We made it to Arizona, or at least we have been there! We are parked along the Colorado River in California across the river from Arizona. We have to drive to Arizona if we want a loaf of bread or even a beer! Weather is great, life is great, blah, blah, blah!
On the advice of friends and people we just met we decided to drive to the Desert Bar which we were told is down a dirt, desert road for 5 miles. Sounds crazy to drive 5 miles in the dirt for a drink, but OK, I’m game!
about 2 miles in this is what we see – miles of desert and lots of cars going to the bar!
This is definitely out there! 5 miles off the highway and nothing in between except an occasional cactus and a couple worn out RV’s near a shooting range! Yeks! Finally we find this place. It is only open from October thru April on Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 6 pm!
There is no cell service, they do have a well and lots of solar panels!
I was thinking more a shack!
The place is totally self sufficient and you can’t tell! There is live music, people from all walks of life and they pour a mean Bloody Mary! You only need two! The restrooms are very interesting. The women’s has an amazing view and the mens is a one room cave!
Not sure what the buckets were for!
Really!
The stalls are made out of solid sheets of steel and the back wall is the mountain!
We spent a couple hours visiting with some new friends and listening to some fun music and then it was time to take the trail back to civilization.
On our way back to California we see signs that say watch for the Burros and we saw a couple!
Check this out!
Good thing he has a girl picked out!
Paul saw this and had to stop! He says it was touching the ground. Paul is so impressed he will probably be talking about this in July!
