Wednesday, April 9th.

Today we started exactly 10 miles from the junction of Highways 62 and 95. When we got to the junction and the "Wyatt" Earp, California post office, we turned on 95 and crossed the Colorado River. Good-by California, hello Arizona. One state down and 8 more to go. We were greeted across the river by Randy Hartsell, head of the Chamber of Commerce and Karen Bonds, Mayor of Parker. Ruth and Carol were waiting for us there also. We posed for photos with our Habitat banner under the Parker banner that announced the celebration of their centennial, 1908 - 2008. Also, Karen gave everyone a very nice Parker Centennial pin and a necklace. After that, we were off again. We walked through Parker, which didn't take very long and out Highway 95 for 6.1 miles. That gave us a total of 16.1 miles for the day. I found a funnel, a 7/16 socket, a green magic marker, a bungie cord, a clamp and a penny. Tomorrow we are moving again. Stay tuned.....
