WATER SPEED SKIING

Last week we visited our friends Richard and Donna, Boondocking on the Colorado River, just north of Parker, AZ,  for the International Water Ski Races.





                                                                         The Colorado farmer.

The weather couldn't have been more agreeable. High 70's and light winds.
Camped on the river for one evening.

I've been up on water skis a couple of times in my life and thought it to be great fun...But...a               hundred miles an hour????   I don't think so.

The short time on the river was fun but it was just a bit loud with the big motors of the boats echoing off the shores.  Jackie wasn't impressed with the show, she said it was sort of like watching paint dry.  I guess it's a "boy-thing,"  motors and speed, it's part of our DNA stamp.
