February 4, 2021 Bullhead City, Arizona

 64 degrees and sunny. The wind was in the high 20's with gusts in the 30's mph. It was way to windy to go outside. But it looked nice out. 

In the late afternoon the wind dropped a little bit so we went for a walk on the beach.  A balanced rock at Davis Camp where we are camped. John walking on the beach at Davis camp, where we are camped. 

My view out the window when I woke up this am. Blue sky, blue river and green trees. This road runner came up to me begging for food. It was flipping the crest on top of it's head up and down and chattering it's beak at me.

We checked out Lake Mohave, which is behind the dam that we are camped at the base of. Looks refreshing. We drove up Silver Creek, dirt road to get a closer look at the surrounding rugged mountains. 

Mountains coming into Oatman, AZ. Oatman is an old mining town which turned into a tourist trap on Route 66.Cute town but too touristy for us. It was packed, no where to park. No masks or social distancing. Guess the pandemic didn't make it to Oatman. We have been here before so didn't stop. 

Oatman is well know for the burros, which are descendants for the miners burros, walking around town. This cute house had a baby burro on the porch.

 Historic Route 66. 

We drove across the river to Laughlin, which is in Nevada and a different time zone. Caution, burros in the road,  street art in Laughlin and thanks for visiting Laughlin, NV, come back soon. The Colorado Belle casino is closed. It is shaped like a river boat. 

Back at camp, the tour boat going by on the river.  The boat runs hourly later in the year, but this was the first one we have seen this trip. Sunset on the river with the casinos in the center. 

John cooking dinner. He likes to spray the oil spray into the flame and watch it flare up. On the side of the can it says not to do that, the can could explode. He says he can do it because he is a trained fire fighter. . .
