La Paz County Park - Parker, Arizona

Monday, January 27 and Tuesday, January 28, 2014

We left Quartzite and made a short scenic drive on I-95 to Parker, Arizona, where we lucked into a very comfortable waterfront site lined with palm trees on the Colorado River at La Paz County Park. It was fun to watch the variety of water crafts, hummingbirds, and the abundance of waterfowl. Quite the change from the desert. It was easy to spend two nights here.

Home for two nights

BBQ time

All three were from Canada

Hummingbird action at the neighbour's feeder

This section along of the Colorado River is called The Parker Strip.

Nice to have the Ramada (large overhead shelter)

Pontoon boat on an evening cruise. That's California on the other side.

Evening sets in......

....as the sun goes down on another perfect day.

Reflections on the Colorado River

Stars overhead. The set of three stars (upper centre)
are Orion's belt.

Nothing but big stuff here, except us

This one's for you Mark

The floating Roadrunner Restaurant next to our park

We're almost lost in the crowd

Didn't know a pontoon boat could hydroplane

Jet trails mark the sky

The Black Pearl Restaurant at the adjacent resort. Recognize the pirate?

A little fun with RV patio lights. 

Starburst LED lights

Funky palm tree.  Bet you thought I had one too many!
