One of the best things about the RTR gatherings us that we get to meet and become friends with people who have had vastly different life experiences, who have lived all over the country and world, and who bring new and different ideas into discussions. When the RTR is over everyone wanders off to find camping spots which is how we ended up down on the Colorado River again, enjoying the good company of new and old RTR friends who discovered this great campsite.
The public land along the river is managed by three agencies – the Bureau of Land Management, Arizona State Trust, and the Bureau of Reclamation. Our camping spot happens to be part of the Bureau of Reclamation which, as I understand it, has basically the same rules as the BLM.
We really enjoyed this spot because it’s a short distance off the main road so we had no traffic passing by and it’s on the backwater channel of the river with lots of bird sightings. It’s also large enough for group camping. There are so many good camping spots along the river that it’s not very hard to find a suitable spot for any group or activity.

Boondocking on the river down there with friends was one of the best times I had.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth bouncing along the dirt road to get there. This spot was about 6 miles from the pavement.
DeleteGreat shot of the Heron!
ReplyDeleteThanks! He was pretty far away so I was surprised to see that I managed to get him in focus and the background out of focus.
DeleteIt was really wonderful to spend a few days with You, tony and the others. I can't wait to return this site!
ReplyDeleteGreat seeing you Cyndi! We found another good site at Mittry Lake but at the moment most of us are holed up on the BLM land by the VFW because of a brush fire that started at 4:00 this morning. Hope it dies down so we can go back!
DeleteI loved Mittry Lake. I'm all kinds of jealous!
DeleteTell everyone hi!
