Bakersfield to Needles

What a nice drive this turned out to be. A lot of up and down hill driving but quite pretty in its own way. We took a short break on Route 66 for a quick lunch at a very dilapedated old restaurant where the food was surprisingly good.




The RV park we are in is mainly park model mobile homes with some RV spaces thrown in for good measure. The Colorado River is running full and quite beautiful. We did manage a few pictures there on an early walk.




Off to the Grand Canyon tomorrow but no internet access so you can expect a long blog after we leave there on Friday. The weather promises some excitement while we are at the canyon, almost freezing at night (they are getting snow tonight) and thunderstorms and wind during the day!! We are having fun now.

More after the Grand Canyon trip.
