Sunrise to sunset another wonderful desert day.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
        Another wonderful desert morning to begin our day.  Sun peaking over the mountains to the east of us, right outside our dining room window. Gonna be another great day. By 8 am had my first mile of the day walked enjoying a few different roads and sights. Eventually got another mile done before lunch.
again love these desert sunrises
       One of my walkabouts I found this trail seldom used had been washed out with the rain a couple of weeks ago. But no campsites down here a nice quiet desert walk.
major water came through here
then I came across a couple of these pretty yellow flowers
with heart shaped petals
too cool
the quiet green desert
like most this is one huge we cared for sites here
good deal $650. 00 for 12 months
 
another area with this Ramada and shuffle board court next to it
love the yellow on this Barrel Cacstus
      After lunch a short drive down the road to check out the small casino and campground here.
lots of full hookup sites here, pretty busy right now
        Back home now to relax under our awning enjoying this wonderful warm sunny day 79F with next to no wind at all. Finished another John Sandford book and then right into the next page turner of this Prey series, Adventures of Lucas Davenport. Think I still have 12 more here to read. Really do love this weather and relaxing afternoons enjoying our books. I read a bit, putter around and read a bit more even a few short walkabouts as well. Actually got just over 3 miles walked today.
another great action filled read.
the weather and the scenery we love
      One of things I got done today was to use the Protectal on the front of our coach and the vinyl graphics. Helps keep the bugs off the front of our coach and UV protector in has been saving our graphics after 20 years of exposure. Easy on and easy off.
we good to go again when we hit the road
the bugs will slide right off
still looks pretty good I think
       Then  for supper tonight going to grill a couple of salmon fillets to go with our salad.
these cook nicely on foil
yup was very tasty
     One nice thing here is we have neighbour not far away the plays TAPS every night at sunset so we actually know when it is and can't miss it.
     And once again another wonderful desert sunset here.
      No complaints here at all with this amazing weather. 
      Thanks for stopping on by and hope y'all had a wonderful day as well.

    1. Thanks Lorne it took a year or 2 to get to here, with the polishing compound and Meguiar's wax to keep it that way a couple of times a year.

  3. Looking great there in your winter home. I thought your yellow flowers were a suncup, but the leaves do not look right. Perhaps one of your other readers can help us out.

  5. Never get tired of the sunrises and sunsets. The murals around Ajo are beautiful. All the wildflowers and green in the desert is wonderful. I am thinking all the rain in January was worth it.

  7. Looks like you are continuing to enjoy the nice weather at Why.
    I love the yellow flower on the cactus too.
    Good to get the coach front waxed - it should be called "Slide-Off Bugs!"
    Have fun!

  9. I would enjoy the playing of Taps every night. I think it's an amazing way to end off the day. A very interesting walk for certain, lots of green and those cute little flowers just added to it's beauty.
    I think your coach always looks fabulous. Continue to enjoy your time there in Why!!

  10. Beautiful area you are at. It is very reasonable for the year to stay but I presume it will get a bit warm in the summer, will it not? You have been down there so many times that you know exactly where to be at any given time. I enjoy your pictures.

    1. Thanks Marlene. it does get very hot here in the summer over 100F . We have learned over the years where to go for nicer weather, and it is all about elevation here in the desert the lower the warmer it is. Then it starts getting to hot move to higher elevation.

  11. Thank you for sharing all these desert photos with us. So lovely. I wonder how many others protect their decals. Good for you. Colin waxes our bus every year and we love the shine.

    1. Glad to share them with you., I like to wax ours twice a year. Coaches newer than ours have their decals destroyed by the sun if not protected.
