... noch was davon habt"

Naja, nach dem Grand Canyon ging es dann in unser schönes Auto nach Blythe. Knapp 5 Stunden Fahrt durch die Wüste.

In Blythe haben wir uns dann ein Hotel gesucht und uns danach in den Pool begeben :-) Bei 41 Grad war das auch bitter nötig. Selbst um 20 Uhr hatte es noch 39 Grad.

We got up as early as we could on Tuesday morning as we had to pick the hire car up between 9 and 10am from the car hire company. More hassle! We decided to take a taxi to the car hire company which was just round the block but too far to walk.

We are still not sure whether this was some sort of sense of humour or he just decided he wanted the money ...

Today started early for us because of signing up for a "Ring Toss" competition. Although, I did sleep until 7:15 am. That is a first for this whole vacation! The RV was pretty warm this morning and I thought we had had a warm night. NOT! We both forgot to turn off the heater! Morgan and Annie enjoyed a warm sleep for the first time in too many days. Dale ran off to coffee and donuts at 8. I ambled over around 9 to get ready to toss those rings ...

... mint and unwrap it and eat it with a knife and fork while wearing these huge, bulky gloves. There were 11 people on each team and the timing was for the whole team. We won that round. Our next event was the disc throw using plastic plates. Of course, Dale and I got a good ribbing because we won the cow pie toss at the September Rally - me the year before and Dale two times in a row. They added up the distances for ...

... the hell are they getting the money." I told her I was from Oregon down here to enjoy her sunshine. She had lived in my hometown, Klamath Falls, and her daughter still lived there. It is a very small world we live in. We came home after shopping, put stuff away, went for one last swim and one last night of Pokeno. Bee Bee brought me a fan from Thailand. She also gave us a ...

AFTER FLIGHTS FROM DOUBLE EAGLE AT ABQ, AND STOP FOR FUEL IN WINSLOW, I STOPPED FOR A QUICK GAS STOP AT BLYTHE CA WHERE IT WAS 100 DEGREES.

... were situated on two low mesas or terraces. The intaglios are one of the few unsolved mysteries of modern archaeology. The mesas are strewn with a dark gravel surface where the sand and soil particles have been washed away. What is left is a landscape of small, dark stones which form a kind of "desert pavement". The intaglios were formed by removing the "desert pavement", exposing the lighter soil underneath. The local Mohave and Quechan tribes say the human ...
