We have moved to a new campsite. We are now near the U. S. Army's Yuma Proving Grounds. It's about 20 miles from Yuma and out in the desert on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Land. We have crossed to the west side of the Colorado River, so are actually in California. Just to the left of the helicopter you can see some tiny white dots. Those are RVs camped out in the desert.
We are following Norm and Rosemary as we drive to our camp. We are in the area called Florida Flats. Doesn't look much like Florida does it? Again, like in Quartzsite, you just find a spot you like and park. Like they say, "Wherever you park it, it is home." It costs $40.00 to stay on BLM land for 2 weeks. They do have a sewer dump and a place to get water. Once again, notice the nice road. We were not here during the storm, but we could see it was nothing but mud.
On our way to camp we saw these 2 burros. They occasionally walk right through the camp area. They sure don't seem to be afraid of people. You are not supposed to feed them, but I have a feeling some people do as they think we might have food for them.
This is a picture of our camp area. We are definitely on the top of the world here. You can see our coach on the left, then Norm and Rosemary's and then a friend of theirs.
As the sun sets it touches on the mountains around us. It really is beautiful.
