Ehrenberg Arizona on the Colorado River

It was almost 10 AM yesterday when we left Camp Verde but we still arrived in Ehrenberg, AZ at exactly 2 PM. We stopped at 1 rest area on the way and averaged 9.2 MPG for the 231 miles we traveled which is pretty good considering the load we were hauling. Yesterday was also the first time that we traveled using the walkie-talkies and they worked flawlessly.

Because we were only staying the one night, we decided to leave the fifth wheel connected to the truck so we could make a quick departure today. Below is a picture of our site after we set up for the night:

The site was not spectacular but it was very long which allowed us to keep everything connected and still park the Jeep behind. We took a walk around the campground and stopped outside the clubhouse and took the following picture looking west, into California:

We stopped and talked to a lot of people while on our walk and discovered that, as you might expect, everybody has a unique story about their travels. It makes it interesting.

The only problem we had was with our satellite TV. It took us quite a while to lock onto the signals and we discovered that the problem wasn't the satellite receiver but the DirecTV receiver which just needed to be reset. Once we did that the satellite receiver locked on in a couple minutes.

We are getting ready to leave on our final leg today. Josie is packing some munchies and getting everything ready to go so we expect to leave here before 9 AM. That should get us to Ocotillo Wells by noon - we hope.

We'll leave this post with a picture of the sunset last night over the Colorado River:
