Travel Day

Where Are We Today
Nov. 4th,2022

BLM Pilot Knob

Long Term Visitor Area

Winterhaven, California

 

Today was a travel day, from Bullhead City Arizona to Winterhaven California. The route taken, involved travelling on AZ. State Hwy 95 to Courtwright Rd/Cou. Rte. 1 to Oatman Hwy/ Cou. Rd.10 to Int.40E to Az. State Hwy 95 and finally Int.8 to Exit 164 and Sidewinder Rd which ends at this boondocking area. A distance of 232.4 mi.

Pilot Knob Mt. Winterhaven Ca.
Google maps would have taken us down thru California, I don’t like that route, so that is why the deviation on Courtright Rd. This route keeps us in Arizona, taking us thru Lake Havasu City, Parker, Quartzsite and Yuma.

Buttercup Sand Dunes, just west of Ogilby Rd
( For the Bayfield Bunch)


We will spend a week here before checking into a campground near Yuma. Thanks for stopping by, until the next time, take care .

      Thanks Deb, we have visited out Ogilby Rd but only being here for a short time is better for us at Pilot Knob.

    I didn't know they were called the Buttercup sand dunes, But I do now. Yes, I am well familiar with where you guys are at. My heart aches for the southwest so bad. Enjoy your time there because it's a real sledghammer feeling when one can't go anymore.

      I didn't know either, got the name off of Google maps. I am sure you miss the southwest as I know we will when we can't come anymore.

    We have disagreed with Google Maps in the past, also. Much prefer the route you took. The bonus you get to see the hand waving. Enjoy your stay in that beautiful spot.

    I always found Hwy 95 from Needles down to the Parker turnoff was such a nice drive. Just gotta watch out for fast drivers. Either way, it's beautiful scenery!
