FEBRUARY 2004

We sold our fifth wheel this month! A nice couple from California, Paul and Joan Schuh, drove over on the 5th, checked out the rig, and bought it. We took them to lunch at Taco Mio, and then, since they have a short bed truck, and a part needed to be installed on the fifth wheel king pin prior to them being able to pull it, we pulled the fifth wheel up to Paul's brother's place in Lake Havasu City. Now we really are stuck here until we get our Lazy Daze! Now that we had the fifth wheel sold, we could concentrate on selling the Chevy.

During the month, we took a day trip into Phoenix to do shopping, stopping at Tomahawk Truck Stop for breakfast. Earl bought shoes at Famous Footwear, we got more Noni juice at Vitamin World, and went shopping at Costco. We also had lunch at Macayos with George Bruzenak (he's spending some time at Cotton Lane RV Resort).

One day we drove out to Palm Canyon, and hiked up into the canyon to see the palm trees that grow there in sheltered canyons. These palm trees are probably remnants from an era when this area was wetter and cooler than at the present time. Though few in number (less than 100), these trees, plus probably one or two other groves around the state, are the only native palms in Arizona. Palm Canyon is part of the larger Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.

Earl also got a cortisone shot in his shoulder which has been hurting him. He'd had one when we spent the 2001/2002 winter in Texas, but I guess it'd worn off.
