Utah Lake State Park has been on our list for visiting for years but it seems we just never made it there. Plus some of the reviews I had read didn’t sound so great so we always put it off. Boy, are we sorry. We finally stayed here for 3 or 4 days and absolutely loved it. We wished we …

We departed Kingman and headed on to Nevada. We headed on towards Las Vegas and as usual, took the bypass through Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It is such a beautiful drive and peaceful and much nicer than driving through Vegas. We continued on through Mesquite and eventually back into Arizona going through the beautiful Virgin River Canyon area …

Seeing as it was December and the big crowds for Quartzsite had not yet arrived we thought Plomosa Rd BLM might have some wide open spaces. So we moved out of Hi Jolly BLM and went over to Plomosa BLM and scouted out a site with tons of room. YAY! We drove east on Plomosa Rd all the way to …
