Big rain and wind storm in the afternoon, camphost said this was the largest wind storm they had seen in the 5 years they have been host here.
No fishing during the day.
Small caddis hatch this evening, had to quit fishing because of rain storm coming, got inside just in time.
Fished up river today, saw first Caddis this afternoon, slow fishing did not have a strike. River way up from June 12, 2017 1400 cfs and today it is 3000 cfs.

Today’s drive
This is the same rest stop we spent two nights at on the trip south, other side of the road of course.
This is the campsite picture because I didn’t want to go outside and get my iPad wet to take a picture. Watched a little TV however kept loosing the signal because of the heavy rain.
We have been here before, we are heading north.
Today’s drive, 267 Miles.
Rest stop campsite, have an island so we can have the bedroom slide out.
Tomorrow is about 530 Miles to get Richard and Vickie’s in Sparks. The goal is to be on the road at 5:30 a.m.
A HORRIBLE day, today was our first time we moved without Hank.
Not many people here this time of year, think it was 90 degrees today.
Updated the text for February 14 and 15.
Today we are in Goodyear for a month of baseball. The first game is this Friday February 23. This year will have more night games than any other previous year. Last year was two and this year is nine night games. The article I read said the goal is to increase attendance, on the average night games have 2000 more people than a day game.
Today’s drive:
Our site 386:
Same site as last year. The RV Parks business is improving, when I checked in I asked to made reservations for next year and she said I can not make reservations until “June or July” she wasn’t sure which month. They have been selling more manufactured homes and don’t want to tie up a site they could sell.
At 8:10 this morning Range RV called and said they would be able to look at our brake right now, we were there in 5 minutes. Carlos pulled the front wheels and this time it was obvious the inside rotor seals were where the fluid was coming from. Carlos worked all morning and we backed out of Range RV at 12:15.
Drove across the street and back to coach up to the pickup, hooked up the tow bar and lights and we headed toward Quartzsite.
A lot more people here this year than last. We will be here until Monday Feb 19 when we move to Goodyear and our month of baseball.
