I found a brochure advertising a large bead store but our drive was fruitless. There didn't seem to be any physical address that matched the one on the brochure so we gave up and drove out to Henderson and Camping World. We did some shopping and ordered two fantastic vent covers to be installed on Monday morning.
On Monday morning we arrive for our appointment to find out that we can only have one installed because the solar panels are too close to the fan to have the cover installed. We saved some money on that one and the gift certificate we have still has a bit of money in it.
We were able to start our journey south at 11:45 am and we headed south to Laughlin. It wasn't a very long drive and we boondocked at the Riverside Casino overnight. It was very warm in Laughlin and there were no trees to shade us from the sun.
I slept good but hubby had a bit of trouble. He heard a/c fans running and that kept him awake. Once I'm asleep I'm asleep.
Tuesday we left Riverside at 9:15 am heading south. We didn't go far-only to Lake Havasu-where we are now parked. Campbell Cove RV Park is listed in the Passport America book. We purchase a p.a. card so that we can find rv parks that have a reasonable rate. P.A. rate is 50% off the regular rate. We got our son and his partner using it and they swear by it. Check out their blog "The Youngest Snowbirds". Not one photo of Campbell Cove did I take except for this one and Hobo is enjoying the view of Lake Havasu from our rig.
South of Vegas we saw fields of something that was being harvested. On closer inspection we found that it was cotton being harvested. I know they grow cotton further south of here so I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise to see it when we did. I wasn't quick enough to pick up the camera and take a photo.
A good stiff breeze came up Tuesday afternoon. We opened all the windows and soon had the rig cooled down to a living temperature.
I just wanted to let folks know that not all rv parks have wifi. Some have free wifi. Some charge for wifi. Some charge more than other parks. Those that charge ususally have a daily, weekly or monthly rate. Campbell Cove charges $2.50 a day. Idon't remember their weekly and monthly rates. We bought it. We needed our internet fix. I wanted to keep my blog up to date.
Today is October 26, 2011. It would have been my mom's birthday today.
We are here in the Campbell Cove RV Resort in Lake Havasu for another day. The winds are expected to gain in strength as the cold front rolls through. The lake is roiling with white caps. The sun is shining though and the temperature in the rig right now is 77 F. Hubby put up our solar blankets in front of the curtains on the front windows and they are helping keep the temperature down.
I could be out doing laundry but it costs 2.50 for a load of laundry here and we do have enough underwear to last another day or so, so...
We took a drive yesterday to see "London Bridge". The bridge was moved from London England to Lake Havasu and reset up brick by brick. It's quite impressive actually.
We've been seeing rigs pulling trailers with boats and cars and motorcycles. Here are two examples for our viewers if you're thinking of pulling a car, boat etc.
