Davis camp, Route 66, Oatman

In Bullhead City Arizona we decided to settle in Davis Camp a State park on the Colorado River, it was pretty and quiet, very warm and sunny weather just like in the movies and across th river from us is California.

We went for an afternoon drive on the legendary Route 66, for 40 miles leading us to Oatman. It was an unforgettable ride trough the tortuous road and spectacular scenery, a great natural wonder.

A little souvenir shop near the summit.

Oatman Arizona, a glimpse of what it was like to live in the 1800 in a mining town, well worth the trip.

While in Davis Camp we were fortunate to meet Claudia and Jim, a kind and generous couple from Colorado, Jim solve an electrical problem we had with our solar system, and the next day we joined them on their site for a BBQ dinner and a great social evening.

Hopefully we will get to spend more time with them  upon our return next winter.

So today were are on our way to Lake Mead for a few days and onto Las Vegas.

Some place north of Havasu City

We arrive here five days ago, great spot.... we were blessed with gorgeous sunshine, light warm win and scenery to die for, we were all alone in this little paradise.

By the way if you need parts for your RV's the folks at RV-Mart in Lake Havasu are courteous and knowledgeable especially Casandra, she is totally dedicated to costumer services, we needed a small part for one of our RV vent and she got right on it for us with a smile. 

Tomorrow were heading to Bullhead City, people are telling us that it is a must see, so we are looking forward to spend a few days there, new place, new challenge, part of the adventure.

Can't leave you without sharing this evening out of this world sunset!

Oasis in the desert!

We are back to Quartzsite from Yuma and a short step into Mexico.While in the Yuma area we stayed at Imperial Dam LTV, interesting place with plenty of services,beautiful lake and unmatch scenery.

Of course there plenty of military stuff to look at, while traveling to Yuma on road S24 we saw many date-palm farms and vegetable farming in a grand scale,allways a big wonder to us how large those farms are.

Tomorrow we are heading to Lake Havasu for a few days and Bullhead City after that, looking forward to the new sites.

Friends,The big tent,Evening Fire,Sunset on the mountain!

On my last post I mentioned the visit from one of our Hope neighbor , Trudy took this picture off us three old man "from left to right"Art-Richard-Frederick!

The famous big tent,loads of merchandise offered for RV's, Home's, Boat, name it they got it. A giant BBQ set up one of many, below a crowed of shoppers, busy,busy,busy.

After a day of running around we were so lucky it was a calm evening, enabling us to have a camp fire,our first in the desert, we had to take pictures.It was also a great opportunities to gaze at the stars, here we get clear sky's most night.

And look at the gorgeous sunset reflecting on the mountains! It is divine,

Ample offerings of Antique,Plain Junk,Rocks,Petrified wood,and hot Peppers!

We have been a bit busy in the last few days, we had the surprise visit of Art & Trudy our friends and neighbor from Home  in Hope, they were on their way back home , it was nice to meet them here for a few hours,we went to dinner at Silly Al,the best pizza joint in Arizona....long wait to get a table but well worth it,wish we had a place like this back home in Hope BC.

 Here are some of the few area we browse trough , this is only a sample of what can be found here,some of the items I recognized from my youth.

 Petrified wood, absolutely fascinating!

Never seen that many peppers in one spot, make me feel hot and hotter! 

Come back and visit soon there will be lot more to see.....take my word for it !

Laundry,Solar & great Sunset.

Being in the desert in the middle of no-were ordinary events brings back memories of my youth, this makeshift clothesline, was sort of a nostalgic fantasies of seeing it again for the first time.

In the desert the quest for reliable energies to power our toys is a challenge so we did our first timid plunge into tapping the sun's energies  ,in a few short minutes of basic solar panel and battery's installation, our telephones, computers and television came alive.....Fantastic!

In our world here in the Arizona desert we are blessed with the sun as an energy source and daily spectacle of infinite  endless beauty and power

There you have it ,an other small slice of our life in Arizona.

Our New Home

So we are now settle at our new location at La Posa West,we have so much space

as you can see our back yard is immense....and freshly landscape.

and our front yard is even bigger  with a view of the mountains, witch at sunset yesterday were a pink color.....one as to see it to be-leave it, it seem that everyday the mountains are of a different color.

We even have our own Burning Bush, so far we are trill with the view and the quietness, is inspiring.

We even found a new ride for Frederick nearby (Wishful thinking) at the price of gas here today $2.21 a gallon,this 1950's Cadillac could be affordable!

Life is good !
