Pilot Knob RV Park, Winterhaven CA  3/27-29/2014
We spent a couple of days at Pilot Knob RV Park, just across the Arizona border in Winterhaven CA.  We went into Los Algodones Mexico to pick up some medications  for us and for some of our friends and family (you never want to use the term "drugs" when going through customs leaving Mexico).  We just went into the first "purple" pharmacy we came to and then left--did no shopping this trip.

After a week at St David RV Park, going to a potluck meal, playing card bingo, and doing a lot of bicycle riding, we went for our yearly visit to my brother, David's, in Herford AZ.  We met up there with Larry and Elaine.  It is always fun seeing David.  We didn't see too much of his wife, Kari.  She was putting in some long hours at work. 
 
 
David took us for a ride up the mountains behind his house.  We had tried to go there in the past, but couldn't get too far because of the snow.  If you go too far down the other side, you end up in Mexico!  Terry opted to stay home because there wasn't too much room in David's little pickup, so just Larry, Elaine, Davis, and I went.
 
We went off-road exploring a little bit, but some places got a little scary, with me and Larry standing beside the warning sign.

 At the top of the mountain we were almost directly across from the big Army blimp that hangs out above David's house, watching tor illegal Mexicans trying to come across the border.

What a sight!  David's house is the lowest house just on the left of middle--if you get that!

With the longest zoom on my camera, you can see David's house and shop (on the right of his house) better.  His house is right in the middle, with the neighbor's solar system (a bad word at the Fisher house) behind it and between his and the neighbor's house.  It is kind of a fuzzy picture because of the zoom.

We all had a fun time--going to the flea market, having a barbeque in David's great patio area, the mountain ride, and lots of visiting.  Thanks, Dave, for all of your hospitality, again!
