A few pics taken at Imperial Dam, Az in March.

Our friend Don took us on a walk through a small canyon not too far from our campsite.

Don & MJ chatting away                        Does this look like a camel carved in the rock?

Yes, they did walk out of it.                  Don showing how big these rocks are.

We went to visit the Yuma Territorial jail museum.

 

 

MJ didn’t realize she had to be serious. 

 

What is this bug?

 

Last pic of our friends the burros.

 

The desert came alive in mid March.

This is an Aloe Vera plant.

 

We are now on the move toward B.C.   Will post more as we go along.  Left Imperial Dam on Tuesday the 26th and taking our time as we don’t want to be in BC much before mid April. 

Getting close to going north time.

Have to mention that MJ did not catch a stripper but a striper.  lol.  Tks Betsy for pointing that out.  Maybe I should do a spell check before publishing.  lol

 

Yep, it’s getting time to roll north soon.  The temperature has been pretty high in the last couple week.  33 to 35 degrees C.  Thank goodness for shade.

 

Our friends Lynden and Charlie arrived here a couple weeks ago and their son Trent arrived a couple days ago.  sooo nice to see them.  Having fires, dinner, happy hour and what nots with them.  Real nice.

 

As promised, here are more pics of our trip to Los Algadones, Mexido.  One big flea market.

You get the picture.  We had a great day there.

This blog will be made up of a mixture of stuff.

MJ catches her first stripper.

MJ went fishing down the Colorado River with one of our neighbours, Eric and caught her first  stripper bass.  Quite the happy girl.

 

 

We had friends here for a Hot dog  burn.

 

 

Went to LOS ALGADONES, Mexico with Eric (in his Prevost bus), Rick, Gord, Wayne, Lynn, MJ and me. 

It was very busy and had to wait a couple hours to cross back into the US.  So, we all went into a bar to wait it out.  Gord went into the line up about an hour afterwards and we met him about half an hour later we in the line up.  Thanks to him, we just sat and drank pop, beer, margaritas, margaritas, did I say margaritas.

 

The following pics will show some of the vendors and their goods.

Started this blog about a week ago, so thought I may as well publish it half done, because who knows when I will finish it.  So, more pics of Algadones later.

This if for you: MARC

You wanted to know how many rigs there were here.  This is a small portion of them.

This is what happens when you put something to cook on the stove and walk away to chat with your neighbour.  (Don’t know the real story.)

Quartzsite

 In mid January, we went to Quartzsite for 7 days.  For those who don’t know what the Q is all about here goes.  It is the biggest rock & gem show in the world.  The biggest RV show in the world and the biggest garage sale in the world.  lol  We had heard soooooo much about Q that we had to go and check it out.  If you want to check out RVs, this is the place to go.  If you want beads, rocks and gems, junk, you name it, that’s the place to go.  We bought beads and stones to make wind chimes (beads) and pendants (stones).

We camped at La Posa with our friend Denise.  Poor Denise caught a really, really, really bad cold and ended up the hospital.  She is finally on the mend and sounds pretty good on her blog.  We are proud of you Denise ( for the big step you took).

While we were there, we met up with our friend Linda from Richmond.  Spent the day with her and her friend Sheila.  Had a super day with her, showing us all the different stones.  (Which she knows all the names off).

We left Q and that night I (Leona) started a cold.  Lasted a few days after taking day/night meds and drinking silver water.  Feeling great now.

When we got back, our spot was still here as we had left a few things on the ground.

  

Yep, these are guns.  Want one? 

 

 

Biggest fishing rod I’ve ever seen

Trip to Calexico with 6 friends in Eric’s bus.

 

 

Clothes for days.

Bit of a rodeo in the neighbourhood.

Horse made by an artist out of recycled metal.

One of our pets.

More of our pets.

We are now in Quartzsite for a week or two.  Big RV show coming up tomorrow.

Met up with our friend Denise who has been here a couple days ago.  She has a terrible cold and not feeling well, so she can’t go roaming around with us.

Will get pics of Q on next blog.
