Still southbound - Oct 11th

On the road again, left Mesquite at around 9:00AM. Another nice day in the making by that time. Made it through Las Vegas at about 11:00 AM and a lot of the construction zone we saw last spring was much better this time. Took the California side of hwy 95 down to Needles , got gas at Love's and then stopped in their lot for a lunch in the mhome. Then to the Arizona side of Highway 95 down thru Lake Havasau again. The highway has the same number on each side of the Colorado river, it's the old "Route 66", and no we didn't get our kicks. It's really nice along the Colorado River, and is such a marked contrast with the surrounding desert. The only thing negative is that it's mostly 2 lane. Stopped in Quartsite for the nite. At 4:00 PM the temp read on the car was 92F. The park manager said anything in two digits is cool, so we never made it to hot. Checked in to an RV park and the cable never worked. Marg's soap was supposed to be on, so we checked out and went around the corner to another where they even have wifi as well as cable. LOL We're getting better at planning arrival in major cities so it's not noon or rush hour. With any luck we will hit Phoenix at 1 - 1:30 PM tomorrow.
