Solitary Confinement

Jan 10/2018  Weather 67/43  Lake Havasu City was a quiet spot for us this time, we just did not hit warm riding days but it is a lovely spot on the Colorado River.  Very scenic and heading south now on SR95 this would really be a better ride on the motorcycle than the motorcoach.  Billy is just taking his time around the corners and the elevation.  You will drive close to the river most of the way to Parker; and peaks and full expanses of the river will appear and the California side.  
California side
On the Arizona side nearer to Parker there are three State Parks that are excellent spots to stay, views to die for.  We have tried to get into them before and we will keep trying - Cattails Cove; Buckskin Mountain, and River Island.

We are headed to the Tucson area for a while and will take a stop overnight at KOA Gila Bend.   From the West we are taking I10 till Buckeye then SR85 south to avoid Phoenix.  You will pop out onto I8 at Gila Bend.   Tomorrow will be a quick jaunt to Tucson.  The Gila Bend KOA has enormous pull thrus (110 feet).  The fellow that owns/runs the place is really making efforts to improve and be a rising star in the KOA campgrounds.  New clubhouse, new pool, new restrooms & showers, new laundry.  Best of all he put in a "SOLITARY CONFINEMENT".  What a sense of humour too!!! 
A place to send your spouse when they need a timeout - haha "snort"
