Yes, please keep us posted! Also a bunch of us can offer more ideas and suggestions about "the west" in general. Also, love Arizona and we are planning to spend more time exploring there.

Here’s a photo gallery of River Island and the buxom Jolly Roger babes of the Pirates Den.



Pirates in Arizona! Well shiver my timbers! Tongue

What its that water that makes PBR so good! Kind of like here on the right coast with Yuengling which is only brewed with the finest of PA coal filtered slag water! LOL

It's a real hoot to come and see the desert animals at play.

This place isn’t out of the “old west”, it doesn” know the West is “old”.  One quarter of the inhabitants don’t know the Civil War is over, that prohibition has ended, that we landed on the Moon or that Bob Wills is dead.

 As for, “check in your razors and all your guns” many don’t shave as there’s precious little water.  All fain ignorance and illiteracy to sidestep the issue even the Diamond Jim’s with the law degrees and a license to practice law.

Such are the foibles of Arizona’s Parker Strip and the Buckskins...”Swing low sweet chariot, com’n for to carry me home” from the insanity of the “post, post, industrial revolution”.  WHERE’s the RUM MATE?

There was a time when our universe was a black void in space long before the r-pod and predating Trailer Life (July, 1941); for most this represents a time line when trailering life began. Preceding that there was a place where time and and space morphed and grew into Comets and Fire Balls.  These remnants represent ancient light from stars long since past, eclipsed by mammoth spiral galaxies spinning in an ever expanding universe of luxury motor coaches, behemoth fifth wheels with fireplaces, center kitchen islands, washer/dryers and in-place theater systems.  Then there are the cavernous toyhaulers carrying legions of adult toys for the weekend warriors with front end accommodations to keep body and soul living in the lap of luxury, wanting for not.  The trailer-universe has changed.

But deep in a long forgotten corner of the universe is a globular cluster of ancient stars bound together by their gravitational tides with each pulling on the other holding each other to its respective orbit.  They appear now and then in all their glory and splendor that was.  It is in this forgotten corner of the universe (this time in Lake Havasu City, Arizona) that the vintage trailer show and camp out was held.

The r pod is the bridge that eclipses the opposite ends of the universe.
