After yesterday’s wind and rain, the air is crystal clear, and skies are blue. It’s also warming up as the days goes on and it’s one of the nicest days we’ve had for several weeks. Justice went for a dip at the dog beach, and along with us, relaxed at the campsite all afternoon.
We soaked up the rays and read our books. On occasion, a camper neighbor stopped by the chat. A couple from the State of Washington who also own an Airstream, stopped by to compare notes. Later, a giant Class A pulled in across from us and after talking to the couple, we learned their camper was formerly a Greyhound bus that was gutted when they bought it. They finished the inside and had the outside painted too, it is massive, and we can only imagine what the inside looks like. They are from the Sedona area of Arizona (wealthy community) and are camping at Buckskin Mountain. Sedona and north of it, are currently blanketed in snow and most offices, schools etc. are closed for the day. They also told us that since their camper is 45′ long, it limits the campsites that are available, and they have to make reservations 1 year in advance at select locations. They also have a dream of buying an Airstream and remodeling it – at some point.
We talked to another couple who camped at Joshua Tree National Park last week when the snow hit the region. They woke up with 6 inches of snow on their camper and said most of the campground was deserted.
Ron was able to capture a couple photos of Tree Swallows in flight. Those little birds are really fast and are constantly flying, never landing! We also took a few more of the Vermillion Flycatcher, it’s orange red feathers are so striking!
Without connectivity it’s early to bed to read before we fall asleep. Tomorrow, we head west to California and Joshua Tree National Park – one of our bucket list campgrounds!
