Last Saturday we left Menifee to go to Earp, California. Had a great time in Menifee. We did a little geocaching, a little wine tasting, a little reading and a little relaxing. Our reading consisted mostly of reading guide books on Italy and Ireland (more on that latter).
Earp is a tiny little town of about 300 people. It is on the Colorado River, which is the state line for AZ and California. It was named after Wyatt Earp. For all the places Wyatt Earp lived, this is the only place he actually bought a house. You can still see it.
One thing about being on the State Line is that my iPhone never knows what time it is. Eventho we are technically still in Ca, Earp goes on AZ time because we have to go to Parker, AZ. for everything. AZ time is an hour ahead. When we first got here, my phone changed to AZ time. For the next 3 days, it went back to Ca time. Now, yesterday it went back to AZ time. Can be confusing if I forget!

There is absolutely nothing in Earp, so everyone has to go to Parker for groceries, the drugstore and other misc shopping. It is only 6 miles away across the river. We came here to visit friends that we met several years ago from Windsor Canada. They winter here every year. Will probably doing basically the same thing here as Menifee except no wineries for wine tasting. Luckily we brought our own wine to tide us over. HA.
It was 76 yesterday so went to the hot tub for the first time this trip. Today we are going to the movies to see the new Star Wars. There is a casino here with a Movie Theatre. Movies are $5 for seniors, can't beat that. Sometimes there are benefits to being old!!
Showing some pictures of tiny RV's, can't imagine living in them for any length of time. Certainly smaller than our 35 '.
This RV is on the opposite scale. Some RV'ers love their "toys" This RV is called a Toy Hauler. Notice the back end of this RV comes down. Inside are usually ATVs, motorcycles or even another car.
Notice the back of this truck is filled with an ATV. Can't imagine how they got it up there!!
Picture of us wine tasting in Temecula. We belong to this winery, if we lived in the area, we could get free wine tasting EVERY day. This winery specializes in Champagne, my favorite !
We see different styles of this flag on RV's that winter here. They can spend 6 months here, hence the split flag. Or sometimes it's because there is one person from Canada and one person from the U.S.
