A Quick Trip Back To Fort Mohave, AZ , Quartzsite, AZ - January 22, 2015

On the last day of our rally, new officers for next year were voted for. Ta Da! I am the new Western VP for the Escapees Christian Fellowship CBOF. I think I may keep busy in the year to come. I've got rallies and get togethers to plan.

Then on Saturday the 17th, we packed up, headed into town to the RV Pit Stop to dump our tanks. We dumped our tanks for $15.00 and did not take on any fresh water. We figured that with only 140 miles to go, to Fort Mohave, we can get water at Donna's brother Gene's house.

We made this trip because our new cat, Tinklebell, has an appointment at the vet to get spayed. And we also would have the opportunity to see how Gene was doing and to say our goodbyes for the year.

We wheeled into the Avi Casino, a good boondocking location where we had stayed at several times, and decided to do the first 3 days there.


We met Mitch and Gene over at the Colorado Belle Casino and watched the Seahawks game on their big screens. What a good game! Go Hawks!

Then we went to Gene's and filled two 7 gallon water containers along with six gallon jugs. And he is doing well (since losing his wife).

Now getting the water into our rig was a bit of a chore. Here is some pics of the task.






I think I will look for a cheap 12 volt water pump at the big tent in Q when we get back.

Then for three more days, we decided to move over to the RAT (4 miles)

and enjoy some hookups for a little bit before our 26 day boondocking stretch planned in Q starting next Friday.

We took Tinkerbell to the vet and they got her fixed up. She is doing good.

We have had Gene & Mitch over to our place for dinner. And we watched the classic movie "RV". Mitch hadn't seen it and he really enjoyed it. We also ate at their house one day. Today is the last day here. We head back to Q tomorrow. Here is Gene and Mitch.


Donna and Gene.

And Gene and I too.

Looking forward to getting back to the desert.

  1. Well congratulations on the VP job! We like the idea of a water pump for that purpose too after wanting to shred the water thief! Looks like fun is on the way!

  2. This desert life is pretty neat! And the price is right too!
