We spent a week in Yuma, AZ so Larry could get new glasses and get his teeth fixed. The dentist in Apache Junction gave him an estimate of $6900 to have them fixed and he spent $170 in Algodones, Mexico, some difference! We spent four nights in a Yuma casino parking lot and three nights on a 'tour' of another campground. We had a friend stop by unexpectedly on Mon. while we were in Yuma and had a nice visit with him. It is always nice to see folks we have met along the way.

We bought a 1971 VW Super Beetle in preparation for selling our VX which we did and delivered it to Phoenix Sat. Feb 27 to a fellow from Colorado Springs, CO. We went in early to do a few errands and had nice visits with both kids and their spouses. The VW was not what the fellow who sold it to us said it was, so Larry has been working hard to get it into safe running condition. It is amazing how many folks stop to look at it and talk about the VW they used to have! We also used to have VW's, two and a dune buggy so it is taking us back a few years. It is an in-between car for now, at least that is the plan unless God changes our minds.

We have been two weeks at Colorado River Oasis located across the Colorado River from Blythe, CA. We quickly found that we are basically out in the middle of the desert as neither Ehrenberg or Blythe have much to offer but we have enjoyed our time here anyway. We went to a Santos concert at the Calvary Chapel in Blythe and enjoyed it very much.

We will be moving even farther out into the desert for two weeks so will make a run to Blythe (all of 5 miles) to the grocery to stock up before we head out on Thurs.
