Where in the world are we!

If you think we have fallen off of the face of the earth, we haven’t.. we just keep finding RV parks with no internet…

After leaving Las Vegas, we headed to the Hoover Dam, all I can say about that is WOW, how did they build that!  It is absolutely amazing to think about the men that worked and gave their lives to build it.

driving across the dam!

Then we drove to Lake Havasu, Arizona.  This area was bought, planned and built by one man, the same man who brought the London Bridge to the area.  It has a beautiful lake with some of the largest, fastest boats we have seen.

And of course we visited the main attraction, the London Bridge…

We then took a leisurely drive down along the Colorado River to Quartzsite, Arizona!  This area is one of the cheapest areas for RVer’s to stay. You can even camp or “boondock” right in the desert. But we figured out the drawback to the area!  It is HOT here, and dusty and there are very few stores. If you have a dirt bike or atv it is probably a great place, but we only have our feet this trip and walking was exhausting.  The woman that runs the park that we stayed at, told us that it was cool for this time of year too… all we could say is “thank goodness”.   It was 90 during the day and maybe 75 at night, normally it would be 95 to 100 in October and only a little cooler at night.

Shady Lane RV Park...where are the shady lanes??

We left there on the 28^th of October heading closer to the border, we looked through our books on RV Parks and decided to miss the larger cities instead we picked, Green Valley RV Park. Just south of Tucson, it is a newer park that is made up of approximately 150 “park” model trailers for seniors and 50 sites for motorhomes and fifth wheels to pull into.  We checked in for 3 nights and then found out the internet sucks!  What is with Arizona!  So there are starbucks and Burger King within walking distance and having free wifi so that is where we are posting this from.

Our plan is to cross the border on the 31^st and be at La Penita RV park 3-4 days later.
