Today more of this amazing weather. Out and about for a nice walkabout the park at 7:30 as the sun rose over the river. Then back home we decided to take a drive up to the
Parker Dam enjoying the scenery along the way .
 |
| 34.7 miles today |
As we approached the dam got a few pictures, then across it and south on 95 to Parker, A road we have driven many times before.

From here our plan was to stop by the Bluewater Casino and see some of the boats for the Drag races here this weekend. The Drag Boat Races at Blue Water Casino in Parker Arizona. We could hear them roaring up the river and drove around and down the boat launch ramp.
Here we got lucky just by chance. We can get a first hand look at these amazing boats as they are being launched and heading to the starting line not far from us.
 |
| one of many beautiful boats |
 |
the gas ones move to the starting line under their own power usually,
the Highpower fuel dragsters get towed. |
 |
| the roar of their thousands of horsepower is amazing |
Gonna watch this one looks like it could be amazing. And was!

More boats coming in non stop, so nice to see them on land and in the water.

Ok, Suzie enjoyed a bit of this with me and I got my fix, just wanted to see these guys in the water and see a few runs, listen to the power and it was very good, and it was free, love free !
From here a quick stop at Walmart and Beals outlet for Suzie to check things out nothing she saw ( a very quick in and out shopper) and back home by 11 am.
Just in time for a light lunch then I can get a few walkabouts this afternoon before it it gets to warm.
 |
| nice beach on the north side of the park too |
Then about 2 pm we headed to the pool, I bribed Suzie if she sat with me while I swam I would buy her an ice cream here by the pool. Not hard to do, nice tables by the pool an out of the wind, very warm pool and spa for me. So we relaxed a while I dried off and grabbed a couple of cones from the bar only $1;75 each, and was another very nice treat (we having too many treats here I think!).
 |
| love the quiet pool here |
 |
| relaxing by the pool she is |
 |
these are small?
melting quickly in this warm weather |
 |
| a few dogs relaxing by the pool in the shade |
Back home now more reading time under the palm trees.
Now at 5 pm we have a fish fry right here at the clubhouse only $5.99 each so we have to check it out.
 |
| this was another wonderful meal we had here and a great price as well. |
 |
| we got here early before the clubhouse gets too busy |
Now no supper to make and no dishes to do we relaxed a bit more outside, Then just after 6 Pm they have Karaoke at theTiki bar right close to us. What the heck we can check that out too. Busy spot but we got a seat in the corner, and enjoyed some decent singers for a while. We had one dance with a song by Patsy Cline (Crazy), as we headed back home.
Now just enjoying more of this weather here outside at 7:30pm and still 70 F (21C) no complaints here thats for sure. We can still enjoy the songs right here from our site as long as we are outside. We have the perfect campsite here in this park.
Hope y'all had a great day and want to thank you for dropping on by again. Life is good every day when we are upright and breathing.
