The lights are on and Parkers are home.
Sorry about the snow guys, but we have brought snow or rain everywhere we’ve been.

Bye bye Jeep
Our favorite toy is going in the garage. 
She is going to be in there for maybe a couple of weeks. They think her computer is caput! We will be here in Lake Havasu for quite awhile.
We have a lot of hiking we can do here and the library is nice. London bridge is here and we will be showing you that soon.
Just click on comments if you would like to leave us a message. We would love to hear from you all.Kofa Recreation and animal Reserve
Today was cloudy and cool so we took a 30 mile jeep ride through Kofa via Crystal Hill. We packed a picnic lunch and had a great time just looking at the scenery . The desert is just blooming this time of year. When we arrived it was barren and now it’s flowering. I am glad we got to see it cause it doesn’t last long.

IMPERIAL DUNES – FEB. 7
We drove through Imperial Dunes today. You think we have dunes in Michigan—baaaa; here in California—now they have dunes. Luke you and Garrick and Quentin would have a blast. Look at these pics:
Here is a pic I like.
The desert was dry and barren when we first camped here but now it is blooming.

Mexico
We are in California now so we went into Mexico for lunch. Hate all the haggling so we didn’t stay too long. You can get your teeth cleaned for $15.00 but I took my chicken butt right out of there! I got a silver bracelet and Dad got some Prilosec. LOL
NO MORE MITTRY
We’ve been booted. You are only allowed 
to stay here for 10 calendar days and we have
stayed 22 days. Now we are back on the road again looking for another great spot.
Happy Birthday Chel and Jake. Hope you have great ones. We are eating cake and ice cream right now to help you celebrate. Love you bunches.Large Mouth Bass
I am standing on the dock looking down for this picture so it doesn’t look as large as it is. What a catch ! Here is another shot
I have been wearing my camera on my belt for two months straight; today I just didn’t bring it aboard. Had to race back to shore ,run for the camera—huff huff and try to release the fish before it expired. lol we made it. Wow what a splash he made.
Cactus Valley
We named this gorge cause we found such great cacti. We hiked some coyote trails across mountains to find this one.

Just relaxing
sound good now! Who knew that you should replace strings after 30 years. lol
Mittry Lake site #2
This is our new campsite. Pretty cool huh.
Our pontoon is tied up to the dock and ready to go fishing.
WANTED BRUCE AND ARLEAN PARKER---RAIN MAKERS
We even make the cactus grow.
Walked into the Post Office yesterday in the pouring rain the postmistress said just look at that rain. We don’t get this, we just don’t get this; I hope it rains all day. Well, it did and the next. We have hard rain and wind. Schools have closed-the kids are so excited. More rain in the forecast for tomorrow. This Colorado River valley we are in has to irrigate year round. That is til we showed up. We brought rain to east Texas, south Texas, New Mexico and now Arizona. We are in high demand. They all want us to come back next year, in fact they don’t want us to leave.
We were going to see a movie in town today because of the rain, but with the high wind and the roads washing away we had to stay put and keep the home-front safe. At least here it is warm even in the rain so it shouldn’t take forever to dry everything out.
We hope you all are doing well and having fun in the snow. Keep safe and know we are thinking about you—Love us

More Mittry Lake
I am still having trouble posting on this thing.
hiking
even Mom is climbing mountains
Mittry Lake
EUREKA ! At last . 
We had to go all the way to Yuma, Arizona to find warm temps and sunshine. But we did it.
This is part of our free camping spot.Yuma
Don’t want to leave here. Mountains to climb, lake to fish and sun, campsite to die for and roads to explore; and weather that can’t be beat. I am going to insert a few pictures here so you can get an idea of what it is like (for free)ten days only but --gee
Doesn’t it look fabulous? You kids would not believe the mountain your ole mom climbed. Thank heavens for hiking poles! Dad is at it everyday—me every other. lol
As great as it is, I still miss you all, think of you everyday and wish the grandkids would drop us a line---you older kids too. We don’t often get wi-fi or even phone reception, but when we do----we’d like a message or two, or three.
We’re thinking we now need a new cell phone. It is “dispicable” (said like Donald Duck) how many things we have had to replace on this trip. Let’s see, first was the power converter, then a 60 dollar upgrade to our GPS then Dad left his Tevos at a campsite and we had to replace them—then our generator connecters
went bad so we had to buy a battery charger. I know I left something out but hey this is enough right here.,
Hope this finds all of you well and enjoying the snow. love you all so much.
Leasburg Dam, New Mexico
This was our campsite in Leasburg. The restaurant around the corner was sooooo good!One thing we sure can’t complain about is the food.
