We left the fantastic Palm Springs weather reluctantly after 2 weeks of sunny warm, albeit occasionally windy, desert days. We headed east to Bullhead City Arizona, spending 3 nights at a campground along the Colorado River with daytime highs at least 10F degrees cooler. We then took the road through Route 66 and then into Phoenix, Arizona our present location. We've been swimming every day in the heated pool and hot tub. Played Bridge and Mah Jong and visited and partied with some old friends.

R & R in Palm Springs

Bill, Mary, Philip, Gisele, Maureen and Geoff

We are enjoying our time here in Palm Springs. The weather's great and it's an easy life. We connected with some friends from France, Mary & Philip Congdon and Maureen & Geoff Mansell-Ward and had a nice dinner on our RV.

Texas to Palm Springs

A music venue in Gruene, Texas

We visited with a friend Mike in New Braunfels, Texas who took us to an old Texas music hall, Gruene Hall, in Gruene, Texas. We enjoyed some Texas country music and walked the interesting town.

Along the road in Arizona

We spent the next 3 days traveling before arriving in Quartzite Arizona, dry camping out in the desert for 4 days. It was very scenic with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and beautiful sunsets. We'd take the motorcycle into town about 5 miles away and spend the day walking and shopping. We'd then return the our RV for drinks and dinner under the big sky.

We've finally arrived at a campground where we'll be staying for a few days and can update the blog and email. It's in the Palm Springs area in Desert Hot Springs on the northern outskirts of town.

A quick not to say we're in Phoenix, Arizona heading towards Quartzite also in Arizona. Will not have internet for a few days, since we'll be in the middle of the desert, but will try to post photos in near future.
