Fun in the Sun





















While Terry was playing in the snow, I was showing my daughter and granddaughter sunny areas along the Colorado River where our RV is located.

We explored the CA side looking for wild burros but didn’t see them in the usual spots along Highway 62 so we traveled on to Black Meadow RV Park where we saw them on the golf course. Kari fed carrots to these wild donkeys so they were attracted to her. She even petted them. I never got that close. These are descendents of donkeys that the miners used when they were seeking AZ/CA gold.

Karol and Kari didn’t go 4-wheeling on the sand dunes but Karol took a photo to show her son Ryan. We rode over the Parker Dam, which is the deepest dam in the US and maybe the deepest in the world. They saw more than one oasis. The London Bridge was the attraction in Lake Havasu City. But the activity they most enjoyed was the ride down the Colorado River with Captain Jack and his first mate Bev. My friend Marilyn and Pastor Bill also came with us. We stopped and moored up for breakfast and then rode into the canals where the rich and famous live. Lucy Arnez from "I Love Lucy" lived in the white house on the hill in the photo on the top of the page.
