If you are shivering in the snow, take a ride with us as we make our Camping World deliveries to places where folks move south from the far north to spend the season with old and new friends in great campgrounds that eagerly await their arrival. Small towns swell from 2,000 to 10,000 during the "snowbird" season. We visit three states on our rounds. Nevada, California, and Arizona. The time always changes in Arizona as they do not suffer daylight savings.

NEEDLES ARIZONA
During the summer you often hear weather reports that Needles, AZ is the hottest place in the nation. During the snowbird months, the temps are perfect during the day and cool, seldom freezing, at night. The parks are close together, Some only feet apart. The Colorado River runs next to many of these sites. It is a wide and rushing river. Many nice sites are right on the river and folks are lined up fishing on nice days. It is amazing how many folks from Europe rent RV's and travel in the US. This couple shipped their own rig from Germany.

BULLHEAD CITY AZ
This is the place you will find the London Bridge and kazillions of snowbirds. I had one fellow tell me while we were in Texas that he used to go there , but it got too cold so, he heads to South Texas now. Bullhead City is just across the river from Laughlin, NV. Another town where gambling is king. There is one large RV park in Laughlin, Riverside. We have stayed there in the past on a trip to CA. VERY LARGE PARK.

BACK TO VEGAS
You might think that this is a long trip. It is about 90 miles from the south of Las Vegas to Needles and then the parks are just miles or yards apart. The drive in the desert is always a treat. We see the turnoff for Christmas Tree Pass on the road from Laughlin to I-95. We see where it meets I-95. Hmmm....wonder if the HHR would or could make that sidetrip. We are always tempted. Are there trees? How high is the pass? Our next trip will be to Pahrump. Another story altogether. We see now why our desert friends get mesmerized by the landscape and endless vistas. A big shoutout to our special blogger friends, www.thebayfieldbunch.com Great blog with amazing pics of the desert. They are dealing with a rock and not a good one. Give them a shoutout and a prayer. More to Come...H, C, and Boo Too

I'm afraid you will have to go on south to Lake Havasu City Arizona to see London Bridge.
Yes, you are right John. When we drove from Quartzsite to Laughlin we passed through Lake Havasu and the London Bridge. I was a few miles off center. Thanks for the correction.
