Yesterday was the final day of the Balloon Fiesta. We started driving toward home then spent last night at the Meteor Crater RV Park. This morning, we continued on the way home. We drove to the Bullhead City, AZ / Laughlin, NV area where we discovered a great county park along the Colorado River. It is Davis Camp Park which is one of the Mohave County Parks. Davis Camp is actually a small village that was built for the workers on the Davis Dam on the Colorado River. Now the County Parks have made the area into a very nice campground. There are dry camp areas, full hook up sites and some of the remaining original cottages have been converted to cabins to rent. The sites are first come first served so, since it was off season, we had lots of choices. We opted for a site without hookups as the weather was not too warm and cooled off at night and those were right along the river. This is our campsite for the night of the 14th.

We went out to dinner at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin, NV, just across the river. This was a very nice place to spend the night.
The next day, the 15th, we drove to Edwards Air Force Base Famcamp in CA. We have stayed here many times when we are traveling to the Southwest on I-15, I-40, or I-10. It is a good distance from home that we can make in a 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 hour drive. This time, we had an unusual experience, There was a coyote just passing through the campground.

We drove the rest of the way home on the 16th. We stopped for dinner at Pea Soup Anderson's in Santa Nella, CA. Great pea soup and chocolate shake for dinner!
We're home now. I will post more when we take our next trip.
