Here are some photos of our recent campsite in beautiful Joshua Tree National Park. The elevation was around 4000 feet, so nights were chilly, near freezing, but days weren't too bad when in the sun. We stayed in Belle Campground site 17. Our rig just fit. It was $15 a night, with no hookups.

We made our way yesterday from around 4000 feet up in Joshua Tree National Park down to below sea level in the Salton Sea State Recreation Area. Both are very scenic & peaceful, but the Salton Sea is a bit warmer. ;)

Anne and I spent our 1st wedding anniversary and 21st as a couple doing what we love, out in nature. Explored the Sonny Bono National Wildlife Refuge on the south end of the Salton Sea in California. Sunny, warm weather and a great day with my sweetheart. Can't beat that! When I met this Great Blue Heron, I wondered if it was a fellow BCer also doing the Snowbird migrating. :)

Made it today! Sunny Arizona!

We overnighted at Dateland last night. They now have a huge dirt lot in the back, and we asked if we could stay and got permission. It looks like trucks may use it, but it was pretty mellow last night. They also have lots of electric car charging stations. They have an interesting gift store, and we bought some dates, of course :) They also have date shakes. It's a good stopover between Yuma and Gila Bend on Interstate 8.

Beautiful evening boondocking in southern Arizona near Ajo. It has been much warmer and drier than the last few Decembers, and not too much wind. Hope that keeps up.

Got this closeup of a Costa's hummingbird today. What amazing little critters.

Merry Christmas everyone from our boondocking camp in southern Arizona! Hope you have a great holiday! Cheers, Ray

Had a nice Christmas day hike yesterday in the area around our campsite near the little town of Ajo in southern Arizona. I like this part of AZ because of the lushness of the desert landscape and surrounding hills, which makes for some scenic hikes. Also, one of the few parts of AZ with the cool-looking Organ Pipe Cactus that you can see on the left of this picture. Far off in the distance, you can see mountains located inside the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Our camper is in the middle of the photo.
