Day 30

Sadly we left Anza-Borrego State Park this morning.  It really is a great place in the Southern California desert.  We keep asking ourselves why we did not plan to spend time here this trip as we enjoyed it so much two years ago.  We did get here, but only had four days available.  Next time we will spend two - four week in the area.  It's really that nice.  We feel really stupid for not planning appropriately.

But we drove to Needles, CA on the Arizona border with only the Colorado River separating CA from AZ.  We are at what was to be a modular home community on the Colorado River that fell on hard times recently due to the housing "crunch".  The owner decided to open it up to RV's and we are glad he did.  A great spot with pool, hot tubs, Colorado River access, beautiful weather and views of the mountanis.  It's basically the same great weather we have enjoyed at Lake Havasu in the years past - just on the California side of the river.

Just one night here then on to Vegas in the morning.

The mandatory dog picture first - the girls staying in the shade of a bush as we packed up

Aren't we a cute couple?

The RV park we spent one night at on the Colorado River in Needles, CA - Arizona is on the opposite shore

No words can describe - but Bruce (and you know who you are) I have my "Brucifers" on

OK - a second dog picture.  We let the girls swim in the Colorado River today at the RV park "beach".  They both went "nuts" coming out of the cold water.  Isabelle has to "waller" in the dirt after swimming but we would not allow her to do so.  She waited until we got back to the RV and did the Ra-Ra-Roo on the sofa (it's a Lauer family thing)
