Due to Powell and Char leaving today we decided to get up
early. We went for breakfast at
Daybreakers Restaurant. After breakfast
we took them to Martinez Lake, an oasis in the desert right along side the
Colorado River. This is a cool place,
boating can go from Imperial Dam to Blythe, by boat almost 80 miles. Talking to the locals, there is plenty of
fish and deep enough to handle most small boats.
We headed back and stopped by the small church alongside Hwy
95. Very small church, seats 18 people.
Powell and Char headed out around noon, and we juggled our
coach over when they left. There is much
cleaning that has to happen, laundry, putting things away which Vadie had
purchased, and general cleaning of the coach due to the dust from Quartzite.
Vadie also made a spaghetti dinner, enough for us and our
neighbours so we ate outside with them.
They sure were glad to see us back.
Powell and Char made it to Eloy, where one can get their
wheel polished for $5 each – this is amazing.
They showed us pics of the before and after – what a difference. Safe travels you two.
In the evening Vadie and I relaxed ourselves by watching TV.
Tomorrow will be another busy day.
Special Person Today – Don and Mavis – two great folks whom
we got to know many years ago. Although
both elderly folks, both keep very active.
They are talented in many regards, Don with music, and handcrafting,
Mavis with cooking, baking and knitting.
Most of all, they are always there when we need them, this year long
trip has been hard on them as we usually visit them every other week. Hang in there you two, we will be home soon.
