We have spent the last few days relaxing around the camp site and doing a bit of hiking. We are camped on BLM land so it is free camping, about 10 miles out side of Yuma, and about 6 miles from Foothills , a community just out side of Yuma.
When we arrived we chose a spot, and discovered we were camping beside David and Cynthia Holte, a couple from Lynhurst near Kingston that we had met here 2 years ago.
There are a few other Canadians in the park, 2 couples from Quebec, one from BC, a single guy from Alberta, and another couple who were originally from Ottawa but now live full time on the road. One of the couples from Quebec also live full time on the road.

Those sunsets are spectacular!
I'm often amazed how many things depend on the powerful Colorado River for survival... animals including wildlife, animal feed, human food, etc.
It would be fun to again meet the Kingston couple whom you met 2 years ago!
The email traffic about The Homestead Painting project was quiet today. Although I was away yesterday when much of it happened, it was fun to read what each of us was remembering! Of course, some of us are so much younger than some others - haha!!
