November 28, 2022 Travel to Quartzsite

We were up early, packed up, emptied our tanks and away we went south!

Past solar farms:

Love those mountains:

At the top of the “hump” (Mountain Springs), we found this great metal sculpture:

Going down the other side – that is Las Vegas in the distance:

How beautiful:

Red Rocks Canyon in the distance:

Mesmerizing, isn’t it!:

This is the outskirts of Las Vegas.  There were so many developments!  I have been coming to Las Vegas since the 90’s and I am amazed by how much it has grown and spread out!

Many of the developments look alike:

And they go for miles:

Even the apartment buildings look similar:

Cell phone tower disguised as a tree – :

Sandstorm in the distance – we missed it!:

South of Las Vegas, another solar farm:

Into California:

  

Over the Colorado River:

Into Arizona:

Mounds and mounds of sand:

Cool rock formations along the Colorado River:

Past Lake Havasu:

Past the Steps (we camped here a few years ago):

Around the bend of Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge: 

Still along the Colorado:

Going into Parker:

In Parker, we headed southeast to Quartzsite where we set up in Hi-Jolly BLM Land.  It was great to be here again.

We took a ride around town and were very surprised at the changes on Kuehn Street.  All of the businesses have been removed and RV parks have replaced them.  What a bummer.  There were a few places there that we loved to frequent. Oh well!

We finished the evening at Silly Al’s Pizza and the pizza is still as yummy.

We are going to do a little more exploring tomorrow so stay tuned and enjoy today.
