We Make It To Arizona!

We left Sierra Trails this morning and headed east towards I-40 across the Mojave Desert. It wasn't long before we started seeing our first yuccas.


And not much later, we began to see the groups of cholla cacti -


After a long day of driving, we finally came to the Colorado River, the border between California and Arizona.


It's always good to see the first Arizona sign -


Our next sightings were the Ocotillos. Note how green they are after last week's rains! They normally look just like brown sticks during the dry season.


And then the Palo Verde trees. Literally translated as "green branches", they are seen all over the state.


As we neared Kingston, we began to see the red rock and bluffs that say "southwest" to me.


We stopped for the night at Blake Ranch RV Park and Horse Stable, about twenty miles east of Kingston. We'll continue on tomorrow - unless we jiggle the jello and decide we need a rest day.
