Going back and forth across the Colorado River into California we've had to stop at these inspections. I remember this from when I was here with my girlfriend and her parents between our junior & senior year. It is called Inspection Agriculature Station, we haven't been asked any questions, just waved on through. Back when I was here before they ask if we had any fruit, we had to give it to them. They don't want you transporting fruit into California.

Crossing over the bridge of the Cololrado River. Will be seeing this many many times.

One of the stacks of baled hay.

One of the many hay fields we have seen here at the Colorado River area. Stacks and stacks of hay bales.

We left Sun City today. Weather is good and we are headed west. We drove about 120 miles to our next stop at Ehrenberg, AZ. We are here for the next 14 days. Ehrenberg is located on Route 10 at the Arizona/California Line. This campground is on the Colorado River, I'll have pictures tomorrow. We can see the river from our campsite. We came through Quartzsite, AZ on the way here, we are about 18 miles from Quartzsite. That is an area that people actually park in the desert without any water or electricity, they call it dry camping. We seen an area where there was thousands of RV's park in the desert. Quartzsite is a area that has Rock & Mineral Shows during the winter months. The town has a population around 3500, but during January & February it swells to 1 million. I can remember my Aunt & Uncle coming here, they made jewerly from rocks found and purchased at places like this.

The trailer is all set-up and he is sitting in the sun with a glass of beer. He's relaxed.

This is when we are leaving the Phoenix area. This is actually a picture of the desert. But there isn't suppose to be water in the dessert.
