Parker Dam

We haven't been doing much of anything the past few days. We went into Parker to pick up our mail on Tuesday. Ed also found out why our left blinker did not work when we tow the car. There was a big worn spot on the electrical cable that goes from the motorhome to the car. Bought a new cable and now it works!!

Today we took a drive to Lake Havasu City. We needed to go the Walmart to pick up our prescription refills. We decided we would go the short way over the Parker Dam.



The road across this dam is very narrow. You can't go over it in a motorhome. Big trucks can't go over it. The bridge is closed to all traffic from 11pm til 5am.

Parker Dam is actually the third dam along the Colorado River. This dam actually forms the beginning of Lake Havasu. There is another dam in Laughlin, Nevada called Davis Dam. It forms Lake Mohave. And of course, the big one Hoover Dam is near Las Vegas and forms Lake Mead.

The wind here has been bad. We haven't been able to use our awning. We are hoping it dies down. Ed wants to play golf but he won't even try to play in this wind.

Tonight is Bingo night! Such excitement!!
