Winter in Parker

Well here we are at out new home for the winter.  Pirates Den RV Park in Parker, AZ.
Sunshine and blue sky for most days. Lee and I were able to ride our bikes and kayak lots.

 Can you believe that even in Jan. the big boats were out on the water trying to get some
sun.
 We couldn't miss the Parker 425.  There were lots of  big and little trucks traveling out
in the desert. Lots of wind this year and needless to say dust!

 This was our spot on the Colorado River.  Our friends John and Ruth let us borrow
their kayak for the winter. I was kayaking  in the River in Jan.  We had such nice days
even up  to the 80 degree mark.
 The sunsets were  really pretty.  We didn't have a cabana this year but our neighbors were
nice enough to let us use theirs when we wanted.
Lee, Dorthy and Gary did the desert walk out to the old desert bar and had a great time.
I missed this year because I was on my way back to Portland to help out with my folks.

 This is a picture from one of the hikes we took with our friends Myron and Susie. You
can see the river below.  It is a very hilly surrounding us but makes for wonderful hikes.

 As you can see below we were having snow today March 31,2012 ! I could have been
an April fools joke!  We are getting winter at home now.  We had a good winter down
in AZ and look forward to next year already.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Our little grandsons, Dane and Porter
turned 4years old this month. We are having a family gathering in April and I will
post more pictures then.  Bye for now.
