There were a lot of cars, trucks, and RVs coming and going all evening and this morning in the Hi Jolly LTVA. There were several units parked in various areas and appeared to be there for the duration. Many, I am sure are set up in the same place as last year and will be with many friends as they assemble around the area. There are many Escapees bof groups that meet in certain areas and spend time together and enjoying one anothers company.

We will be meeting with the Amateur Radio (Ham) group at the 99mm south of town off of US95. There will be many units in that gathering with all types of units and all kinds of antennas you can imagine and some you have never seen before. They will have an antenna shoot out on the day of the hamfest to determine who has the best antenna setup. A lot of fun for all involved.

We will not be able to stay the whole week as we have to go to Palm Springs, CA on Friday for a hamfest on Saturday. A very good hamfest last year and we anticipate a good one this year as well.

Today, we left HiJolly LTVA and made our way to Mesa, AZ and the home of good friend Nancy B. where we will be until sometime in January. There will be lots of things to do while we are here and we want to take advantage of what is available.

Our photos are from downtown Oatman, AZ showing some of the stores and items for sale.

The trip to Oatman on the original US66, the "Mother Road", is quite an experience and one experience all should have.
