Ron had seen a sign for a campground that was 7 miles off the main road. He was wondering about it, so we decide to take a drive and go check it out. Well, we drove and drove and drove and eventually ended up on a gravel road. By then we knew we had missed the campground, or a sign that told us we should have made a turn. Oh well, we had a nice adventure and found this lake, don't know the name, that had several people camping around it. The signs say they can only stay for 10 days.
Here we are driving through the desert and I keep seeing these little white things along the side of the road. If you look at the bottom of the picture you can see them. At first I thought they were little white rocks, but then I looked closer and this is what I saw...
clam shells! In the middle of the desert there are clam shells? As you can see there are lots of them. We decided they must be a fresh water clam and they get beside the road when they dredge out the canal that runs beside it.
Another oasis in the desert. We just kept driving on the gravel road and ended up near the Yuma Proving Ground. This is the South Mesa Recreation Site at Imperial Dam. There is a boat launch on Squaw Lake and also some camping sites.
