I'm at 3800 miles and counting. This trip will be well over 5000 miles.
A few things that have caught my eye during all these miles are the number of burn marks on the side of the road. I mean places where something has pulled off the road and burned enough to make a 20' diameter burn spot. I probably saw 15 on my way to Arizona. Second is the amount of tire bits on the side of the road. Every mile you see pieces of tires some small enough to fit in you palm, all different size, up to complete retreads that have come off. Between Phoenix and Havasu I saw three cars off to the side of the road with heavy damage to the left front quarter panel where I guess the tire exploded and took out the panel.
I've been back and forth between Parker and Havasu enough to notice the debris on the side of the road. Cooler covers seem to be the leader. I've seen seat cushions, towels and life jackets. Just about anything that can blow out of a boat I've seen.
Sunday I picked up a nice adult large life vest floating in the center of the river.
Here's a few more pics from the weekend.
There are four main watering holes on the river, Pirate's Den, Sundance Saloon, Foxes and Roadrunner .I like Pirate's Den best because you can park in protected water off the river. The others have these huge orange balls that keep you off the dock but your boat still bounces around alot.
I only stopped at Foxes (supposedly the #1 spot on the river) because it was late Sunday evening and there was not much river traffic.
