Catching up with Family

We have just spent Wednesday and Thursday with Bob’s cousin, Darlene, who spends her winters in Lake Havasu AZ and summers in Jackson WY.  It has been awhile since last visiting with her, so there was lots to catch up on.  Here are the cousins:

Other than a place to spend a mild winter, Lake Havasu is also known for the location of the London Bridge these days.  It was purchased from London, totally dismantled, shipped to Arizona, and reassembled here.



 Wikipedia has some information about the town and the moving of the bridge at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Havasu_City,_Arizona

Note that they say it is the #2 Tourist attraction in the state (after the Grand Canyon).  Thanks, Darlene, for showing us around town.


After a special trip to a yarn shop Friday morning, we left the park about noon for a short drive south to Quartzsite, which is the winter home for lots of RVers.  The big RV trade show is now over, so it is not quite as crowded.  Most people come here to park “off the grid”, out in the desert with no utilities.  Here we are doing the same:
