Morning Swim and Last Swim in the Colorado River




 She is getting tired... she doesn't float the way she use to.


 Well, throw it already!
 Conjoined at the shoulder!
 We had the beach to ourselves all morning.
 Last fetch!
Tired, wet and ready to move on to next adventure.

Drive to CA

We stopped in Quartsite to look at Rocks, and fell into a Rock Coma and didn't take any pictures!  We purchased rocks... silly rocks!

Here's some scenery on the way to El Cajon CA.
 The Mountains of CA

Bummpy roads of HWY 78... heading to Glamis

 Imperial County Sand Dunes

 Everywhere SAND. In some directions, as far as the eye could see.

Lots and lots of sand... mile and miles of it.

We ended up driving about 260 miles today.  So glad to finally get to Jim's brother Frank's.  Happy Birthday Frank!  Glad we could celebrate (at least for a short time) your birthday, on your birthday.

Kingman AZ through Lake Havasu (London Bridge) to Colorado River camping (Parker AZ)

June 2-3, 2015

Tuesday

An uneventful, boring drive from Kingman AZ to Lake Havasu.

Irie decided to try and crowd Allie between the driver and passenger seats, 
the location reserved for Allie.

 Lake Havasu, London Bridge


 A drive over London Bridge. Very uneventful.
 A look down Bridgewater Channel to Lake Havasu
 London Bridge
 Allie and Irie, trying to stay cool viewing London Bridge (background).

River Island State Park AZ (along the Colorado River)

We lazed out and stayed two nights.  Allie got pretty worn out walking up/down hill and swimming.
Opposite side of the river is California.

 Swim, swim...
 Swim!
 Drying off, cooling off after a fun late-afternoon swim.
 Dinner (Steak, potatoes, veggies, Wine).  Yum.
Sunset.

Wednesday - Lazy Day

Playtime to nap time to playtime to swim time to good-night.
