     Very warm overnight 62 f at 5 am, nice to sleep with the windows open and so quiet except for the coyotes, and the wild burros around here. We have not yet seen the burros this year but have heard them and can see their hoof prints around our campsite.
       Got a few nice walkabouts this morning enjoying this wonderful desert place that we are really loving.
this is the place!
a place to hang out
very nice laundry room
just wanderng down the road
large chilola cactus (teddy bear)
a nice clubhouse and a puzzle for Patsy
huge library for a book exchnage
then right behind us Lake Wanna be, no water right now.
         About 9:30 we headed around the  corner to the Community Building to check out the flea market on Saturday mornings here.
amazing the vendors here in the middle of nowhere

  1. Love the desert, day or night. We found the shade to be the perfect temperature as well. I find the sun a bit too intense to take for too long. Just getting set up was enough time in the direct sun. Love the pics of Why. We will be checking out the area over the next few days. Love the bright moon, can see for quite a distance. Enjoy!
