Making It Up as We Go Along

We had a plan. We always have 'a plan'. We also have learned that 50 percent of the time our plans change. 
So, the plan was to go to Blythe, California and stay for a week(ish). We had to take care of some responsibilities and it was on the way to where we were going to meet up with friends (a couple of weeks later). 

We pulled into Mayflower Park and immediately knew we did not want to be there for the week. It was an RV park style camp area (not our thing) and there wasn't anything to do. Since we hadn't made any commitments we decided to just stay for the night. 

We did get to stick our toes in the Colorado River, and we had somewhat functioning wifi for the first time in ages. 

The new plan~ the Grand Canyon. 

So, the next day we left Cali and stopped  in Nevada. It was, hands down, the WORST driving conditions we'd  had so far. While the scenery was gorgeous no one could appreciate it because it was super windy, dry, rough, and the rolly roads left us all with a little motion sickness.  
We stayed the night at Big Bend on the Colorado Park. Because we knew the camping at the Grand Canyon was dry camping, we had to fill up our water tanks and dump out our holding tanks. Also, after such a shit drive we needed the reprieve.
