Wednesday January 30






Been without internet for a couple days, so I got behind. Honest, we're still out here. Currently it's about 2 PM on Saturday and we're at the Holt's Shell parking lot in Gila Bend, where they have an excellent free Wifi service (plus free drinking water and free dumpstation, so we're set to boondock again!). So here we go:

On Wednesday we went back into the Riverside to the (free) classic car show, before heading south to Lake Havasu and Quartzsite. I really liked the "Solarwind" (see pic). Also very neat was the chance to take an aerial photo of our campsite (the car show was on the third floor). I've circled our unit for you, so you can get the flavour. Not a bad site overall, despite the guy next door (to the left in the photo) having the desire to run his generator past midnight and also having a bit of a leaky sewer pipe right outside our front door.

Don actually wanted to stay over until Friday, since there was a contest happening Thursday night, until I reminded him of the average age of the patrons here. We both agreed then that discretion being the better part of valour it might be a good idea to miss this one.

Stopped off in Lake Havasu to see the famous London Bridge. We were halfway across before we realized we were on it... duh.

Finally finished off the day arriving in Quartzsite about 5:00 PM and found a spot a few miles south of town.
