| Fri. Dec. 11 2009 – Today we got up early and went to the Club House for breakfast. They started serving at 8am and that was when we got there. They served biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, coffee, juice and the cost was $3.50 for a full order and $2.50 for half order. We paid $6.00 for both of us to eat breakfast. No too bad and it was tasty. After that we went to the sales office and attended a seminar. We enjoyed talking with the saleslady but declined to purchase the membership. Just out of our money range right now. We came back to the motor home and picked up my purse and the camera and headed out to see the sights. Drove towards Parker Dam. My gosh there are lots and lots of RV parks along the Colorado River. On our way we say 7 burros along the side of the road, a roadrunner and lots of red rock. We got to Parker Dam and what a pretty site it is. It has 5 spillways and lots of concrete. It is the deepest dame built. The water isn’t deep, about 50 feet, but the dam goes down 300 feet or so. Talked to a security guard and Danny asked him all sorts of questions. It looked like a miniature of Chief Joseph Dam, where I grew up. Page 36 Off again to see more sights. We went thru a little town and then there was a Casino. The sign read “Blue Water Casino”. We decided to go in and sign up for the casino, play with their money and have lunch, if they serve it. Well, they did serve lunch so we ate the buffet. Since it is Friday they had fish, shrimp, rice, potatoes, gravy with everything to make a great salad and apple cobbler, lemon cake, white cake and chocolate cake. We ate our fill and boy were we full. Went back to the Casino and they gave us our $’s and we left. It was a little too smokey in there but it looked like a fun place to put a few coins. Next time. We drove into Parker, AZ to the WalMart to get Danny’ s fishing license stamped and buy a couple of Christmas presents. Well, we got the presents and forgot the stamp until we were out of town and drove across the Colorado River. We could have driven back but decided against it right now, we can do it tomorrow. Have to drive to Ehrenberg tomorrow and take care of a couple of things. When we started out it was so very cold and by the time we got back to the RV park it was really nice. The river is gorgous to see out of our front window. All in all it was a nice day and we weren’t in a hurry to get anywhere so actually we just mozied down the road. We only have 2 more nights here and then we are off again. Think we might meet up with some Camp Host friends of ours and do some dry camping – just 2 nights! I like the resort life!!! Goodnight from beautiful Emerald Cove Resort in California. Just a little information – even though it is California this area goes by Arizona time!!! Go figure.
