We left the Palm Springs Thousand Trails this morning and headed east. First we stopped to top off the fuel tank and then the propane tank at the nearby Travel America Travel Center. (expensive place!) Then started driving east.
We found a quiet place on the BLM land set quite a ways back off the freeway and established camp. It's beautiful and quiet and no busy neighbors.
Here is the view upon stepping out of the door. It is pretty much the same view in every direction. Desert, mountains, blue sky and no people.
We opened all of the windows and enjoyed the light breeze and fragrances from the trees and vegetation.
And for Jacob and Emma, papa Doug took this picture of a new friend. (His....not mine)
In the early evening, Doug set up the satellite dish and we cranked up the generator to watch tv for a couple of hours and use the computers. Our Xantrex inverter is not working properly so we will be using the generator for power until we can find a place to repair it.
But, that's ok too. The generator is relatively quiet and provides all of the power we need. At bedtime, the sky was covered with stars and the night was pitch black. It's amazing how different things look away from the bright lights of civilization. And how quiet the night can be.
