The stock market has really taken a hit so far this year. We are down quite a bit of money. I get a kick out of people that say aren’t you going to get out of the stock market because stocks are going down? I feel like replying, aren’t you going to sell your house because the value has gone down? Well the last two days have been good for our stocks. We have recouped some of the value. I just wish they would admit we are in a recession so we can start the recovery. It’s like an alcoholic, you are not going to recover until you admit you are one. Our property value here at Havasu RV Resort has not dropped, it has leveled out right now because people are just not buying like they have but the values haven’t dropped. Let’s face it, people who can afford several hundred thousand dollars for an RV are not hurting in the financial area.
This weekend they are having an open house here at the resort to celebrate the opening of phase 3. Paul Everet has brought in some $700,000 RVs from Laughlin Nevada and set them up on some lots for sale. I bet one could get a really good package deal. There is going to be food and other goodies. We won’t have far to go to partake.
Susan has just added another race to our NASCAR schedule. Looks like we will be heading up to Wine Country in California for the road course at Infineon Raceway near Napa. We haven’t been to this one yet so it should be a fun new experience.
There are literally RVs as far as the eye can see from I-10. Why do they all head for Quartzsite? This time of year Quartzsite hosts probably the biggest flee market and RV show in the US. They also host a gem & mineral show, antique show, and car show. If you can’t find it in Quartzsite, it probably doesn’t exist. This is the second time we visited Quartzsite and it appears the population and vendors are a bit low, most likely due to the economy and price of fuel. Still, we spent the whole day there and didn’t even scratch the surface.
This is a photo of a guy that does wood burning with a magnifying glass. I guess he doesn’t work on cloudy days. It was a great day though.We have been so busy lately that I have forgotten to update the website. We have lots of friends here in Havasu and have been visiting and doing a lot with them. I have hardly found time to do my chores on the motorhome. Today I did get all the wheels polished. Thank goodness for the Power Ball I got as a Christmas present a while back. It is still a chore but saved me hours of rubbing on the wheels.
Although the weather is still cool here in Lake Havasu, we have had some nice days. It’s only going to get better from here on out.
We are planning on heading to Quartzite in a couple of weeks. We won’t be taking the motorhome though. We are riding out with some friends for the day. A couple of years ago Susan and I spent a week in Quartzite. It takes a couple of days to see everything there.
Susan spotted this golf cart here in the Resort right away. She just had to take a picture of it. Good thing they want too much for it or she would be hounding me to buy it to add to her ever growing NASCAR collection.
We took a cruise through the channel and under the London Bridge. As you may know, this is the real original London Bridge brought over here from London England. It was shipped through the Panama cannel and trucked from Long Beach California then assembled brick by brick on a peninsula. After assembley, the channel was dug under the bridge allowing the water from Lake Havasu to flow underneath. This turned the peninsula into an island.
