Greetings from the desert just south of Quartzsite AZ. The last 10 days
we've parked on free BLM land, livin' 'off the grid'. It's been a
great opportunity to check out our systems for 'boondocking', that is
relying on our solar, generators, fresh water storage, and MiFi & satellite internet. The solitude has
been most welcome after spending most of our time in RV parks -- we
have NO neighbors visible from our trailer! The sights from here are
low mountains on 3 sides, and desert vegetation including sagauro and other cactus, and incredible sunrises and sunsets.
Every day we've taken long hikes in the desert, and in the gold-mining
foothills to the west. Evenings have been cozy, reading [no TV for
Jamie!], and enjoying our propane furnace & the heat it puts out.
It's been chilly the past couple days, lows in the low-30s and highs in
the 50s (my apologies to those of you who are living in the icebox!).
Right now, at 5:00 pm I'm sitting outside with a glass of wine and doing
my last little computer work before stowing my laptop for the journey
to Ajo AZ tomorrow.
