John Boggs and I and Trucker took a ride down to Parker to connect with the W.I.N. people. They are really an outgoing bunch and invited us to stay for the Halloween party, but John begged out. Seems he’s not the sociable type, too bad for him.
My truck transmission still seems sluggish to me and I still feel some vibration and the high end even though I didn’t have the trailer behind me today. Checked out Parker Dam and some other State Parks I might decide to move to later this week.

Met up with the W.I.N. people again down in Parker at the County Park. This time went alone! They invited me to go with them to the famous “Desert Bar”. Couldn’t believe after driving on an old, steep, windy, rough gravel road for 4 miles that here was this oasis in the desert.

They only operate during daylight hours because of the lack of power. I danced so much, I couldn’t walk the next day. Had to ice my knee. This time it was the left knee
