Living the Good Life on the Banks of the Colorado River

We have been having such a good time here at the Colorado River Oasis in Ehrenberg, AZ, that I have been too lazy to post about it. Sorry!

This is a favorite place for us and our friends Bill and Donna from Colorado arrived at the same time we did and it has been busy, busy ever since.

On their way to meet us they stopped and bought a new 2011 Damon Astoria, a very nice motorhome.

The ladies have been going to a “Walk away the pounds” exercise class and Bill and I have been going for walks in the desert.

Recently we decided to try some geocaching, this is where you look up the location of a treasure “cache” on the net then input the location into your gps then try to find it.

Bill and our first find.

This has proven to be a lot of fun and some good exercise as well as a challenge.

We all took a drive to the Blythe Intaglios, (intaglios are prehistoric carvings in the earth). Along the way we found another cache. It was hidden in the Monument for the site.

They are so large that the best way to see them is from a plane (we didn’t have one handy). But it was interesting to see, they may be 10,000 years old by the way.

This one is either a lion of a horse, who knows.

It’s time to head out on another of those adventures.

More Later,
