Days 35- 37 ~ Wide Open Spaces Tour 2012 ~ California

California here we come . . . . . . . . 

First there was Blythe, then Quartzsite.  Each with their own charm. 


A first for Dan...





I guess they have a problem with cattle on the highway? - see the cattle grate across the road


. . .  and more Wide Open Spaces with long roads...

where does this road go? - glad we have GPS!

more desert

And we found ourselves on the old "Route 66" again

More strange rock formations...





This campground in Blyth, Ca was right on the Colorado river, the border with Arizona.

We had read that it had a Tiki Bar, that is it with the yellow sign

it was a nice setting right on the river

Snickers liked the view and all the birds...

They claimed to have hot showers, but I never expected this.




Sunsets on the Arizona mountains looked awesome

Pam told me about some pretty sun rises

@ 6 o'clock our time

we were looking right down the boat launch


Quartzite is a small town in the Az. desert that swells to 100 times its population with RV'ers in the month of January.

We found a used car lot in the desert with nothing but old cars & trucks

How does that one look, Fred?

Interesting place we had heard about...

it came highly recommended for its seafood

even had outdoor plumbing


I just got an idea for something to do with my truck when its put back together

"Q" for Quartzite


There was a sheep farm near our campsite

1,000's of sheep...

This gal wanted to pose for a pic...

Like Mother like son...


This must have been the "Black-faced sheep of the family...
 
We had some nice sunsets...



Our own little Tiki bar to watch Redwing games

and not too much competition for seats when games start at 4:30pm(California time)
