Can You Call Them Chores?

Doug made an interesting discovery this morning. The spare tire in the Jeep desperately needed air. We didn't want to head into the desert without a spare tire, so off we went to Blythe. We found the tire store and K Mart as well as Ace Hardware. But we both need haircuts and there was not a barber or hair salon open on Mondays. I guess we'll be shaggy for a few more days.


When we got back to the park, we walked to the river edge to check out the boat launch and dock. The Colorado river seemed to be quite low. The ramp to the dock was almost vertical and closed.


That didn't keep Doug from dreaming about the catfish he could catch. There are pictures in the office of some of the fish that have been pulled from the river. The 50 - 60 pound catfish had him drooling.

We spent the rest of the afternoon alternating between laundry and visiting with our friends Dennis and Julie. And then the evening was spent reassembling the basement. The heat dried everything just as we had hoped and several items were even discarded. We wondered why we had kept them!

Tomorrow we will head for Quartzsite and the desert.
