Bo-ring
Yesterday was by far the most boring drive I've had during this vacation. A long desert road. The kind of highway where there were more tow companies than gas stations, more Border Patrol than State Patrol, and the choices for radio were country or Latino. The kind of drive where you hope sagebrush will come tumbling across the desert span, just to break up the monotony. The dog just put his head down and slept through the entire trip, wishing we were there, wherever "there" is.
Suddenly I began to see green, as in grass, and we descended to Parker, Arizona, crossed the Colorado River, turned northward, and the landscape became interesting again. The red hills above the Colorado River are beautiful. I was intent on getting to the destination, so no stops for pictures. But finally we made it to Lake Havasu, where we'll spend the next couple days. Charley was happy again to have a proper park to walk in (complete with off-leash dog area) and to dip his feet into the water.
Today: Hanging around Lake Havasu, probably the state park.
Tonight: Still at Lake Havasu City Super 8
Tomorrow: Headed towards Death Valley. Not sure of route yet. Since hotel options will be limited around Death Valley, will probably stay either in/near Vegas or some small town in Nevada.
Update: I'm slowly figuring out how this blog website works and I'm realizing some of my photos are really grainy. You can click on the photos to see the actual picture, and I'll try to post them in a larger size so they're not so grainy. Still, it's just a camera phone and I'm no photographer....
