Thursday June 2nd we left Tempe where the temps were getting to 100+ and headed for the Colorado River where the temps were only 90+ (at least for a few days). After a 186 mile drive under beautiful blue skies we arrived at the Havasu Springs RV Resort on Lake Havasu.

We had been invited to spend three nights at the resort for free for only listening to a sales pitch, but that ain't all, we also received a very nice Netbook computer and $100 of Shell gasoline, who could resist?
Havasu Springs Resort has been around for a while but was recently bought by the Colorado River Adventures (CRA) Group who have about eight more resorts mostly along the Colorado River between California and Arizona. The CRA group have big plans to upgrade the resort to their standards which sound great but somehow we didn't buy just yet; sorry, Jeff!
So, with no pool to lay around and cool off, but with excellent Wi-Fi and great power for our A/C units we spent a lot of time hanging out in the motorhome, sure made a difference having all the slideouts for "lebensraum". Their full service restaurant over-looking the marina offered a Friday night special of all the fish you can eat prepared in any of three different ways for only $9.95 and had a live piano/singer to entertain while dining. Pretty tough life!
It is amazing how many people here have beautiful power boats and hot golf carts all with super fancy paint jobs. This recession is really terrible but you certainly wouldn't know it around here.

Sunday we will be off to Las Vegas where our route will take us over the fantastic new bridge bypassing the Hoover Dam, with any luck we may get some good pictures of the dam from the bridge, at least I hope so.
So much for this first effort of the year, see y'all down the road! Bye!
