After Jerry picked me up in Mesa from my Missoula trip, we went back to the rig parked at the phoenix Elks and got ready to leave on Tuesday.
Arrived Quartzsite and set up camp. Didn’t take any photos, but enjoyed the beautiful saguaros, lots of friends, shopping in town, Thrifty ice cream cones for lunch and good food. A busy and fune time.
From Quartzsite, went to Tucson, AZ to visit best friend, Nan and hubby, Lou. They had great welcome dinner for us. We didn’t do much while there but visit and play scrabble cubes, eat and eat. Went out for dinner to their fave local Mexican restaurant for my birthday, and another birthday dinner at their place with surf and turf. Also had delicious meal at Mama Louisa’s, a great Italian restaurant. A great visit to catch up, but all too short.
Jerry’s eye appointment there with Dr. Lindsay Tavaras at the Tucson VA went very well. She is the surgeon who will be doing Jerry’s first cataract surgery on 2/22. She was very thorough, informative and nice. Think it was reassuring to hear all the details and timeline, etc. We will return next day for check, then in one week. Then back in one month,for check and glasses if needed. Also hope to do 2nd eye 1 mo. after first surgery with same timeline scenario. Should be all set to go north after released!
Went to Parker, AZ on 1/29 to boondock near the edge of the wash where the Parker 425 race vehicles scream by on Saturday for the Parker 425 Best of the Desert off road race. There are about 15 different classes of vehicles from trick trucks to buggies to volkswagons. Always a fun day visiting with people as we watch the race from different areas. We hosted a potluck at 5 pm with about 25 attending. Delicious food as always when Boomers get together.
Jerry and Ron relaxing. Just past the bushes in the pix is the race wash.
Our two rigs making a nice private yard.
Beautiful sunsets every night
Watching the race with Vicky and Terry’s grandson visiting from Washington state.
Terry brought his dirt bike out and the boys had fun taking turns riding it. Unfortunately a flat tire was a problem…how many people does it take to change a flat? Jerry made the boys do it til they got it right while he supervised. Fun day.
