AZ – CA – NV road trip

Over the years we have wintered twice at Yuma, AZ; both times at the Arizona Sands, a 55+ seniors RV park on highway BR-8 just east of USMC Air Station.

This is just a short story about a bus tour to Laughlin, NV. The tour was arraigned by the RV Park so it started and ended there.

Our long time friends from our Navy days were wintering with us. Neither one of us wanted to take a trip that far with our trucks so the bus tour was a great answer to our dilemma of wanting to visit Laughlin.

The trip up would take us through CA then back into AZ and finally cross over the Colorado again at Bull City. On the return trip we would stay in AZ all the way with a beautiful drive along the Colorado. We would just spend one night at the Riverside Hotel & Casino.

Here is a brief glimpse of the Laughlin landscape

The bus route stating at Yuma and followed US-95/AZ-95 to Parker, AZ where we crossed over the river to CA and US-95 all the way back into AZ to Bullhead City where we could cross the river again to Laughlin, NV. On the return we followed US-95/AZ-95 all the way back to Yuma with a nice lunch/trinket stop at Quartzsite, AZ.
