weekend saw more of our friends arrive prior to heading out to the race in Baker. Jack & Jane Dale pulled in on Friday and Lew & Dottie Anderson arrived on Sunday. In addition some of the Dale's kids came over for the weekend to play on the river. We spent a lot of time going out to eat with all these folks including at the Saltgrass Steakhouse in the 
Golden Nugget Hotel/Casino on Saturday night. The guys also attended a car show that was being held at the Tropicana Hotel featuring 1955, 56 and 57 Chevy cars and pickups. They also had a version of the n2a (for no two alike) versions of the 789. This is a new car, built on a Corvette frame, using the front of a 1957 Chevy, the center of a 1958 and the rear of a 1959. This is a very unique vehicle. This car is titled as a 2007 N2A 789. When our friends, Don & Vicki Leith, arrived here last Wednesday they were ex
periencing trouble with the engine in their motor home. They called all the necessary repair facilities and the emergency roadside assistance to arrange for the coach to be towed to
a facility in Kingman first thing Monday. In the meantime they also experienced problems with their Corvette, which they had brought with them in a trailer. On Thursday we had taken the Vette to the local Chevy dealer in Bullhead City for repairs but the part that was replaced came disconnected over the weekend causing a loss of steering. So this mo
rning they had two tow trucks, one for the Vette and one for the coach. Fortunately the the Vette was a quick fix and Don was back before the driver had completed hooking up the motor home. Around 11:00 they were all headed out for Kingman. Hopefully the motor home problem will not be major and they will return back to the RV Park here in Laughlin very quickly. Although they took Don's dog, Tess, with them we are cat sitting with Vicki's cat, Furby. Furby has settled in and he and Buddy Joe have decided to coexist if not actually become friends.

Oh, look at that cute kitty sitting on the dash! He looks right at home! :-) Thanks for taking good care of him for me! Jack Dale stuck his head/camera out his window as the tow truck came down the front row! That was pretty funny! You have to admit we were quite the entertainment at the RV park this morning!
Good thing the dog and the cat decided on a peaceful co-existence. If not, it could have been ...interesting... in your RV!
We are really sorry to hear about all of Vicki and Don's problems - thought "Vacations" were supposed to be fun! Hopefully all that is over now and you all can get back to enjoying the South West. We miss being with you all - have fun and safe travels!
