New Orleans/FL Trip (Day 45) - Phoenix, AZ – Edwards AFB, CA

We left the RV Park in Phoenix about 7:30 am and headed west on I-10. The weather remained clear and mild. We decided to head north from Quartzsite, AZ along the east side of the Colorado River through the City of Lake Havasu up to I-40. It was actually a pretty drive along the river with lots of resorts/RV parks on the river that looked interesting. This jog north allowed us to avoid the congestion near San Bernardino and the LA suburbs east of town.

We considered continuing on past Edwards AFB and driving another two hours to Lemoore NAS just west of Fresno. We thought the better of it however, and spent the night at the Edwards AFB, FAMCAMP. This is the same place we stayed the evening of Day 1, way back on February 1st. It is a lot warmer now, and we arrived under clear skies and the temperature in the high 70s.

Tomorrow, we have a straight shot directly to Bakersfield, then up Highway 99 to Nevada City. We have been gone a long time and are looking forward to getting home.
