So peaceful here and after a great nights sleep up early as usual hopping for a nice sunrise and we were not disappointed.
 |
| what a wonderful sunrise to start a perfect day |
Then about 7:30 I headed out for my first walkabout enjoying the quite roads through this desert campground as the sun warmed the day and hit out solar panels charging our batteries. Fully charged by noon, gotta love it even with a few clouds here and there. No need to tilt our panel now at this time of year with longer hours of sunlight and the sun higher in the sky.
 |
| this a place we really enjoy |
 |
| the roads and trails so nice |
 |
| looks like this Cholla is making babies! |
 |
| love the views |
 |
| this guy is still trying to catch the big one here |
Next walkabout around the park, over to the Why Not store, just because I could, always like to check it out there.
 |
| Why Not? |
 |
| love this old truck when the water is flowing |
 |
A coyote still hanging out here
people must feed him |
Now with this intense sun we had own awning opened by 10 am and even though it was only 65F and a 5 mph wind from behind us, we needed some of that shade, nice to be able to still wear shorts. And enjoy this weather.
 |
| what a perfect place to hang out |
 |
| over view , not to shabby |
After lunch a couple more miles around the campground enjoying the scenery and quiet here with this desert place we enjoy.
 |
| they even have a handicap washroom and shower here as well |
Now enjoying the shade and our e-readers on a perfect spring day, watching the wild life, Today only this tiny critter that kept popping out here and there, Did manage to get a quick shot , not great but there he is.
 |
| not sure what he is but cute and quick |
A bit later saw some Gamble's Quails skitter on by but too quick for me to get a picture, Always love to see and here them here in the desert.
 |
| we do have a nice spot |
A bit later I prepped some Baby back ribs for our Weber Q that we like to do with sauerkraut , for the recipe you can click
here or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
 |
after a couple of hours low and slow, glazed them on our grill mat
with our favourite BBQ sauce |
 |
salad, kraut and fall off the bone sticky ribs
awesome! |
Supper done and now to enjoy a wonderful desert sunset after a perfect sunny desert day.
How can we get so lucky? To be able to enjoy this weather and living our dream.
 |
| not bad at all, we will take it |
Ok we had a great day no rain, enough sunshine , warm enough for shorts, no bugs, no wind, no rain. Wonderful sunrise and sunset, and a tasty dinner with my honey. Does not get much better than this.
Thanks again for stopping by and I just know you had a wonderful day as well, wherever you are.

Where have we been this winter ?
Got to have a coyote at Coyote Howls. Looked liked he was going for a Raven for a snack. Still nice and warm your way. I think we all are going to have a day or two of cool next week, but that's okay.
ReplyDeleteContinue to enjoy one of your favorite places.
Thanks Doug a few coyotes around here, and some burros are in the area as well. Cooler is ok as lone as we have sunshine, sure beats the cold and snow back home.
DeleteGlad you get up hopping. That must be an early to bed, early to rise thing!
ReplyDeleteYes Kevin it is gotta get outta bed hopping everyday.
DeleteLove the views there, always something to see.
ReplyDeleteDinner looked excellent as always.
I agree with you, looks like the rain is over now, no snow, no bugs, the biggest issue is what to wear, shorts or long pants. It doesn't get much better.
Enjoy your stay!!!!
Thanks Deb, we will enjoy it here.
DeleteThe views are very nice, we have been lucky with no rain yet, most every day is shorts once the sun comes up. I agree it doesn't get much better than this.
It does sound like a nice and peaceful place to spend some time. Tom and I are looking forward to checking it out next month when we start the slow trek East.
ReplyDeleteIt is a place we enjoy hopefully not too many people here. It could be getting quite hot here next month keep and eye on the weather, we are one a very slow trek east now.
DeleteWe had the best time in that area a few years back. We totally missed the old car water falls. Pretty cool. Enjoy your adventure.
ReplyDeleteWe do enjoy this area so peaceful. The old car waterfall was not here last year that's why you did not see it.
DeleteAnother great place to park. I think I'm going to copy your map so I know where to go!!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy it here, boon docking with facilities and very reasonable even lots of activities if you are so inclined.
DeleteWe've overnighted at Coyote Howls West with FHU for $20, which I thought was a fair price with good WiFi. On the East side it looks like there are lots of boondocking spots and more 'character'. The 'coyote and the crow' - I think there is an Indian legend in that pair.
ReplyDeleteWe have checked out CH west but like this much more for $40.00 a week with good wifi most of the time.
DeleteThere is a legend about the coyote and the crow this be the link http://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/Coyote-And-Crow-Yakima.html.
Great sunrise and sunset pictures! so pretty..The coyote looks well fed, not like most that you see, all scruffy and thin. Too bad people are feeding him obviously. I can see why you like that park, great amenities but you still have a lot of space..nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice place to spend some time, more space than a campground and very reasonable.
DeleteIt looks like a nice peaceful spot you have and are enjoying. Natural to see a coyote there!
ReplyDeleteRibs look good, I should ours out of the freezer so we can have them tomorrow. No sauerkraut though, Bill doesn't like it anyway.
Keep on enjoying. We got lucky yesterday too with just the little bit of sun we had, we were fully charged early too.
It is a great spot that we enjoy here, sure glad we found it. Yup we always see a coyote or 2 when we are here. The ribs awesome a nice treat we enjoy. Suzie does not like sauerkraut either but likes the ribs done this way. Glad you got some sun and are good to go again.
DeleteLove the car water fall photo. You are fortunate to have chosen this life still and to have adapted to it so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThe car waterfall is so neat love it !
DeleteThis lifestyle is what we really enjoy sure glad we went this route it is amazing!
It seems like every day is the best day ever! What a blessed life. You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter every day we can enjoy this life style is the best ever. Upright, breathing and loving it, I agree we are blessed.
DeleteYup, warming up nicely here in SC. Won't be long and my motorcycle will be rolling down the road with me on it. :c)
ReplyDeleteGlad it is warming up there finally, and your on you motorcycle would make life perfect !
DeleteI ove that truck waterfall, it looks really neat. Glad the weather is good..the past few days here ninth Gulf Shores area it has been in the mid 70's...great. As always, your supper looked very appetizing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, love hanging out here in this area of the desert, Weather here perfect so far supposed to cool down for a few days. But sunny so no problem here at all
