      Just more of this amazing winter weather, on the Colorado River in Earp California. After the early morning coffees and computing I got myself and nice walkabout as the sun was rising , my favourite time of the day.
     At 7 am I took some turkey bones from the freezer and fill a pot of water to make a nice soup stock.
south end of the resort by the cove
sunrise across the river
looking north along 1/2 of the mile long beach
      Another walkabout around the park while my soup stock is doing it's thing. So many interesting things to see around this park .
love this old trailer, a rental it looks like
shuffleboard courts
pickle ball
nice wide roads here lotsa room
kids club
nice playground
     Then a bit later I added to the turkey soup stock veggies, spices and some egg noodles. We will enjoy quite a few lunches from this and make more freezer room as well.
soup about done
this is one tastylunch
      After lunch a quick trip to the store for a few things and explores some trails on the way back, just because I could and were passable with our car.
I do like to explore when I can
then to relax in the shade reading for a bit
        Just after 2 pm  I checked the pool and not too busy so we wandered on over, I going for a swim, Not Suzie though, She can sit by the pool and read some more.
me in the pool, no hat, no vest !
Suzie enjoying reading by the pool
      Then before we knew it was 3 pm. Happy hour by the pool at the Tiki bar. So we blew the budget, beer only a dollar and popcorn a dollar as well.  Why not? And the popcorn refills are free until 6 pm.
 nice treat for 3 bucks by the pool
Tiki bar
       Shortly after 3:30 we decided to head on home.  But stopped and chatted with a very nice couple from Washington for a while.
Ray and Faye what a super friendly couple
maybe see more of them before they leave
         Now back home more reading time for a while in the shade, before whipping  up supper.
nice reading in the shade of the palm trees
         Supper tonight a couple of smoked pork chops we picked up in Quartzsite, and some grilled asparagus on our Weber Q.
maybe 10 minutes on the Q and done
so tasty and tender
added to our salad sure did the trick today
        Just as we were done managed to get a shot of a nice sunset right here in the park, From behind our coach down the road.
not  a bad sunset, but much better in the desert
       That was it for another fun day relaxing in this very nice campground and I even got in the pool and hot tub as well. Pool was very warm and the hot tub hot ! Just the way I like it.
       Now here we are again still out side reading at 8 pm in shorts, and a very comfortable 66 f (18C), gonna wrap up thes posting and soon head inside for the night, Soon be morning and time to start all over again.
      Just wanna say thanks for stopping on by and as usual hope you enjoyed your day as well.

  4. I love the top two pictures of the river. It is so calm it's hard to believe it is the mighty Colorado.
    You could get to like that resort camping. Be careful!
    We drove down the highway from Parker Dam to Parker today (on the CA side) and waved as we went by your resort. That was about 1:30 or so.

  9. The first two pictures, early morning on the Colorado River and the sunrise, make it look so peaceful. Sounds like a really nice place to be parked. Dinner looked pretty good, also.
