I got up this morning at 0600, temp was only 85, 72 in the camper. I know we keep bitching about the temps, but we just happened to be here when then are setting 10 -15 year records!
We left the RV around 0930 and headed back west to drive some of the old RT 66 we could not do with the camper in tow. Went back about 10 miles on I40 to the Old Rt 66 (which is now RT10) and headed to Oatman, AZ.
Here's a view views before we got into the mountains.
First stop was at Cool Springs Station. Google this it is interesting.

Cath and I both like this cactus, but have not seen it before. Some of them are 15 - 20 ft high!
Our favorite sign!!😄
Next few pics from this drive. It is a hairpin, switchback, narrow, no guardrail, steep grades, up and down road.....I hated it, but the sites are amazing! Did I mention white-knuckle?
This is the one pic we took in Oatman. It is a tourist town. We did not stop. There were mules (Jackasses) wandering the street. It reminded us of Wall Drug in South Dakota.
Temp 118, but it got to 122 an hour later. This while we were driving!
Headed to Lake Havasu City. Home of the London Bridge.
Here's the bridge.
A few more pics of the bridge.
Headed back to the camper and arrived at 1630. The ACs have been running all day and temp in the camper was only 94! We guess the camper ACs are not made for 120 deg temps. We will be happy to un-ass this area. We were going to have a lazy camper day tomorrow, but it is more comfortable in the truck, so we are going to Hoover Dam.
