Days
41 – 43, Wednesday – Saturday, February 27 – March 2, Rainbow Acres,
Quartzsite, AZ
Finally heading to Arizona, stopping in Blythe to update our
larder. (An unpleasant word, since we
have been eating quite well on this trip!)
We have stayed at Debi and Larry’s place every year we have
traveled! This year Debi’s Mom Joann is
also staying with them. Thursday Jim
played desert golf with the guys, and I rode my bike around the
neighborhood. Thursday night we had a
barbecue with Debi and Larry, Jan and Dwayne, and Kate and Bib Weigant, who
were staying nearby, with everybody contributing food.
Friday, we drove down to the 665,400 acre Kofa National
Wildlife Refuge and drove up Queen Canyon, a rough ride definitely requiring a
four-wheel-drive vehicle. After all the
rain this winter, the wildflowers are everywhere, and beautiful, including
scorpion flower. We parked and walked a
way up the road, after help from other folks who were up there, and were able
to see Bighorn Sheep through the binoculars!
We had great pizza at Silly Al’s in town.
