Move to Mittry Lake Wildlife Area....

1/14/2015

 
(  Writing this from Yuma, AZ on January 14. )
Today is Wednesday the 14th, our third day at Mittry Lake.   We left Darby Wells Road early Monday morning and traveled west about 200 miles to our new boon-docking site at 
Mittry Lake just outside of Yuma in the very southwest corner of Arizona.  We lost our beautiful sunsets and most of the cactus but we gained palm trees and warmer weather.  Oh, did I forget to mention the lush farm fields?  I can't stop taking pictures of the crops.

Heading north on AZ-85 to pick up west bound US-8 in Gila Bend.

We like pictures of old vehicles like these in Gila Bend.

How about a far out restaurant and motel?
Picture
Or here's a great little gift shop for sale!

 Someone must have known we would already be missing the Saguaro and planted this one for us.
In front of a gas station!

Cotton is one of the major crops in New Mexico, we wonder if Arizona grows a lot of it also? This is a double tandem trailer, huge.
Picture
The farther west we go on US-8, the more farms we see.
Picture
This is on the road we turned on to reach Mittry Lake.
Picture
Our first night was on a not to desirable spot with lots of mosquitoes.
Picture
It was very beautiful but the next day we looked for a place that wasn't near so much marsh area.
Picture
We contacted a man we met in New Mexico that we new was here at Mittry Lake, and he told us about a spot near the canal, a half mile up from the lake.
Picture
We love it here, it's so peaceful.

David put up our Wilson antenna to boost our internet signal.

This afternoon, on the way back from filling our water jugs, we stopped at the canal for pictures of this Egret.

As the sun sets on our little hill, we say good night. Love, Barb and Dave
