Snowbirds Trip 02/22/2012--Lake Mead

Left camp and headed toward Mesquite but passed an RV park on Lake Mead and decided to stay.  I changed our reservations for Mesquite to postpone for a few days and we got a spot in the RV park. 

Walked around old town Boulder. Had dinner in Boulder at the Boulder Dam Brewing Company.  Ray bought a pint glass souvenir.

Snowbirds Trip 02/21/2012--Searchlight, NV

Another beautiful day.  We drove to Searchlight, Nevada and toured the museum.

We got gas at a place called Terribles and then checked email at McDonalds.  My iPad wouldn't work there at all and the connection on the laptop got cutoff.  We made reservations in Mesquite.

Back to Cottonwood cove and took a nap and took a walk.

Snowbirds Trip 02/20/2012--Cottonwood Cove

It was a nice, warm, sunny day.  We walked around the marina and out on the dock.  A guy came up and told us we could tour the house boats so we looked at all of them.

We walked around the beach and to the lower campground operated by the park service.  Drove over to Six Mile Cover beach.  

Met Wayne from Parowan who Spends 5 months of the year here at $400.00 per month and also spends 3 months each summer in Homer Alaska. 
Wayne has a Verizon mifi and a Wilson booster with a bidirectional antenna (sounds similar to what Jerry Etzold was telling us about).  Which Wayne says works well to get internet.  

Snowbirds Trip 02/19/2012--Cottonwood Cove

Pulled up camp in California City and headed to Cottonwood Cove campground at Lake Mohave, Nevada which is just down the road from Searchlight, Nevada (home of Harry Reid).

Snowbirds Trip 02/18/2012--California City

We did laundry at the RV park (which I guess is really in California City rather than Mojave).  It was really handy and the cost was $1.25 for washers .75 for 35 minutes in the dryers.  Pretty good deal.

We drove around the town of Mojave to see what was there (not much) and then tucked ourselves in for the night.  Ray's cold is not getting much better.

Snowbirds Trip 02/17/2012--Sierra Trails in Mojave

Packed up the trailer and left Cayucos around 10:30. 

 We headed for Tehachapi with plans to stay there, but there was snow on the ground when we got there so continue on down the road and went on to Mojave and camped at Sierra Trails RV Park.

Snowbirds Trip 02/16/2012--Pismo Beach

Picked up Dan and Viv and drove to Avila Beach, a small seaside community.  It is very picturesque and there is camping right on the beach.  We then drove to Pismo Beach and had lunch down at the pier.  Very nice here.

Later we went to dinner at Dan and Vivian's for our last night in Cayucos.
