A lazy day just puttering around.

Where are we today ?

Quail hill Imperial dam LTVA

         What can I say just another great day. No plans just let the day unfold. Early morning walkabout new places to explore is just wonderful. Got over a mile done then home by 8 am.

so peaceful here

down by the canal over the berm

Heading home this burro watching me

need solar?they have it here

       Cruising around this area some many nice places to camp here.

washrooms and cold showers

        A drive across the dam you can dry camp here in a parking lot

for $15.00 a night. Not sure why because we can camp where we are for $40.00 for 14 days and other LTVA areas as well, same permit we had in Quartzsite and many other areas.

          Back home again the burros like this trailer behind us,

Looks like mom and 2 kids

          Then at 10 am we drove down to the thrift store here by the Christian Centre. About a 1/2 mile away to check it out

Propane sold here 

thrift store with lots bargoons

            Now home for lunch and putter around for a while. I am having an issue with the lights on our towed. Check things out tested and fooled with this for a couple hours, partly working but not all done. Gotta sleep on it some more to see if I can come up with a solution. Yes the ground wire is good seems to be a problem in the coach somewhere. This could be a nightmare.
            That's it, time to relax, have a shower and get some quality reading time in the shade enjoy this magnificent view.

       Soon time to fire up our Weber Q 100. Grill another 5 lb chicken we picked up the other day. Good deal for only $3.93. we will get a lot of mileage out of this bird.

80 minutes of the Q = perfect !

add to a salad and we good to go,
lots leftovers

and another great desert sunset

      We heading out in the morning to Hot Springs Holtville CA LTVA for a few days in the morning, visit some friends and check out the Carrot Festival in Holtville CA as well.
     That's it we done for the day. Thanks for stopping by.

      What a wonderful quiet night we had! Cold overnight but great for sleeping. Love this area we found at Imperial Dam. So many to choose from you just need to find one that suits your needs. Not bad for the $40.00 for 14 days dry camping and they do have dump stations, water and garbage disposal included. With that fee we can move to numerous LTVA (Long Term Visitor Areas ) through southern Arizona and California. The views and wide open spaces are amazing! Yep it can be busy but you can always find a quiet spot for yourself.

The sun is rising soon

         Hiked up over the berm in front of us and our coach is  down there, so peaceful.

That's us all by ourselves

Water tower across the canal for Patsy

sunrise from the berm

      Then I took a ride in the car to explore some of this huge area. And up by Senator wash is the lake, beach camping ($15.00 a night).

Very busy area we don't much care for,
no cell phone for us here

4 dump stations

8 water fill stations

more lake views

     Then Suzie and I took a ride over to Mittry Lake about 6 miles away. Its a free area but did not really appeal to us. There was afire there recently and was pretty barron.

boat launch ramp at Mittry lake,
nice if you have a boat

        Back home for lunch a few more walkabouts and enjoy the afternoon in the shade enjoying our e-readers.

love our view

      It was so nice out I even trimmed my hair and beard, with Suzie;s help doing the final touch ups.

     Then you know the routine time for supper. Tonight a couple chicken Bratwurst from Hermann MO.

            Added a couple sweet peppers stuffed with cream cheese,and a bit of sauerkraut I had in the fridge to enjoy with our salad and rice crackers with garlic hummus.

sure hit the spot

        Then as supper was winding down, another nice Arizona desert sunset to wrap up the day

      That was it for a day that just passed us by again, sure beats the alternative back home and inside most of the time all winter. Sunshine, warm weather and so quiet.
       Glad that you came by today again for a visit, nice to hear from y'all.

Imperial Dam LTVA

         What a great nights sleep we had and taking our time this morning before we hit the road. Got my one mile walkabout done by 8 am. Packed up a few things while Suzie had her shower, Our friends John and Barb were on their way to the Yuma area and did our "see ya laters".
           We secured the coach then to the dump station, and refill our fresh water, into town top up or propane and fuel tank. Picked up Suzie hooked up the car and had lunch at 11:30 am.
            Now heading on down the road only 71 miles to go so no rush.

gas $1.82 a gallon

         Used only 13 gallons of gas for our genny in the last month and $8.00 propane for the last week not to bad at all!

on the road again

        Turned right at the Yuma proving grounds heading into Imperial Dam LTVA.

         Got here shortly after 1 o'clock. and found a nice spot. But no cell phone service, disconnect the car and cruised around for a while. Eventually we went to Quail hill and got pretty decent reception here. And an amazing campsite to boot ! Nobody close to us and an excellent view as well. really hard to beat this!

Quail hill

       Set up here tilt the solar panel and below is the view from the roof.

          We good to go here what an amazing spot we snagged. So quiet no road noise no noise at all! No generators, just the odd airplane overhead wow! We struck gold!

beautiful view

here we are just us

       Shorts, t shirts and sandals, enjoy our  e books, love it !
       Soon time to whip up supper. Tonight a couple pan fried Tilapia fillets, acorn squash on the Q and a salad= perfect .

good yes

a nice sunset to boot

        After supper took our garbage to the dumpster. Looks like we had a dumpster guard here! Making sure we have a permit maybe?

he/she also has a few backups as well

         That was our fun day always interesting things to see and do. Hope you had a fun day as well, Thanks for stopping  by. We plan on being here for 3 nights, but then who knows for sure? we don't.
