Ajo. Jan. 27th - 29th. 1 - 18 deg. Sunny less wind ten min. of rain.

 We drove down to Why to check out the RV parks, then we checked out Gunsight Wash BLM. It was decided to pass up this area at this time and head for Quartzsite. Back at Ajo, we found the land fill, got rid of some garbage, then hit the IGA. Back at camp, we went for a walk, Pat hugging a Saguaro, well, she was close.

Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range is just north of us, you can hear the jets but are very hard to see. I think a lot of the time they are down low, just below the horizon. So far I have no photos of them 

Quail were back this morning, finally got a picture.


You don't see a lot of wild life here, so it was nice to see them. Most critters around here are nocturnal and we are not.😁

Today we are heading for Gila Bend, and staying at Sonoran Desert RV Park. Dump, fill, laundry, then off to Quartzsite.

For those of you that have been laying in bed at night wondering what the final count was, here you go.  lol  All in all, other than the engine, it was a good trip. Some good weather and some not so good. We saw some new places and visited some of our old favourites. It is unlikely that we will go that far south again but you never know. The mileage above is kilometres.  This summer we will stick closer to home in BC. In May we will go the Grand Forks, then explore around there for a few days, July a get together with the kids at Fawn Lake in the Caribou. Then a trip somewhere in the fall. Winter trip done.

Trip North to home Mar. 20th - 24th. Cool rain, rain and rain.

 Not very eventful, did see a herd of Elk in Oregon. First night we stayed at Blue Ox RV Park, near Albany, very nice. Big wide sites, lots of shrubs and trees, very tidy. Next was Midway RV Park near Centralia Wash. I was contemplating getting fuel before heading to the RV park but decided to fuel up in the morning. Good thing, they only had overflow parking available and that is only two sites. They park you in the road along side the wash house, power and water is supplied. Another trailer pulled in after us and took the last spot. If I had stopped for fuel, we might have had to move on. We were happy to get this site. The topper is saggy because of the rain, looks nice but it rained most of the night. Next up the drive through Seattle, not my favourite but necessary. Bumper to bumper for awhile but we made it through to Bay View St Pk. We were warned not to let Jack out without a leash when we were here on our way down. As he was anxious to get out, we put his harness on him. I...

Boice-cope Pk., Oregon Jan. 3rd - 4th Same weather as before, with hail for good measure.

Our route so far. Boice-Cope is a beautiful county park, we are going to spend the day here. Last night it was quiet and dark,with no one right beside us, awesome. We have water and power, there are showers and there is a washer dryer for use. We don't use any of those but it is nice to see these amenities. Fairly open but a lot of space between sites.This has been the best campground so far. Oh, and it was only $20.00 US, until now, we have been paying $37.00 US plus a 25% surcharge for being a non-resident. Ouch. We just found out the price changed on Jan. 1st to $30.00, we owed another twenty but he would only take ten extra for tonight. We only saw the signage for the old price. A photo of the campground. Google map of the lake, we are camped were the blue dot is. We did get out for a hike but not to the ocean. The trail is completely flooded. Found some interesting history on our walk. Shots of the lake, the ocean is on the other side of the berm. Speaking of rain, we had lots...
