Instead of driving home to Lake Havasu, we decided to take a slight detour, and stop in Quartzsite for the night. Partly because our friends Jim & Megan Stebbins were still there, and there were a couple of things that we both wanted to purchase before the flea markets started shutting down. I hadn't driven through Phoenix in awhile, so decided to do so for a change of scenery, rather than taking the I8/Hwy 85 loop around the metro area. Big mistake! On the west side, construction (yes, on a Sunday), had the 5 westbound lanes down to one lane. We poked along, wasting about a half hour before getting through the construction area.Sami enjoys her usual spot on the motor home dash, so as not to miss any of the action. Whenever we are in stop & go mode, the dash is her preferred choice. When we got back up to freeway speeds, she returned to her normal traveling place on the sofa. When we're traveling, Gracie stays either in her bed under the table, or in the recliner. Both critters are great travelers, sleeping most of the time.
We arrived where Jim and Megan were parked, and had a short visit before piling into the truck, and heading into town. We got what we needed, and spent the rest of the evening catching up with the latest happenings. After a dinner of Patty's chili, and Megan's salad, we said good night, and watched a little TV before going to bed. This morning, we'll head north on Hwy 95, for the short drive home. We'll be home for about 2 weeks, then drive back to Tucson for our annual 10 day stint of work at the Tucson Rodeo.
