Raining and supposed to last a couple of days so we are moving on. Packed up during a break in the rain and now slowly heading back east. Had to check with the ranger regarding the weather as high winds are further up north and expected to move this way. He said that I10 should be ok as they had not been given any advisories. It was ok, most of the way but here’s a picture of a sand storm we hit, there was a semi in front of us that we could just barely make out. There were advisories flashing on the highway sign but Bruce figured as long as there were some RVs coming from the east that we should be able to go west. The sand storm only lasted for a few of miles, thank God!

I-10 Dust Storm |
We should have stopped for the night a little sooner but chose to keep going. Three of the state parks that we tried were all full, except for overflow, which was dry camping. We didn’t want to do that so went on in to Lake Havasu to a private park, Crazy Horse RV Park. We got a spot right on the water front, no sewer or Internet, and I’m having withdrawals!! Since it was late we just stayed hooked up and leveled it good enough until morning. Went over to the hot tub for a while, boy did I need that! I sure do miss my tub.
Learned a lesson that day...when the highway warning sign says "high wind warning, high profile vehicles not recommended"...they aren't kidding. The wind and dust storm was pretty bad for a few miles.
