After leaving Joshua Tree we headed up to Needles,Ca to take on supplies and do the laundry. We traveled east on I-10 to Blythe, CA where we headed north to Needles on 93. 93 is a winding two lane route that follows the Colorado river through the desert. Along the way we received sad news that Chrystal's step dad had past away. It is tough for her to be away from family at this time, but her mom insisted that we complete the trip as the memorial service will be after we return.
We arrived at the Needles KOA on a sunny warm day. The people here are awesome, the park is clean and quiet and the pool was cool. We enjoyed sitting out in our chairs having a brew and jawing with the "old retired" snowbirds across the way. We found a guy to work on the generator, who spent an hour and half running tests and swearing before deciding I had a defective oil pressure switch that he did not have in stock. I did a wire around and we are good to go, but short a 130 bucks in our budget. Cash only by the way.
We are gonna hang here a couple days before heading off to explore some sections of Route 66.
Sunny 78 and I am in my shorts.
Happy trails
