there for a few month in the winter and we will be parked in the same park. It's right on the Lake so we are hoping for warm weather. Dixie's brother & daughter were also there for the weekend. We spent some time at the pool, the lake & teaching Lexi how to ride her new bike with training wheels. And of course we did have a motorhome problem --- when driving to Lake Havasu we heard a knocking sound coming from a front wheel so today we are trying to get that checked out. We thought since we had a new motorhome that we shouldn't have these problems but I guess that's not the case!
