Parker trip, part 1.

Norma and Lou wanted us to go to Big River, CA to pick up a fifth wheel for them. Newell and Linda jumped in the back seat and off we went. The short version is 1. camper was a POS 2. decision was made to leave it there 3. let's go explore! Earlier when Dennis & Sharen discovered we were making the trip they decided to come meet us. They were not very far away. They are 2 of our NM group. We meet them and Pat & Ward (fellow work campers from Diamond RV Park, in Woodland Park) for dinner. I was sick with a terible head cold and could not breathe. Pat hugged me at the restaurant and said "you are burning up." I guess I must have been contagious huh! Back to the adventure. The next morning we inspected the camper and Lou decided to cut his loses. Live & learn. We proceeded over to pick up Dennis & Sharen and off to Lake Havasu City we went. Dave & Dennis in the front of the truck with me, Sharen, Linda and Newell in the back. YUP it was cozy. OK, shift turn the other way, my butts asleep!! We wondered around the London Bridge, inspecting & shopping. Yes,it is from London. Only $4 million to get it over here and another 2 mill to put it in it's chosen spot. It is cool tho!
I bought my new hat there. Red started it. His was way too cool. It looks great on Dave.
As we were walking across the bridge for lunch there goes Ward & Pat's jeep. If you ever need to find them go to the local brewery. Ward had a doc appt. so they ate and rushed off. Here's Dennis & Sharen enjoying a sample of beers.
The reason for the blog name change next time.......
