Colorado River Trip
























































Sunday it rained and rained but Monday was beautiful with sunny skies. Our new friends, Captain Happy Jack and his first mate Bev, invited us to ride down the Colorado River on their pontoon boat. The water was clear enough to see fish swimming below us. It was fun to watch the Coots walk on water but my favorite duck is the beautiful Mallard.

Captain Happy Jack stopped at the Roadrunner restaurant and tied the boat to the restaurant dock as we ate tacos made with left over Sunday prime beef.

We slowly rode through the canals between the expensive homes. A man waved at us. Happy Jack called to him. “I like your wife.” “Yah,” the man answered. “She doesn’t talk back, either.”

We could see our RV parked in the second row as we returned to the campground.

Looks like a fun ride! Reminds us of a trip we took with friends on Bull Shoals Lake in Missouri. Our friends invited us along, he captained the trip. Unfortunately, on the way back, he got lost in the many arms and directions of the laks. I had to embarass him by taking the helm -- and the map -- and getting us safely back to the proper marina. I guess your Captain Happy Jack knew his way around.
