Ogilby Road Camp, Winterhaven, California
In the previous post, you may remember, I skipped around our new campsite, blathering about this and that . . . “and this side I make into a sun room, blah, blah, blah.”
Pfffftt! Some sun room!
It has been rainy, foggy, and grey for two days at our camp!
Fortunately it isn’t bitter cold and it’s possible to enjoy walking outside.
Reggie and I go on brisk walks both days while Bridget remains in the Best Little Trailer, cozied up in the covers. The smell of damp creosote is everywhere.
Several washes, wide and narrow, cross this section of desert.
Here’s Reg in one of the wide, sandy ones. He really does love being in a new environment.
You can see from the photos that there is a lot of unoccupied land around us.
This is Bureau of Land Management public land.
The usual 14-day limit for camping applies.
Bridget does come outside for potty and for a change of scenery.
I take the next photo while standing in the wash. I don’t know how Bridget can bear to set her butt on the cold, wet ground. As for Reggie, he is perplexed by my behavior.
When I set up this camp I placed the camp chair in front of the refrigerator area in order for it to block the harsh rays of the sun.
Ha! “Harsh rays of the sun,” she says.
All I accomplished is having my nice camp chair rained on!
I didn’t anticipate the first rain which arrived during the night.
Therefore, the camp chair, the lounger, two doggie beds, two scatter rugs, and Pink Piggy (lying sadly next to the camp chair) are still outside and wet. Once stuff has been rained on, might as well leave it where it is.
There’s Bridget with her behind on the wet, cold ground again!
As I type this it’s the sunset hour.
The blanket of clouds block any sign of a setting sun. It’s raining again and the desert is drinking it up. The forecasters say “clear” for tomorrow!
