While we were in Arizona in March, we decided to drive north to Laughlin, NV for a few days. Were not able to get reservations in RV space in Laughlin, but found a nice park in Bullhead City just across the river. The first two pictures above were taken while driving the Joshua Forest Parkway to Laughlin. We stayed three days in the Bullhead City, Laughlin area. Had fun gambling, but the main casino drive in Laughlin was under road construction. We found traffic backed up for 30-45 minutes for the short drive from Bullhead City across bridge to Laughlin unless we made the trip early morning, stayed for lunch then returned to Bullhead City. I was disappointed we didn't make any side trips to Las Vegas, or the Grand Canyon, but we have a good reason to return to the area. Returned to Benson, Arizona and spent several days at Cochise Terrace RV Resort and visited with friends Bob and Phyllis. The 3rd picture is the drive-thru space in the park. There was a big wind, rain storm headed east from California on the day we left Arizona to return to Texas. We thought we could get to Texas before the storm hit. However, Ted had to fight heavy winds gusting up to 50 MPH on the drive across I-10. The wind was so heavy it was pulling the awnings away from the RV on the passenger side. We had to make 3 emergency stops to secure the awnings and readjust the side mirrors. Thank goodness for duct tape and long zip ties. The wind was so strong, it blew the side mirrors over as shown in the last picture.
