Saturday November 11, 2023 Visiting Jake

Is that a fly?  Get it!  I need a nap.

My morning walk took me into the desert near Lynn’s house.  In the cool of the fall, it is a great walk. There are several trails, it is a nature preserve with mesquite, cacti and rocks.  But alas, gotta get back.

Lynn made us a breakfast and then we headed to the rehab facility to visit Jake.  He recognized us and his wit and sarcasm are totally intact.  We participated in his rehab exercises.  They were fun, so why not.  It is a very nice facility.  Hopefully, Jake will be home for Thanksgiving.  Lots of family coming in for him. 

After our visit, Lynn brought us back for us to hit the road.  Always good to visit friends.

We got Artee ready, and hit the road.  The GPS is on, but I did the navigation.  We navigated over to Hwy. 93, which is a diagonal north to Kingman via Wickenburg.  The sassy saguaros entertain us, then the Joshua trees… then the boring dull desert.  We decided to head to Laughlin for the night.

As we pulled into Laughlin, we hit traffic.  Really??? Oh… the traffic light is out.  Ok… wait… that light is out too.  Hey, all lights are out.  This ought to be fun…  We pulled into the Riverside RV park, where they put is in overflow parking (which I really like).  We hooked up assuming the electricity will come on at some point, and it did.

We headed over to the casinos, had dinner, and won $22 between the two of us!  Yay!  Life changing!
