Some Side Trips North and South

A Dust Storm Engulfs the Area

Over the last week, we ventured out to some more distant areas from our current location in Bullhead City.  We traveled North through some high desert through such places as CalNevAri, Searchlight and a little place called Las Vegas.  We then crossed the Colorado River via the new bridge near Hoover Dam (the road formerly crossed the dam itself) before heading South on the AZ side, returning back to base via Kingman, AZ.

In the slide show, you will next see some photos of more views along the Laughlin side of the river, then on Saturday we were off to a short revisit to Oatman (remember the burros?) before heading South along a remote and desolate stretch of Route 66 (hard to believe that this was once a primary highway to Los Angeles).  We continued on to Parker, AZ, for a preview of our next extended stay.

As usual, there are some captions to the lower left of photos in this collection.
