Monday, 19 February 2018 – Travel day to Lake Havasu City AZ

Our route from Quartzsite to Lake Havasu City Az

Last night in Quartzsite was very windy, so much so it kept us up some in the night. Today we headed out for Lake Havasu City, AZ and the wind remains super high. The new steering gearbox was really nice under these conditions. As a matter of fact, the longer I drive the coach the more I appreciate what a nice upgrade the new gearbox is.

A really nice site at Lake Havasu State Park Campground. Its right in town and on the lake.

We were surprised by the scenic mountains along Hwy 95 from Quartzsite to Lake Havasu City. It is really pretty. The road follows the Colorado River much of the way and has beautiful rock formations in the mountains along the way. Lake Havasu was bigger than we expected. We made reservations a few days ago for tonight at Lake Havasu City State Park. The park is very nice and provides 50A electric and water. We waited in line to dump our holding tanks on the way in. We want to stay two nights here but could only get reservations for one. The Park has a large “overflow camping” area that is a paved parking lot with no hook ups. We plan on staying tomorrow night in overflow.
