We are in California….

 

Our Location:

BLM Ogilby Rd, Winterhaven, California 


 We had the wheels rolling this morning at 8:07 am, and finished dumping the tanks and depositing the garbage at La Posa South LTVA ( long term visitor area) by 8:38 am. We took AZ 95 south all the way to I-8 west in Yuma and it was shortly after 10:00 am when we entered California. Within 15 minutes we were searching for a place to put feet down. The two spots we had in mind are both occupied so we checked out a couple of others before settling into this one! We had everything completed for a quick setup inside and out by noon. At 12:15 pm I was chatting with Dad’s answering machine.


The Guns of the Proving Grounds.

Crops are just coming up here.


The roads were excellent, no slow downs or construction disruptions of any kind. Some new hardtop for a long distance, with only one very rough patch in the whole trip, 10 lengths of the rig at the beginning of Ogilby Road coming down the off ramp. It is always the same there. Ogilby Rd is getting a bit rougher as well but overall is good.


This one is closer to harvest.


It was a bit breezy when we were setting up. In Q the wind was steadily coming from the north, northwest since our arrival a few weeks ago. Today’s winds were from the south, southwest. Can you guess which direction we were heading? It was a slight breeze but really!


I never tire of this view.


Familiar views.

A very basic setup but we are relaxing, we both had a nap already.



We have a few plans for the next couple of days but I will not be posting for a bit. I do promise to give an update by weeks end.

Thanks for stopping by. 


Until next time…….


Take care, stay safe,


Deb

    1. No, nothing could see. The construction signs are around at looks as if there may be some upcoming work but we had no delays of any kind.

  3. Welcome to California! Hopefully the winds will settle a bit for you, if not the gas prices will certainly take your breath away! :)

    1. We are happy to be here. Funny it wasn’t gusty on the drive, nor after we arrived. We had a breeze of course it wasn’t noticeable until got out of the truck to find a spot to park.

    1. Thanks, the wind and rain aren’t here in our part of California, or at least not yet. We are close to where we were before, I can see the spot out our window.
