Getting ready to hit the road

 We're almost ready to hit the road for the summer. We've made all our reservations for the trip. The first thing we have to do is head to South Dakota to get our driver license renewed. Mine expires on April 28th. We're taking 2 weeks to get there. I hope we don't run into any SNOW. We had to get eye exams to get the license because we're over 65 years old. But I can see fine! One park we're going to is opening on the day we get there. That's how early we're going. We're looking forward to our trip. We're going to some new places and some good old favorites.

My golf partner, Clarence got a hole in one! It was a 180 yard shot that just went in the hole. We looked behind the green first, but it was in the hole. What a great shot!

We got the motorhome washed and waxed for $250. Arizona Detail Kings do a great job.

We went downtown to Military appreciation day. This photo is of our friend Barney, who was a navy diver and these are all the ships he was on. He has a lot of good stories.


 We have a Marine Corp air base here in Yuma. So we get such good air shows sometimes.

Peggy and I made our last trip over to Mexico to stock up on cheap drugs before we leave. Oh, and you have to get some lunch over there too.
We picked up some Tequila for Barney on the way back.
You're allowed one liquor purchase per month. 

We found a new place, High Tanks Brewing Company. It's about 3 miles out in the desert in Wellton, AZ. 15 miles from our place. The beer was good. Peggy started with Daphne's Date Ale. I had the Bomb Ranger Blonde Ale. Both were good. It's on a huge Date tree farm. They have food and a stage with live music playing. We're going back on Friday to have lunch and maybe a beer or two.  The only thing that's bad is you have to drive down a dirt road for a couple of miles. It's close to the Barry Goldwater Bombing Range so a lot of off road vehicles come there. It's a good place to stop and take a break. They also have a place in a plaza in Wellton. So we had to go and check it out too. We had the Double Date Ale there and it was good too. They have a great website https://hightanks.com/

Having fun at Loud Mouth Bingo. Peggy, Barney, Mike, Becky and me.

I don't think Katie is ready to go on the trip. 
She loves this lot here in Yuma.


Live Happy and Always Go Big.
