We are on our way. We left Needles this morning and are now staying in Lake Elizabeth. We are at an RV park right next to a golf course. Ed is in heaven and will play either Wednesday or Thursday.
We will leave here on Saturday to drive the short distance to Bakersfield to spend the weekend.
Ciera will be 15 on March 12th so we will see her on Sunday to celebrate.
Our plans are to drive up the coast and arrive in Tacoma Washington by March 30th. Michael's spring break is that week and we can spend some time with him. We will stay a few days in Northern California near the Redwoods and a couple of days in Oregon by the coast. It's been nice in Arizona these past couple of months, but Ed and I are really looking forward to seeing some trees and grass!
We know we will have to get out our warm clothes again though. We are just hoping we can avoid snow!
Will be posting pictures along the way.

What time is it???
We are staying at a CRA park .. Northshore RV Park. The park is actually in Needles, California but the park operates on Arizona time. Why? They don't have any explaination other than "That's the way it's always been."
Today was supposed to be our day of rest, we were planning on enjoying the day watching a movie on pay-per-view and having a nice spagetti dinner. Oh, how easy that chalk blows away!! Ed got up this morning and turned on the coffee pot and 20 minutes later..NO COFFEE!!
So, there went our day. We started out in search of another coffee maker.
We started out at 9:00am this morning, first went into Needles to pick up our mail. Arrived there at about 9:20am. They weren't open yet, but they were supposed to open at 9:00! Why weren't they open? It's that time thing again. Going into Needles..Pacific time..it was really only 8:20!! So we went to Denny's for breakfast. I needed some coffee!!
After breakfast, everything seemed to go smoother. We found the coffee maker we needed. Not really so simple since we needed a Black and Decker space saver. But we located one and Ed is pulling his hair out trying to install it now.
I have the spagetti started but the movie will have to wait till another time. Maybe tomorrow!!
Oh yeah, and that time thing..after Sunday it won't matter. Arizona doesn't go on Daylight Savings Time!!

Back in Needles
We left Lake Havasu on Saturday and arrived in Needles. Sure seems good to be back in Verizon Territory. Weather here has been wonderful..in the 80's the last couple of days, however, we are expecting it to get cooler later in the week. Ed is planning to play golf tomorrow.
Northshore RV park is another in our Colorado River Adventures group. The park is sure more crowded than it was in November when we were here last. We are scheduled to leave here on Saturday.
We are going to go up to Tacoma, Washington to see Ed's daughters who live up there. We don't know which route we are going to take yet. We have a couple of weeks to get there so we can really go slow and enjoy the ride. We are growing tired of dirt, gravel and cactus. While picturesque in there own way, we are parcel to grass and trees.
More later on our route...
