Last night we dined on the deck of the Black Pearl Restaurant here in the Pirate's Den RV Park. Their special was prime rib so that's what we had - and it was delicious. Plus the helpings were very large so we have plenty left over for another meal.

There were many speed boats on the river which reminded us how appreciative we are that no boat motors are allowed on our stretch of the Henry's Fork.

They have had a lot of fun with the pirate theme. This gentleman is seated on a treasure chest on top of three rum barrels.

Next door to the restaurant is the outdoor Thirsty Pirate Bar. We have yet to partake but we have plenty of time to visit for a cold refreshment some hot afternoon.

This morning was overcast and we decided to take a loop drive over to the California side of the Colorado River and down through the town of Parker, AZ. We drove up-river to the Parker Dam which impounds the water in Lake Havasu.

On the California-side of the river there are warning signs that wild burros may be on the highway. We came across a few groups. This guy started approaching our truck perhaps looking for a handout.

In Parker we checked out a few of the amenities. Mainly the location and size of a laundromat (the one here in the RV park only has four washers and dryers and we fill up more when we finally get around to washing our dirty clothes), and the grocery store (Safeway seems to be our only choice - but they have a good selection of beer and wine).

This afternoon we will probably chill-out and watch some Olympics (and taste a few of those beers). Go USA!



And Shirley - thanks for the birthday card!!!!! It made us laugh!!!
