Backtracking: April 19-30: Laughlin, Parker, Palm Springs

August 7: I know it has been awhile since I have written, but we have just been busy visiting family and friends in Wyoming and Colorado. More about all of that in another posting. I feel like I have so much catching up to do and decided to go back to when we left Las Vegas.

Okay, so you ask, why will I start with April when this is August! When I started this posting, I intended to do a quick review of April, May and June and then be current. Well, I did part of April in Las Vegas and have never gotten back to the rest of April, May and June and now still have to do part of July and August. Oh, the responsibilities of publishing a blog.

Okay so let's start with leaving Las Vegas on April 19th. We were heading
towards San Diego and of course had to make several stops along the way.......Laughlin, Parker, Palm Springs, and then San Diego.


We spent one night in Laughlin and drove to Parker, AZ where there was a membership park. I think I mentioned this in an earlier posting. Our only purpose was to get 4 nights free and all we had to do was listen to an 1 1/2 hour presentation. Three hours later we gave them our credit card and we were members.



Parker is about an hour from Lake Havasu so we drove there to see the London Bridge and the Lake plus one of the campgrounds that was part of the Colorado River Adventures (CRA) membership parks.














After 4 days in Parker we drove to the Palm Springs area. There we stayed in another CRA park which was about 30 miles from Palm Springs.


We visited with our friends..... Lynn, who we knew from Apache Junction, and Ethel, who moved to Palm Springs from St. Louis.



Lynn took us to the butterfly house











and to a street fair.









And Ethel took us out to eat.






We had a great time there and enjoyed seeing a few of the sights in Palm Springs. We left Palm Springs to go to the San Diego area. Stay tuned!

Love to all of you.
