Day 39 - Blythe, CA











Here we are... along the Colorado River. Pretty isn't it? We even seen a loon. I thought we were back in Minnesota for a sec. The loon was to far away to get a picture. Had a look at it with the binoculars.



We got here about 3:00.



We looked in the book for just the right RV park & Hidden Beaches sounded really pretty. River front sites, it said. We figured it was pretty close to Quartzsite. But we were pretty disapointed. Didn't get the river front we requested because we also wanted full hookups and couldn't do that by the water. So we are 3 rows back. With weekend full timmers on both sides and back of us. so there is LOTs of stuff all over. Boats, motor cycles, wood, sheds, big dogs. No cable. But I must say the people are nice. We were invited to their bond fire tonight but just to tired. (is that what 'old' does to you?)
The beaches are really hidden.... Just look at our beach.












The best part of it all is that there is grass. Well, kind of. Pretty dry and kind of weedy but it isn't crushed rock like the AZ park. I am sure it will work out ok. Just that we paid a price to be by the water and........... It even said fishing. then to find out that there is no fishing in the winter. Ok, I have complained enough. Sorry!


Tomorrow is race day. we get 3 channels (kind of) on TV so hopefully we can watch the race. It is in California this week. Maybe we will have to listen to it on the satalite radio in the pickup. Or follow it on the computer. Maybe the neighbors will watch it . That would be nice.


Next week is flea market time in Quartzsite.


Good night


I forgot to tell you that I found the pottery I wanted. Well, almost what I wanted. Not quite the color I had hoped but this will do.
