Jimmy Smith bicycling along Hwy 95 north of Buckskin Mountain State Park, AZ. By Julianne CraneArizona Highway 95 between Parker and Lake Havasu City, for the most part, has a nice wide shoulder for bicycling.

Yesterday we bicycled a couple of miles north from Buckskin Mountain State Park to another state park to check out the boat launch. Today Jimmy is bicycling 12 miles south into Parker to grocery shop for Christmas dinner.

We were invited to a pot luck with three other RVing couples and we’re bringing the salad. Problem is, we don’t have enough greens for eight people; so, instead of breaking camp, Jimmy strapped on a couple of panniers and headed toward the nearest large market, Safeway.
