Emerald Cove RV Resort, Earp, CA

The Colorado River

We have moved 50 miles north of Ehrenberg and we are still on the Colorado River, on the California side just north of Earp.  We don’t have a riverside spot but we are only one row off and we have a good view out our front window.  The scenery is much different here, the river is still as there is a dam downstream, and the water is just the most beautiful blue you can imagine.

RV’s backed up to the river

This place is huge, there are 800 sites so the place has lots of people. There are two pools with a bar between, happy hour is at 4:00 PM. They serve very good lunches also. There is a restaurant that serves breakfast and dinners, only one choice but it changes every day.

The area across the river has some lovely homes.

We have been enjoying the warm days and sunshine, sitting outside, playing cards and going for walks. This is really a nice place.

The river is so blue.

Yesterday we did the 50 mile drive to Quartzsite to go to the rv show.  What a zoo, very crowded, had to park out in the desert and walk back to the “big tent”. But it was fun and we saw some very nice rv’s, but we didn’t buy one. The wind came up and that made the drive back to Parker very interesting. It was almost like a snowstorm only brown, with drifting sand across the road, and reduced visibility, our first sandstorm driving experience.

It has taken a couple of days to finish this post, I keep getting distracted living the good life.
