ROADRUNNERS LAUGHLIN CAMPOUT NOV. 13 - 16 2014

The members attending were the Williams, Holz, Stones and Strongs with Jeff Clyde. Fusts could not make it due to an electrical problem with their motor home. The campout began on Thursday and extended to Monday due to high winds on Sunday with high profile vehicle warnings. We were parked at the highest level at the Riverside Casino RV park, so we did not have the protection from the wind enjoyed by the RVs parked at a lower level. The pictures are taken in my cell phone camera.

Our  rigs were parked together near one of the restrooms on the top level.

This 5th wheel at left is pulled by an old but restored semi tractor.  The owners are full-timers, and, not surprisingly, he was a truck driver.

Here is the level of the park next to the top level.  The spaces are quite large and nicely equipped with the full hookups.

One day we took a short cruise on the Colorado River. Shown are Barb Williams, Jeff Clyde, the Holz’s daughter Barbara, and Jo.

This and the next two shots are of some of the casinos of Laughlin. The one  shown above was built by Don Laughlin and the first one built. Mr. Laughlin also built the  main bridge across the Colorado River so employees who lived in Bullhead City on the Arizona side and the visitors easily could get to his casino. He donated the bridge to the states of Nevada and Arizona.

On the Arizona side of the river are nice waterfront homes.

On another day we visited nearby Oatman AZ, an old mining town something like Jerome AZ. A big difference is that wild burros have learned that if they mingle with the tourists they will get handouts of pelletized hay,so several can be found there every day. Left to right, Tom and Elsie Holz, Maxine Stone, Jo, Keith Stone and Mike Williams.
