    Once you get away from the cities this country has so much diverse scenery. Every bit is beautiful in it's own way. I once asked some European travelers what they enjoyed the most. Their reply- they can travel day after day and still be in the same country. Get out there and enjoy it. Life is short!! 👍👍🙋‍♂️

    I know you didn't have time to visit on this trip, but have you ever visited the nearby Desert Bar and Nellie E Saloon? I think of that place when I drive this route.
    For those who may not know, it's a bar near here that is totally off-grid. They have solar that powers their establishment.

    I got the worst sunburn of my life as a child there. Almost passed out from the heat in a drainage ravine. Thought I was about to drown because my older cousin had me convinced I was about to get sucked under in a whirlpool.
    Learned to ride a motorcycle, tried to learn to water ski, played with sparklers, and basically had the best time of my life with my family! Thanks for sparking those fond memories Russ!

      If you are referring to the Thunderbird Lodge on the AZ side, my uncle used to manage the place. It's no longer there. Curious, are you talking about the 12 person cabin right on the river. There were a few cottages there. I think I remember a couple of 6 person cottages plus a handful of 4 and 2 person cabins.

    I lived down here for years and even with the water the desert is extremely harsh and desolate. The Mojave desert is mostly scrub, palo verde and mesquite trees and the brittle bush that pops yellow flowers. The river basin that includes Bullhead City, Lake Havasu, Parker, and Yuma are one of the hottest inhabited areas in the country manly due to the low elevations in the river valley.

    Greetings from Munich, Germany. I do know a lot of places you're roaming and i enjoy to re-visit those. I once rushed through this Parker dam stretch on my way to Sedona but shall add it to my list written in bold letters. (I did stay in Lake Havasu City over night but was a bit underwhelmed). I am not into RVing, staying in Hotels. Need to check out the options. Thanks for all those little video gems and keep on truckin'

    You been up to the old plateau areas sort of east/northeast of Phoenix, where they had the sheep/cattle wars? Pleasant Valley I think? It's pretty dang nice up that way as well. Arizona is, for my money, the best state out west. You are roughly five hours from the ocean, five hours from Mexico, five hours from the snowy mountains in winter and of course when you're in the valley, well you're in the valley.
