We are at Emerald Cove Resort with friends from the Alfa, Roadrunners group that we met in Tucson 2 years ago - a mini rally - nice to see everyone again and hear about their travels. Like our Texas Boomer group it is an eating group that likes to RV!
We drove 5 miles out into the desert, through the Buckskin Mountains, yesterday to the Nellie E. Saloon-Desert Bar. What a unique place! It is built on land that was an old copper mining camp and is totally solar powered. The owners live nearby in their solar powered house. The bar is only open on week-ends from Labor Day through Memorial Day from "high noon to sunset." It started out as a small hut "oasis" with cold beer for the dirt bikers and ATV'ers but has gradually grown to multi-levels with all the add ons. There is even the facade of a church - they actually have weddings there! A fun place! Then we came home, had happy hour and went to the $6.99 steak dinner/Halloween dance at the clubhouse. Our waistlines and livers won't tolerate much more time with this group!
We are takng a pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River this afternoon - a final potluck this evening and then we are heading for San Antonio on Monday morning.
Our friends, Bill and Sheila from Canada, are similar to us - Bill just went back to work full time for a year. Only he is in Calgary in an apartment and she is in Palm Springs in their motorhome. She says they made him an offer SHE couldn't pass up!!!
