From April 13 to May 7 we traveled through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas
and Nevada experiencing hot and cold, wet and dry, snow and sun and some very high winds

In Lake Havasu city, AZ we visited the London Bridge

Lynne and Drift view RVs and the Colorado River at the Buckskin State Park (AZ) campground

On our way from Phoenix to NM we stayed at Roper Lake State Park, AZ

The crowds were light so we had time to inspect

We walked both the Natural Entrance and Big Room trails.
Very few people made it a great experience

Typical tourists in the central square of Taos, NM

Don't miss the Enchanted Circle Drive around Mt. Wheeler (outside of Taos)

On the way out of Taos we stopped at the Rio Grande River Gorge

Crossing the northern NM mountains, we went to 10,600 feet and found wintry scenery

The initiated will understand the significance of Ed's shirt and this equipment.

On the way to Las Vegas we stopped at Hoover Dam. Here is a picture out the back window during lunch.

We enjoyed camping in the desert and have learned to enjoy its beauty

Drift proved to be a wonderful traveling companion and a true gentleman

Lynne discovered an excellent way of getting Drift's hair out of carpet and rugs
