Our sun rise most days.

4 o'clock was cocktail hour at the Baño, yes it's the bathroom...with a very nice porch.  

On Tuesday we rode along with an out reach program.  In-need residents receive food and various donated items.

All day, every day, fishing boats like this are put in and pulled out of the water, on the beach in front of us.

What's a day in an RV without a few repairs?  This tray is starting to remind me of a morgue!  I slide him in and slide him out!

Mike and Peggy were nice enough to loan us a side by side,  ATV so we were able to go with the group down the beach 20+ miles one way!  The day was absolutely beautiful.  The shells we collected were shells I have not seen before.

Cool yard art in the back Casitas.  Still part of Colorado River Adventure parks.

Sunset views from our windows.

Thank you to Gay and Randy for showing us the in's and out's of ElGolfo before you went back to Yuma.  Thanks to their 4x4 we were able to ride about 20 miles down the beach.  The word beautiful, can describe the coast of the Sea of Cortez. Much garbage is seen every where; which is a shame.  The further away from town you go, the nicer and cleaner the beach gets.  Still very cool down here 48-60 degrees for about 5 days before it warmed up.  Notice the snow on the mountains in the back ground.  This snow was highly unusual.   

Another interesting RV

Below:  This slope we are about to defend is about 300 feet high.  It doesn't look like it on the picture.  

Our camp site on the Colorado River for a few days.  Near Parker and Blue Water Casino.  This is Indian land.

Above the lighthouse pictures, is a panoramic view of Lake Havasu from the state park.  Photographed in the rain at 42 degrees, high wind, and we are still having a fun adventure.   Lake Havasu has numerous mini lighthouses scattered all around the lake.  Many are replicas from the Great Lake Region.
​
​Every year in Lake Havasu, and at Sara Park the Western Pyro technic people set up their displays for buyers to see.  Fireworks start on Wednesday and run until Sunday Evening.  They begin at dusk and continue until 10-11pm.  RV's Park in the surrounding BLM lands and it is crazy busy with campers in all available spots off the road and on the sides of the hills.  4x4's and camp fires everywhere.  RV's of all kinds are seen.  Some are funkier than others and plenty of interesting people.  I have now learned, that I do not like fat black labs that hid under creepy trailers and show their teeth and pretend to attack.

​This winter was extremely cold and it was a rare site, to wake in the morning and see snow on the mountain, in Lake Havasu!  Cold was between 45-55 degrees, with high winds most days.  Even with the many disappointing weather situations, the displays were a sight to see and we were happy to meet with new friends and fellow travelers from Mexico to experience it. Below is a picture of where we were parked, the rodeo grounds and surrounding areas.  The following  pictures, in no way, give you a clear example of the crazy unique experience we had.  

These are various pictures of the rodeo grounds where our friends were staying.  Notice the fire pit is an old washing machine drum on a pole and plow disc for a stand.  There is specific restrictions about having fires touching the ground.  We had the thing stoked to the max with wet wood; which Randy fired up with his Boy Scout juice (lighter fluid).

Craggy Wash BLM land...wow I had 4 bars on my phone...we can stay here in the future!  We have learned not to pull out the rug, set up the lawn chairs and table before we check the signals of the phone and satellite reception.  I love to camp on the BLM lands and be in touch with the world...I always loved contrast in my art and I need this contrast in BLM to survive happily.
