My trip south!!!







Snows on the mountains



AND

the bike is loaded


Here we are at the bank getting some gas money
Here is something I never thought I would see.......80mph......here I am with the cruise set at 57.......I feel like an old Magoo going so much slower than everyone else


I headed south till I got to St.George, Utah where I spent the night.......man was that a tuff drive for me......I wanted to get down into some warmer weather for my first night.......never again....too much for me these days!!!!!

I drove on down to Seachlight, Nevada where I spent my second night.......great level gravel spot at the top of the hill
This is about all there is in Searchlight....






This old fellow was parked at the same lot I spent the night......never saw anyone, never moved and no for sale signs!!!!

About 14 miles south of Searchlight I found this nice little spot......with my disability discount I could have camped for $5.00

Somehow I forgot to take photos???????

It was a nice spot with a great marina, restaurant, campgrounds, hotel rooms and a small trailer village

I did get photos of the next place I stopped......I drove down highway 95 pasted Needles about 17 miles and found a turnoff to another small reservation with Casino, campgrounds, beach......really a nice little town.
I bought some supplies, visited the casinos, and walked around.....I met a older man, Wayne who has been spending his vacations and now his retirement in one of the best campsites I have ever seen......just feet away from the Colorado River straight across from Lake Havasu. Wayne told me I could camp about three miles back up the road......I love it here.......

Here is the view from Wayne's camp




Here is my view......really nice at night.....

My first day here by the river........I took Ed for a walk

I think he thinks he's at home again!!!!!

No matter how nicely I asked I could not get Ed to smile......old sour puss!!!!!

Ed seems to like my hat....nice fit!!!!!
