February 2-3, 2021 Bullhead City, Arizona

 75 degrees today and sunny. We drove north to Bullhead City and scored a spot in our favorite campground here, Davis Camp.. 

Mountains to the north of Quartzsite.  We crossed the Colorado River into California at Parker, Az below the dam and the river was really low. Then we crossed it again above the dam in Needles back into Arizona and the river was much higher. 

Welcome to Needles, California. The gas prices in Needles, CA, Welcome to California, the gas prices in Needles, AZ. Welcome back into Arizona, and a man looking for any available work. 

Some murals in Needles, route 66 liquors, Deco Foodservices on Route 66, A mural on the side of the Route 66 Fresh Jerky place- the road runner is standing on roadkill that has a sign on it that says jerky, Rt 66 Econo Smog and Tune, Grand Canyon Centennial and we caught your eye. The bus at our new campsite at Davis Camp, Bullhead City, AZ on the Colorado River.

I was sitting in my lawn chair minding my own business working on my basket and the river started rising, all of a sudden my feet were wet. They just have let some water out of the Davis dam above camp. Either that or the tide came in. Newest masterpiece is close to being done. The center are some turquoise beads set in resin, natural and dyed pine needles, polyester thread and gem chips around the rim. It is 6 x 6 x 2 1/2 inches. 

Mallards in front of the bus. This evening we sat in our chairs by the river and watched sunset and the birds coming in a settling for the night. 

Clouds across the river, Clouds behind us from our campsite,.to the east. 

Sunset clouds to the east. Sunset over the Colorado River from our campsite. looking downriver from our campsite at the casinos in Laughlin. Look at the vortex of clouds above the casinos. 

Sunset looking south from our campsite. 

I went for a walk along the beach. The Colorado River is so low that the swim beach is dry.  Looking north from our site at the campground. I love this place. None of these sites have hookups, the the location is ideal. 

I was happily working on my basket at our picnic table under the shelter and CRASH- the wind blew this hunk of dead branches out of the palm tree above me. So glad I was in the shelter.

Sunset across the river from our campsite. Sunset downriver from our campsite. The casinos are in the center. I love how cool the river looks at sunset.
