Friday at Camp--Saturday Drive to Ferguson Lake...

1/17/2015

 
(  Writing this from Yuma, AZ on January 17, at Mittry Lake. )
Friday the 16th, we mostly stayed home and cooked, though we did run to the gas station and looked around the lake some.
Picture
Date palms near the station.
Picture
We see a lot of signs advertising the best date shakes. Haven't tried one yet!
Picture
Sure makes you hungry!
Picture
At the boat landing the fishermen were done for the day and the birds had the place to themselves.
Picture
More and more were coming in.
Picture
Friday evening the sky lit up a pretty pink and baby blue at our camp. The camper beyond the tree is our closest neighbor.
Picture
From this angle the hill across the canal looks so much smaller than it really is.
Picture
Today, Saturday the 17th, we drove to some nearby BLM camping areas, looking for our next site. First stop was the areas on Senator Wash Road on the California side of Yuma. The areas that we liked were not suitable for our camper, either very unlevel or totally out in a wide open area with lots of big rigs.
Picture
We drove further down the road looking for the BLM at Ferguson Lake that we saw on the Benchmark map.
Picture
He didn't mind sharing the road with us.
Picture
It is so beautiful here. We will move here next week when our 10 day limit is up at Mittry Lake. And if David says he can bring our camper in here I'm sure he can.
Picture
And this is the sight we see after coming over the hill. Wow!!!!
Picture
I'm showing these pictures now because the signal probably won't let us blog from here if we move to this spot, and also because the place is so beautiful, we couldn't wait to show you. No editing, these are the colors we saw.
Picture
For six miles on the road into Ferguson Lake there is only room for one vehicle and not a lot of spots to scoot over to let someone pass. It will be so worth it though to be able to camp here for a week or two.
Picture
Tomorrow we are going to look at the area on Ogilby Road in California for more BLM land. It's only about 25 miles southwest of where we are now. Ferguson Lake is only 25 miles northwest of here. So both are good choices for these winter camping months.

                     With this lovely scene we will wish you goodnight.   Miss you all!

Wow Barb how beautiful! Light snow, gray and 30 degrees here today. Thinking of you and wishing you the best.
