Those Young Guys – Finding Our Way
While staying at River Island State Park we realized our water pump was starting to go so my husband drove into Parker and bought a new one at Spankys RV. He installed it quickly before dinner that evening but since it was getting dark he decided to wait until morning

Another great day with John and Pam from OhThePlacesTheyGo. We headed out on a beautiful sunny morning over to SARA, the local park in Lake Havasu City, for a hike to Keyhole Landing which is a cove along the Colorado River. The hike is rated as a 4 star (out

We really like Mojave National Preserve. There are two campgrounds, Hole-In-The-Wall and Mid Hills. Hole-In-The-Wall can easily fit big rigs but Mid Hills tends to be more for tenters. A small RV or camper can easily fit there though. And we found some “OH SO GREAT” boondocking spots but know

While staying at River Island State Park in Parker, Arizona we had plenty of time to explore the area of Parker and Lake Havasu City. The area has lots to offer as far as campgrounds, RV Parks, entertainment, restaurants, hiking, biking, boating, and great weather. What more could you ask
