Tom, I didn't get that far north when looking for a new wintering site
although I traveled through La Vegas and Pahrump, NV on my way to the
Slabs. Pahrump had all sorts of possibilities with lots of RV parking,
good shopping potential, and for those who like to watch the green
stuff flow, plenty of casinos. Looking for other sites, I drove around
and looked at the Imperial Dam and nearby Colorado River LTVAs along
with some National Forests in southern Calif. I had wintered in
Coronado Natl Forest last winter, so I was more familiar with Arizona
than Calif, but I didn't want to stay at a crowded area like
Quartzsite nor did I want to move every two weeks as BLM requires (it
may not enforce this, however, from what I've heard). Turns out
there's a number of these small isolated RV parks in western Arizona
for reasonable cost: I'm paying $1 per night and I indicated earlier,
this place is great. If there's a downside to it, I haven't found it
yet and security is absolutely no issue.
