Day trip - Blythe, Parker, home

This picture was taken outside of our RV park.
This creative shot by John was taken in the RV park.

We decided to do a little exploring today. As it was raining east and northeast of us, we decided to head west to Blythe and then up 95 to Parker. I thought we were actually going in to the town of Blythe but John took the exit for 95 to Parker so I have no idea what Blythe looks like. I guess we need to communicate better about expectations when we head out!

The shot below is as we are heading west toward Quartzsite. All of those white dots are RVs and the opposite side of I-10 looks identical. There are thousands of RVs throughout Quartzsite. Once the RV Show closes up on the 24th, many of these RVs will begin to head out in all directions.

Anywhere there is BLM land, there are RV's.
When we headed north from Blythe, I got this scenic shot of the desert mountains.

Here is a shot of the Colorado River as it ambles it way south. Many people around here are saying that the Colorado River is the lowest they have seen in years.

When we got to Parker, we stopped for lunch and made a grocery store run. It was almost 80 degrees today. While we were sitting outside, we had a low fly over by a military jet. The pilot must have been going the speed of sound as we heard it just about the time we saw it. That was cool. The clouds thickened as the evening progressed and brought a little bit of showers.
