Update from Hawthorne NV

Getting close to home now...Reno local channels on our satellite TV.  😀

Nice stay in Pahrump and last night we had a farewell (until the next time) dinner with Mike & Mary at Nicco's Pizza...delicious!

Arrived at Whiskey Flats RV Park  around 2:30pm after about a 4:30 hour run. We've stayed here a few times and it is always a nice stop over. Mountains of course all around and we did see snow (think we saw Mammoth and the snow looked deep) on many peaks. Cooler temps now than what we've been use too....69 when we arrived and going into the 30's tonight....snuggle time!! 😍

We are about 145 miles from home...about a 2:30 drive tomorrow.

More when we can....

Extending in Pahrump....

Liking the area and have decided to stay a few more days so now.....

We'll leave for an overnight in Hawthorne, NV on Wednesday then home in Reno on Thursday. Weather will be warming up by then hopefully.

Going to an Easter brunch dinner tonight with Mary & Mike at one of the local casino's here in Pahrump so no cooking again in the rig. Last night's dinner at Mai Tai was delicious.

Happy Easter everyone and for friends in Reno we'll see you soon.

Back in Nevada!

Short Update...

After a nice  3 day stay with Mary & Mike in Lake Havasu City we made about a 3+ hour run arriving in Pahrump, NV around 1:30pm. Was a good idea to leave today instead of Saturday as most of the winds subsided and what there was was mostly a head wind. Only 66 today but warming close to 80 for the rest of the week.

We are at Preferred RV Resort until the 17th when we leave foe an overnight in Hawthorne before getting home the next day. Looking at the weather in Reno lately we may delay a bit more. 😉

Mike & Mary will arrive here on Thursday (they signed up for a week in LHC at their member park) so we get to spend a couple more days with them for dinners and fun before we split for the summer. They love the My Thai restaurant here in Pahrump and that will be a for sure experience.

Heard from friends Norma and Steve who use to live in Reno and now the Fallon, NV area.. They are on the way here for a Good Sam's rally and hopefully we can do a visit.

No pics with this entry but will have on the next.....

Oh OK....here are a couple off pics....

Our handsome boy Baxter;

And Duffy...looking forward to getting him home.

Lake Havasu City

Travel Update!

Arrived in Lake Havasu City yesterday around 3:30 after an uneventful 5 hour run. Just as warm here as in Eloy with temps in the 90's...got down to 65 last night! 😎

We are at Havasu Falls RV Resort and here is the view this morning from our site.

Baxter and Duffy got a bath a few days ago with help from friend Mary our next door neighbor. This is 2 years in a row that Mary & Tom, who are from Boise, have been next door.

Here are a couple of pics of Duffy getting his first bath on the road.

We were planning on 2 overnights here but with high wind warnings in place Saturday from here to Pahrump we'll leave Sunday now.

More when we have it.....

Packin' Up for the Trip Home

Been awhile since our last entry but it's just that we've been doing the stuff we have grown to enjoy over the last couple of years in the area with old and new friends.

Lot off people have headed out over the last couple weeks and the park is looking pretty bare but that is the norm this time of year. Today we cleaned and packed up things for our trip North and it starts tomorrow.

We will be traveling with Mike & Mary who full time in their Class A motorhome and our first stop is Lake Havasu City. We were planning 2 nights but it looks like high winds Saturday so we'll probably leave Sunday now.

Next stop is Pahrump, NV about 60+ miles Northwest of Las Vegas. We plan on staying about 1 week before heading home with an overnight in Hawthorne, NV.

Our stay here has really gone by fast but it's time to get home and we look forward to being with friends there.

Oh...reservations already made for coming back here with a tentative arrival of Nov.1.

More when we have it......

St. Paddy's Day Dinner & Dance

Another fun filled evening last night at the Tumbleweed. Place was packed as usual and if you didn't have a reservation don't think you could get a place to enjoy the dinner and the music by Bunky.

Dinner was great with a choice of traditional corned beef and cabbage or the regular Friday night fish fry.,,the corned beef was delicious...trust me.

Our group of 12

Bob & Marilyn are close friends with Bunky. They leave today for their home in Wyoming and will be back here in January...safe travels.

Bunky always has a couple of special songs for Bob & Marilyn.

Toni & Mary enjoying!!

More soon.....

Latest Updates from Eloy, Arizona

Been awhile so here are a few updates from warm Eloy, AZ.

Well it's been 'toasty'...but we like it. Today it's...

Betty and the girls have been shopping including going up to the Mesa Market.

Been to The Tumbleweed of course for Friday fish fry's entertained by Bunky and some Wednesday's for taco night with great music by C.C. Collier. Going there tonight actually and have a table for 8 reserved. If you don't make a reservation you probably will not get a seat and that goes for most nights.

Had Duffy to the vet on the 7th and he is in great shape except for...needs a big time teeth cleaning and scheduled for the 22nd. He'll more than likely lose some teeth (can't wait to see the bill for this). Shots are now all up to date.

Broasted chicken at Flashback's at least a couple times.

March 9, 2017 9:38pm

Since it was so warm today, 86, decided on something easy for dinner.

Remembered we brought along some escargot, and the appropriate bowls, we then picked up some fresh baked french bread at the local Fry's (Kroger) and commenced. No homemade Caesar's today though...although I think that will be coming soon.

So with a bottle of wine and the above mentioned we turned off the a/c about 6:30pm and enjoyed.

Still 67 out there...oh well.

The 11th there was a barbershop group called Anything Goes in the clubhouse and they were really entertaining.

The next day, Sunday the 12th, we went back to The Tumbleweed for their weekly afternoon jam session where musicians, whether local or here for the Winter, come in and play together. Great talent with artists back in the days that have played with the likes off Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Johhny Cash and more. Stewart MacDougall was the lead today along with Myron on the electric violin and Mark on the keyboard piano.

Yesterday, Tuesday the 14th, Craig & Cindy came down for a visit from their winter digs up in Mesa. After chatting some we went to one of our favorite restaurants in Casa Grande...the Creative Cafe. After a nice lunch we headed back to Eloy and the airport for SkyDive Arizona. Always fun watching these idiots jump out of perfectly good airplanes. 😉

Lot of military personnel training today...we think from a Country in Europe.

Got back home to this...

Originally we were falsley blaming Baxter for this but we know now who really grabs all the napkins off the table...Duffy!!

With a couple of wines and some homemade chocolate brownies Cindy made we Skyped with Cal & Yvonne back in Green Bay. That was fun to see and talk to them from afar. After that C&C headed back to Mesa after a most enjoyable day.

To top the day off for us Bunky was playing in the clubhouse...non-stop for 3 hours ending at 10pm.

This Friday we go to the Tumleweed (yes we are regulars) for their St. Paddy's Day Dinner & Dance with music by The Campbell Brothers...should be raelly fun night.

Last week or so many rigs leaving all over the area including here heading North...albeit most probably taking their time watching the weather. Canadians can only be in the U.S. for 6 months in a row and many come down in October so...

Here are some more pics that should be new here in our Trip Journal.

C&C getting aquainted

Mike looks bonded with Duffy

Craig joined the growing list of Duffy lovers

As does Dick

More soon as we start headin' North first part of April.

Trust everything well with all.
