Continuing on

When we finally got the motorhome fixed and went on our way, we headed toward Parhump Nevada. On our way we stopped by and spent a few days with some friends we met at Redfish last summer. Wayne and Jo were staying in a campground by Kingman Arizona. We missed a turn off and had to turn around. While we were stopped and Brent was acessing the best way to do that I noticed this in the sky and took these pictures.

We had a nice visit with them and a nice dinner. We hope to see some more of them in January at Quartsite.
We then headed to Parhump. Well in spite of going there before we got a little lost on the freeway trying to not go through Las Vegas, so we turned on gabby (that's what we call our GPS) she got us back on track and we made it well before dark. While we were there we visited the casinos of course. They weren't real good to us, but one night they did draw my name out of the barrel and I got to pick for a chance at $5,000. I wish I could say I drew that one out but not, I did get $100 though. So goes the life in gambling huh. We also spent some time with Brents cousin Janet and heher husband Jerry. It was Janets birthday while we were there so we got to share that with them. The weather was not that great while we were there, so no swimming or hot tubbing. We really wanted to go golfing again too, but mother nature didn't cooperate. We didn't do much more site seeing as we'd been to "Death Valley" the year before. We just shopped and visited and relaxed. No pictures to post either from this part of the trip.
When we left there we headed to met up with Garth and Bev in Palm Springs. We decided not to go via the freeway and took the side roads through the desert. It was quite interesting. We drove right through a large dry lake bed. It looked like you could be on the moon. There was a few small towns now and then but best of all NO TRAFFIC! We had one night out before we could check in at Desert Hots Springs resort so we stayed in Joshua Tree National Park in the neatest campground. You felt like you were in the flintstones days. Here's some pictures.
