Lake Havasu RV Resort, L.H.C., AZ
On
Saturday, Feb. 29th I was up and out the door for my walk at 7. Bill
had his shower while I was gone then he started packing up – with a vengeance.

| Morning at Pilot Knob Dean and Cheri's Big Horn Our Mobile Suite in the sunlight at the opposite end |
We had said 9 – 9:30 for departure and we were hooking up by 9. Kim and Ken
walked down to say goodbye so that was very nice. We had no issue with the
hookup and pull out so that was a sigh of relief. As we rounded the corner, Dean and Cheri were just hopping in their truck so stopped and waved as well.

| Our friends say s'long! |
I texted
Jo-Anne and Bob once we pulled out of the park and agreed to meet at a
designated spot near the foothills on I-95. Our gps took us around Yuma on
Fortuna Drive and that was pretty easy with one tight turn. It was only tight
because the motor home in the right lane neglected to acknowledge that we were
turning in the left lane at the same time. It was close but we dodged a bullet there and at one
other spot along the interstate where a neighbourly Albertan tried a similar
move with his pick up. Bob saw this guy almost wipe us out.
 |
| Driving around Yuma we noticed the horizon was heavy with smoke Never did find out what it was |
The
scenery was gorgeous and ever changing so of course, my camera, was doing
double duty. This blog will end up more like a photo shop today. We arrived at
Lake Havasu around 1:30 and the park is very full. We couldn’t get on the east
side of London Bridge Rd but she set us up side by side on the west. It is a
tight squeeze and other than moving into the wrong sites, we are quite happy
with our back end facing a fence.

I like
the pool and clubhouse on the other side so will probably go there for any
swims. I need to check out the rooms here to see about puzzles. I think the
week will go fast enough so won’t be trying to jam too much extra in. With the
satellite dish set up, we moved inside. There were quite a few upsets inside
the Suite when I walked in. Where did we hit so many bumps? It took me a fair
bit of time putting things back in order and that did nothing for my mood.

After
notifying a couple of people that we’ve arrived safely, I started this post.
Started and finished it, basically. With one of Bill’s movies on downstairs, I
took my book upstairs to read a few chapters. It was very warm when we pulled
in, 79F so when the clouds moved overhead, it was a bit of a relief. I opened
the windows and stretched out on the bed. As you would expect, it wasn’t long and
I was having to close my book for a snooze.

| The drive was beautiful Through Parker |
 |
| And eventually into Lake Havasu City |
 |
| For lunch, we stopped at Mcdonald's and I had a coupe of egg sandwiches without eating all of the biscuits |
 |
| They weren't as good as Tim Horton's breakfasts but not bad |
I heard
Bill’s phone indicating a text message and he called up to tell me that Keith
was settling in at Lone Tree BLM to the north of Lake Havasu City. We are happy
that he is there, it is our favourite in the area………..well, with the exception
of one personal property on Kibby that we’ve camped on. We think that Keith
will like it up there very much and he is only 7 miles from our park. We’ll
take a drive tomorrow to see him and his set up.

| I missed getting a picture of the worst scenario Madame IP had jumped out of the coffee cupboard and was upside down on the corner of the island Had I opened this slide, she would have dropped to the floor The dishes on the stove top all came out and dropped from the cupboard in the bottom right photo The fridge was also jumbled although all my bars were in place |
After I
came downstairs at 5, Bill said he wasn’t overly hungry (we’d had a big lunch)
and was happy with a peanut butter and cheese sandwich. I needed to find
something so ate the last of the Caesar salad and opened a can of salmon. That
was tasty and hit the spot with a cup of tea on the side. Bill took care of the
dishes tonight and then we walked next door to see if Jo-Anne and Bob were up
for a visit. We’d skipped Happy Hour today; we just weren’t in the right frame
of mind.

| Jim, our neighbour at P.K. has flamingos and woodpeckers in various stages of construction |
We got
our friends eating but instead of letting us leave they invited us in while
they ate. We caught up a bit on what has been going on and a few tips were
shared with each other. Higgins was typical Higgins, with his chewed-up toys,
his face kisses and the way he just stretches out on the floor after greeting
us. Such a little cutie pie, he is. I missed him. It was around 7 when we said
goodnight after making plans to go to the flea market in the morning. I hope it
is still a Sunday event.
 |
| We visited the Francis' after supper |
As I
wrote the last of my blog and downloaded pictures, Bill watched a movie. I’d
mixed up a package of sugar-free, low carb chocolate pudding and whipped cream
so got us each a dish. It was very good and guilt-free! That’s it for the
night, uneventful. The air had cooled off since the sun went down and even
though some wind was still evident at the tree tops, 72F felt quite nice
filtering in through the windows of the Suite.

| An easy tasty supper |
This was
a good day and we are set up in a new park in a pretty city. I'll get a picture of our sites for tomorrow's blog post.

| Dessert was quite good Good night from Lake Havasu City |
