Parker, Arizona

Sunday in Arizona amazingly enough did not include Hubby fixing anything. 

We headed toward Parker Arizona around noon to head to a place we had heard of called the Desert Bar. It was about five miles off the main road on a four-wheel drive road. 


Not everyone made it in.... 

It turned out to be a  really cool place. There were abut 200 cars there when we arrived. This place was run off of solar and you could tell it was made by hand. Great food and live music every weekend. 




You had to walk through a covered bridge to enter. 


We kept hearing rumors about how awesome the helicopter tours were so my dad suggested Trevor and I go. Neither of us had ever been in a helicopter, and we were really excited. 


Selfies in the helicopter! 

It was only 8 minutes long but it was so awesome! The helicopter was very small, Hubby sat in front with the pilot and they didn't even have doors. 





Views from the helicopter. 





After the ride of a life time we found a front row seat and watched the band play. They were really good, playing old rock classics. I think the most entertainment was watching all the old people get so into the music, just dancing away. 



On the way back to camp we stopped for a quick snack. Really Good, Fresh Jerky. 


Also stopped to check out a, well I'm not sure what to call it. I think it was a mix of a swap meet and look at all my garbage out for display. This guy had everything for sale. Rocks, old bop-it's, broken appliances, and I could go on forever. 




It was a short weekend trip but very fun and memorable. We will always have lots of stories to tell from this weekend!
