2017...Our summer journey begins

     We begin on May 29th, 2017 and for the first time since taking these journeys we head west out of town rather than towards the east.  We're going to hate missing the Anderson and the Ackelson reunions this year, but after last years marathon of 9000 miles and covering from the Midwest to the South, to the Southeast and back to the Midwest before finally heading home, we're sticking to the West.  As members of Colorado Rivers Adventures RV resorts our first few weeks will be cost free for the camping with full-hookups and many great services.  First stop Havasu Springs RV Resort for a week...........but dude we're starting off in the summer heat of Arizona!  Havasu Springs is a pretty nice facility with a very challenging executive golf course (made perfect for mountain goats though), it's a nine hole "walking only" course up and down very steep hills.  Maybe I'll attach a picture of a couple of the holes, very picturesque for sure.  From here it's into California and a place called Cherry Valley RV resort for another week or so of free camping through the CRA club.
     As you may or may not remember, Bev does do a little work in the mornings while on these journeys and internet/WiFi is a must for her.............not much here and that's the only downfall.  Today we've drove into Parker, AZ. to spend some time in the library to take care of her work and my blogging and catching up on FB etc.  As you might imagine, a very nice quiet place to get all these things done.
     It's times like this that I/we can't imagine the way it was before internet and all the gadgets we depend so much on today.  Some of you will be happy that I can't be on FB very often this first week, even though I believe I've toned down the political crap by a lot and still trying to refrain for the most part.  Anyway, this is the first installment of my blog for this journey of 2017 and I hope whomever checks them out over the next 3-4 months enjoy reading about our travels and adventures.
