We left Bullhead City this morning in moderate temperatures, about 91 degrees at 9:30 am. The drive south was fairly uneventful, except for some fancy footwork in downtown Needles avoiding a low 8’ over crossing. We jumped on Arizona 95 driving south towards Parker, AZ. A few miles south of Parker we turned onto highway 72. This poor excuse for a paved road goes to Bouse, where tank exercises were held during World War 2, and Vicksburg, AZ before joining Interstate 10 at New Hope. It will be the only time I will ever be grateful to drive on a US Interstate Highway! Don’t ever think about 72, even though it’s a shorter route.
One hundred and eighty miles after leaving BHC we turned off the freeway into the thriving metropolis of Tonopah, AZ, population 14, but it has two area codes, go figure….The attraction is Saddle Mountain RV Park, with large, level, and easy to navigate sites. It’s a bit west of Goodyear, AZ, and is a perfect place to reorganize and recharge for the next phase of the OAS Tour.
We were pleasantly surprised at the cool temperatures as we drove in…..
