From Palms to Cactus

Rattlesnakes??!! I am certainly not walking in this place!

Ahh. A good place for a nap!

We left Hemet at 10:00am. Stopped at the George S Patton Museum. We passed fields covered with windmills. We crossed in to Arizona at about 4:00 pm., Ok I guess it is actually 5:00 pm because we also just entered a new time zone. Gas prices $2.35! Overcast, 65 degrees. Our first sightings of a wild saguaro cactus. Passed through Quartzsite. “Contained Chaos” is Jan’s name for it. It looks like if you want it, you will find it here. (Unless of course you need a trailer dump station!) We planned to stop in Havasu City, but we could not find a park that had a vacancy. There was a lot of BLM land that we could camp for free on, but by the time we arrived in the area, it was dark and difficult to see. The roads are not paved and very rough, so we decided to continue on to Kingman. We ended up sleeping in a rest area near Kingman for a few hours and then continued on to Williams
