We Left Alamo Lake State Park

We are now at Lake Havasu Landing, the California side. It’s a casino and campground Resort on Lake Havasu.. Here for 11 days.

We cut our stay at Alamo Lake State Park because we did not have any WiFi signal AT ALL in the park. We literally had to walk about a quarter of a mile to get 2 bars and stand just right to check weather and or messages.  Yes you are totally disconnected and that can be a good thing, but not if you need something or to check on something. We hiked to the Alamo State Park Dam here in the park,  it was about 2 miles away and if something happened we would have been in trouble with no signal.  Anyway, we stayed for 6 days instead of 10.. It is a beautiful place. We sat outside every night looking over the lake and the mountains from our site. The interesting thing is there are about 6 to 8 burros running around all over the park. One ran straight through our site one night.  We also met a nice couple who live 3 hours away in Phoenix. We sat and chatted with them one night and got a lot of good information on Phoenix for a future winter stay. We hope to run into them again down the road..

Here are some pictures of Alamo Lake State Park

Nice sunsets with mountains all around this place.  We went to a small bar and grill out in the middle of nowhere about 8 miles from the park,  called Wayside Oasis and got an Artillery Burger. It was very good with a beer and Jodi had wine. We then  headed back to the campground. They have a lot of trails for ATVS, so most of the people who are there have ATVs. We felt a little out of place there, but it is a nice place for a few days to disconnect from the world and just enjoy the scenery.

We are enjoying full hookups on at Lake Havasu Landing Campground, California. We are enjoying the weather so far. We had some rain and winds just yesterday, but nice warm upper 70s low 80s for our next week ahead…. YAAAA!!!

The sunrise is beautiful on the Arizona side looking over Havasu Lake from California side.

The campground is a little congested. The sites are real close to each other with lots of permanent people taking all the good sites. We are close to the lake front but not much of a view from out site. Our view is the camper next to us. But it’s still a nice campground. We plan on taking our fire pit and our chairs over to the lake one night and relax with some beer and wine on the little beach we have here.

Our next stop will be Las Vegas for 7 days… Slots!!!  Maybe win a million or two… Ya right!!

Hope you all will continue to follow us as we head to our next hosting job at Spooner Lake, NV.. We’ll be there at the end of the month… Unless it is snowing there, then we will wait till its clear…

On to Arizona, California and Nevada…

Hello Everyone, I am sending you this quick update to let you know that we have left Pancho Villa State Park, NM where we have been volunteering  for 5 months.  We had a great time and a good warm winter stay. Just a week before we left NM, We stopped at a nice day use park called Spring Canyon just outside of Rockhound State Park, NM.  We have been wanting to go there for a day of hiking, but waited till the last minute to go. It is a beautiful place to go for a lunch and hike. Glad we did, here are a few pictures..

We are heading to our next three and a half month Volunteer location, Spooner Lake, NV. Just outside of Lake Tahoe. 

We are going to take a month vacation before heading to Spooner Lake because it’s still a little too cold and may still have snow.  We are here at Picacho Peak State Park, AZ. Located in between Tucson and Phoenix, AZ. This is nice place to do some hiking and site seeing.  We had a 76 degree beautiful  day for Jodi’s Birthday and hiked 4 miles near the Peak.. Here are a few pictures.

We have 5 more stops before we arrive at Spooner Lake. Will update at each place when I can. Depending on how WiFi is in each location.  These are our stops:  Alamo Lake, AZ / Lake Havasu, CA / Las Vegas, NV /  Goldfield, NV / Hawthorne, NV, then our host Job site @ Spooner Lake, NV

     We are very excited now to head further West and get to places we have never been to.  The Bobble Head Travelers are set out to see more of this great U.S. of A….

I also wanted to post a picture I have created of the Blood Wolf Moon we had this January 2019. I was outside here in NM at Poncho Villa State Park with my camera set on a tri pod since 8:30pm and took many pictures of the eclipse till 12am to get all of the good moon shots then put them in order around the Blood Moon Picture. Hope you like, it’s one of my favorites…

Will post again soon to let you see what else we have been up too… Hope all is doing well, and being safe with all this bad weather we have been getting this winter… Till next time, be safe and stay tuned and please stay in touch..
