Frank Sinatra Invitational Golf

Jerry wanted to go to the golf tournament so on Friday we went over to check it out.  There was several stars that played in it so we sent the other Jerri out to search for them.

With her trusty cameras in hand and around her neck she finally found some of the more popular folks.

He was so nice and talked with us a little.  He told me he was 76 yrs young and felt great. It was a fun day.

Karaoke night

2-6-2011

The Lavins were staying at the same park we were in, so we joined them for Karaoke night at the pool bar. We had heard that Ed like to sing and boy does he and very well. Linda also sings and did a duo with Ed. We had a good time listening to all the singers, good and bad.

Oatman, Az

2-3-2011

Before we left the Lake Havasu area we went over to Oatmen, Az. Oatmen is a little western town turned tourist attraction. It was a mining town back in the day but, today it is best known for the burros that wander around town looking for hand-outs.

Earp, California

From Quartzite, we moved on over to the Colorodo River where it’s a little greener.  We are staying at Emerald Cove Rv park in Earp, Ca for a few days where we have hook-ups again.

It’s a nice change from the desert.

We took a ride up to Lake Hauvasu to see the London Bridge on Tuesday.  Hard to believe they moved it all the way from London and reassembled it in the desert. Oh well. mexico to Lake Havasu 079mexico to Lake Havasu 078

Moved on to Quartzite next for the big RV show. Lots of rv vendors set up in a big tent and thousands of people attend year after year.  Everyone just camps in the desert and attends the show for a week.mexico to Lake Havasu 048Some of the tents

We parked out on Plumosa Rd. this year which is north of the city along with some new friends and we had a great time with them, especially around the campfires.
