Westward Ho--Spring 2010--Day 30

Laundry chores, friends arrive and a boat ride. Yesterday was a day for doing chores, mainly the laundry. First we decided to explore along the Colorado River and some of the casino's we had not been in. This was mainly to hit their gift shops looking for logo golf balls. Some years ago a cousin got me interested in collecting logo golf balls so now I seek them out with logo's from places we have visited. We did a lot of walking and was able to score two, one from the Edgewater Hotel/Casino and one from Aquarius Hotel/Casino. In the afternoon Joanne bundled up all the laundry into two large baskets and we headed off to the RV Park laundry facility. This endeavor took most of the afternoon.

Toward the evening Jo was getting ready to fix dinner when we received a call from one of the couples we were to meet up with here. They originally were not due in until Friday but were ahead of schedule, were refueling in Kingman and would be at the RV Park within the hour. The food went back into the fridge and we waited for Don & Vicki Leith to drive in and then went to dinner at the Edgewater Casino buffet. We will spend the next few days with these transplanted Californians, who now live in Arkansas, while waiting for two other couples to arrive.

This morning was spent lining up repair schedules for the Leith's motor home and their car. The car is now at the Chevy dealer and the motor home will be taken to Kingman on Monday for repairs. It seems there is always something on these rolling houses to be fixed. After lunch at the In-and-Out Burger we headed over to the Riverside Hotel to take their boat ride up and down the Colorado River. This was about an hour and one-half tour that went all the way north to the Davis Dam and then back down to the south end of Casino Row. It was a fun time with an interesting narration about the City of Laughlin and the area.
