Don and Connie Sarver Visit

This past week has brought Don and Connie Sarver to our Augie's RV Park to visit. They have been with family in Albuquerque, NM, and are on their way to Pahrump , NV to visit one of Connie's high school classmates.

We have done quite a bit besides catching up and visiting. We drove through Ajo, AZ, to drive through Organ Pipe National Monument. Beautiful setting, and wonderful views of the mountains and cactus fields. We had lunch at one of the ramadas roofed with ocotillo stalks.

Friday Don and I took an ATV ride with several others from the park. It was quite a rugged ride, led by Gila Bend native Ron Martin. Don drove the whole trip and did a masterful job at it. We drove to Red Rock Canyon again, though this time we drove down into the red sandstone wash...it was touch and go for a while, but Don pulled it through. In the wash are several Native American petroglyphs, carved into the 'soft' sand stone walls of the gully.

That night the Park celebrated February birthdays with a baked potato bar and lemon cake dessert. The taters were excellent, huge, and anything you might have wanted to load on them was available.

Today the four of us went out with Larry and Evelyn Rahmig. Don and Connie drove the borrowed Polaris 2-up of Bob and Mary Jo's. We had a very nice ride, to the cross, the red tank well, and the extinct gas station on old highway 80. Cloudy, but not too cool, until a ferocious wind kicked up a bit over half way through the ride.
