Tuesday, February 14, 2012 -- Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. We did some sight seeing and stopped for a dinner at a cafe in Parker, AZ

Decided to check out our next stopped up the river. We will only be staying there for 2 nights after leaving here next Monday, then we will go on to Bullhead City, AZ.

This resort is at Earp, CA. So you cross the Colorado River in Parker, AZ and head north along the River and beautiful mountains. It was a beautiful drive. We passed the resort and traveled on to Parker Dam. Then came back to Parker Dam. I called some of these mountains "majestic mountains". The formation and shapes.

Was a nice day.

Our drive from Ehrenberg, AZ to Parker, AZ. The mountains are very interesting with clouds in the sky. This mountain has sunny spots and where the clouds aren't letting the sun shine on the mountain.

The railroad bridge going over the Colorado River.

Crossing the Colorado River at Parker, Arizona. The Railroad bridge is at the top of this picture. We have seen the Colorado River at so many places in Arizona.

We had seen the signs along the road. Beware of Burros, could be in the roadway". Well, sure enough they were on Bob's side of the road. Check out the next picture, really close to us here.

We had been looking at the previous picture of the burros on Bob's side of the road. I said Oh wait look here. On my side of the road, between the road and the fence. Right there was this burro.

Really special when you see wild animals out here in the west.

This picture and the next picture is the Parker Dam. This Dam crosses the Colorado River between Parker, AZ and Lake Havasu City, AZ. This bridge isn't very wide. We only had the truck, in fact you can't pull and trailers, RVS, or big trucks across the bridge. I could see why, thank goodness I wasn't driving across this bridge.

This picture and the next one is our drive from Parker Dam back to Parker, AZ via Arizona side of the Colorado River. Many beautiful mountains along the river.
