May 21
Today we are half way through or trip. I can’t believe it’s 3 weeks already.
We were up, had breakfast and left Bumbleberry by 7:30. It started to sprinkle as we were leaving. This is the first rain we’ve seen in three weeks but by the time we left Springdale it was nice again.
Driving I 55 through the upper left corner of Arizona were gorgeous rock mountains, Virgin River Gorge. This 29 mile strip is Mohave Country.

. 

We got into Las Vegas to have our 12,000 mile check at Subaru of Las Vegas. It was such a nice experience. Free coffee, granola bars and great service! We were back on the road by 10:30 to head over to the Hoover Dam, about 45 minutes from Las Vegas. When we arrived at the Dam it was 90°.  We walked around and took some pictures. Couldn’t take the tour because the elevators weren’t working.

We headed over to Willow Beach Campground which is way out of the way, down a winding road for about a mile after the check in booth. It’s on pretty Lake Mohave. Our site is very nice and set away from other campers.

After we set up we drove a short drive down to the lake. It was very cold but refreshing. Lots of kayaks paddling around.

We grabbed some sandwiches and went back to our air-conditioned pop up. About a quarter mile down the road Tom spotted some bighorn sheep so i grabbed my phone to get some pictures.
