| Cottonwood Cove Campground |
As we drive along the road following the Colorado River North towards Boulder City, NV we decide to spend a night at Cottonwood Cove Campground near the small town of Searchlight. The 14 mile road from Searchlight to the campground winds us through a remote desert landscape with Lake Mohave shimmering in the distance. We pass an RV park, a motel and a marina as we head to the small campground tucked into a little cove-like canyon at the far edge of the parking area. We manage to thread the needle with Biggie, squeezing her into a tight spot before setting up.

Campgrounds have their own energy and personality. Cottonwood Cove challenges us to settle in and relax, and we just can't find our flow. Maybe it's the relentless, dry desert wind, maybe it's the lack of hiking trails, or maybe it's the total-fail dinner mishap when our hamburger patties fall apart and crumble to the bottom of the grill, but we all three decide that we are done with the desert for awhile. We crave mountains, alpine lakes, meandering streams, and pine trees. Throwing our sweaty, wind-chapped bodies on top of the bed, we sleep....We roll on!
