Arrived at Nancy and Clark Monk’s place in Pahrump. Quite a climb out of Vegas. Discovered I had to take truck out of overdrive and the vibration quit. They have quite a cute place on about an acre. Had pizza and beer and reminisced about the old days. They are great people. Turned out my water heater was working all along. Duh……Spent the night and then called Billy Santoro and met him at the local Burger King for coffee and to hear of his new venture in the storage business. .

Got to Lake Havasu with no problems. Yikes it is 100 degrees. Stayed at the Prospector RV camp on north side of town so I could enjoy air conditioning for a couple of days. Called John Boggs who was staying at the local State Park and decided to check it out.
