Cool Nights - Warm and Sunny Days!

Since our arrival along the Colorado River in Moabi Regional Park, CA., we've dealt with one wind storm, awesome desert days, full moons, fires by the river and more.  Jeanette and I unloaded the motorcycle and have taken a few rides up to Bullhead City, AZ. and to Laughlin, Nevada.

Along Highway 58 in California - eastbound.

The road into Moabi Regional Park and our RV camp along the Colorado River.

The entrance to the park.

Our set up.  The Colorado River is 50 yards to the right.

I was awake early and walking about outdoors when the sun crept over the eastern horizon.

Unloading the motorcycle early in the morning. You can just make out the river behind.

With no 'on site' Internet access, one has to walk or drive to the Pirates Cove store and pub in order to access WiFi. Although a bit of an inconvenience, the service is very good.  However, I decided to purchase a broadband USB device and, while in Bullhead City two days ago, I was sold on the merits of the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB device.  I could access Internet at anytime from the comforts of our 5th wheel.  The product was overstated and it's crappy.  I called the tech support centre and was told that my area should be able to receive at least three (3) bars of Internet strength.  Utter 'crappola'!  Nada!  Barely one (1) bar.  Virgin promised that within four (4) fours, I would have awesome Internet access.  Nadda!  It was total BS.  So, the USB device will be returned today.  I'll think about another service..... but gosh, I so quickly lose faith with all the sales BS I get around here.

Jeanette captured this shot from the east side of the Colorado River in Arizona, looking west toward Laughlin, Nevada.

Diane came along when we drove out to Bullhead City to do some shopping. Hector stayed back to complete some RV maintenance.

Last night's moon.

Apart from other good reasons for spending time here is the freedom to light fires on the beach or near one's camp spot.  We did just that last night.  What a treat!  We were entertained by the coyotes nearby.  I have always loved their howling.

Hector lent a hand to set up our Shaw Direct HD satellite dish.

It sure is nice to sit in the comfort of our fiver in the evenings, or very early mornings, and catch up on our local Vancouver, BC news.  That's a treat!

We have barbecued these past few nights. 

Between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm, the days have been nice and warm - not hot.  Evenings call for long pants and jackets to ward off the brisk cool desert air. No complaints though!  It's dry, calm, sunny and there is sufficient warmth by day for golf, kayaking or motorcycling.

Jeanette and I spent the day on the motorcycle yesterday mainly doing stuff in Bullhead City.

Last evening before dinner, a motorcycle rode up to our site.  A really nice rumbling Harley Davidson Road Glide.  Low and behold, a rider who was camped nearby had recognized our fiver and rode up to say hello. He said that he instantly recognized us when we rolled in the other afternoon.  We were camped next to them last winter - about this same time too!  We shared some good laughs and agreed to join them, and a few other riders we have yet to meet, for a ride this Friday.  I believe we will head towards 29 Palms.  He farms rice and olives in northern California.  When not busy there, he and his wife head south for dry warm air to relax and motorcycle.  The travel with a 5th wheel toy hauler. We'll take photos during our ride and post later this weekend.

This is the view from our picture window at the back of the fiver.

Another view of last night's wonderful moon over the Colorado River.

That pretty well sums up the past few days here.  We struck out trying to purchase kayaking life vests in Bullhead City so I think we'll head south to Lake Havasu today to see if we can find some there.  We look forward to taking our Sea Eagle Kayak out on the tributary along Pirates Cove here next to the Colorado River.

Thanks for dropping by.
