Where Did the Jello Settle

Where Are We Today

Davis Camp Park

Bullhead City, Arizona

Here is where the Jello settled, Davis Camp Park, Bullhead City Arizona. We have seen this park many times, but have never camped here before. We have a membership park here but need to book 3 days in advance to get in, so we will spend two nights here then move a couple of miles to the membership park for 5 nights.

Sunrise behind us

This morning we left the Fire Rock Casino at 6:45 a.m., continuing our trek across I-40. Twenty-two miles down the road we crossed into Arizona, hitting about 100 miles of the roughest section of I-40 so far, after that we had sections of new pavement and fairly smooth older sections. It is great to see that all the states we have passed thru are now repairing I-40, this is the best I have seen it since we started coming down here in 2016.

We were still at elevations over 7000 ft today, travelling across the upper plains, thru The Petrified Forest, Winslow, (Standing on the Corner in Winslow Arizona, by The Eagles), The Coconino Forest, the Kaibab Forest and the Navajo Indian Territory. Eventually we arrived in Kingman where we leave I-40 for State Hwy 68 to Bullhead. There is a significant drop in elevation and then a rise before the 12 mile drop into Bullhead, where trucks must reduce their speed to 50 mph, this is a 6% grade of twist and turns. Looking down into the valley, you can see where Bullhead lays along the Colorado River, which divides Arizona and Nevada. Across the river you can pick out the casinos on the other side in Laughlin, Nevada.
