Where the heck is Ehrenberg ? You might ask. Well, it's about two miles past Blythe, which is four hours south of Las Vegas. We slipped away from our wonderful site at Valley of Fire early this morning (wellll, actually more like 0900ish). We decided to not stay for the extra day we'd been contemplating because when we finally received a weather report - there was some robust breezes coming in tomorrow and the next day in the very areas we were planning on moving to. So, we graciously handed over our wonderful estate to a young family and moved on...and on...and on. It felt like a very long drive (even though it wasn't really) because of the rain (and some fine hail) we kept running into. Between the 'desert mist', partially flooded 'dips' in the road... and the hundreds of big ol' dirty tanker trucks on the road.... our focus was pretty much on the road conditions and our fellow travellers. And, we made it all in one piece.
We are now tucked in to site #7 at the Arizona Oasis RV Resort in Ehrenberg, AZ. After confirming it was ok to use a bit of extra water, (Lucy was literally dripping mud on all sides) we wiped most of the mud off and found our little Casita. We'll be here for two nights and, assuming the winds abate, will then carry on our way - either to Joshua Tree Park or to the Palm Springs area.
As of now, we are slowly winding our way home with the route being determined by road and weather conditions as well as suitable places to stop for the night. We are also happy to be back in the land of connectivity (although, being disconnected for a few days is good too).
That's our news for now. Hope all is well with each of you... CJ
