Valley of Fire Photos

After a rough start (I had to take my RV back to the dealer due to the OneControl System failing again), I joined Sunny & Stormy at the Valley of Fire State Park where we were able to take a few photos during the "golden hour" before sunset...

Cattail Cove Trail

This trail is rated 3.0 but there are plenty of "extra credits" along the way for those looking for more of a challenge. The first stop was Rovey's Needle which is known for its honeycomb rock formations. After parking the Jeeps, there is a short, moderate climb up to the face of the rock that requires scrambling over some reasonably sized boulders...

Do not try this at home - this is a trained professional

"We made it"

After lunch I put my Jeep's transfer case in 4 wheel low only to discover it was like being in neutral. After shifting back and forth between reverse and drive, I was able to get it to engage and was able to limp back to Lake Havasu City where I stopped at the local Jeep dealership. When the service technician started up the Jeep, it ran like normal - no shifting problems at all. I know modern vehicles have a lot of computer chips but this is the first one I have had to "reboot" to get it working!

Topock 66

On the way back from Oatman, Sunny, Stormy and I had lunch at Topock 66 overlooking the Colorado River...

Where they have a slightly naughty decor in the men's room...

Oatman & Cool Springs

It is practically an obligatory obligation when in the Lake Havasu area to go to Oatman to see the burros...

If you continue up the mountain on the longest continuous stretch of old Route 66 still left, you will come to an old gas station in Cool Springs...
