Friday-wonderful sunrise and moonset

1/29/10 – Friday




This morning we awoke to a sunrise and moonset! The moon setting was the same orange-red glow of the sunsets here. The brilliant colors were in the East with the sun and the Northwest with the Moon. Sorry to tell you this but it was 50* at 7 am this morning!

Many of the RV’s in our area have left. Right now there are 12 counting us. It is less crowded and feels like we have more privacy.

In the center are 4 RV’s arranged in a square so they have a small communal area to themselves. This is just an open flat area marked off as a designated camping spot beside the road. There is an identical area about 30 yards up the road from us which is closer to the main road. These areas are 1/6 miles from the exit road off interstate.

Directly at the end of the exit road is the LTVA which is a pay area. Here they have lots of room for privacy if they choose that. No assigned camping spots – just stop where you please. If you decide you don’t like where you are parked, then move. Simple rules.

I have seen some of the most outstandingly awesome sunsets while we have been here. Thomas says that it is that “big sky” thing where you can see for miles before the horizon. Tonight’s sunset started with the Chocolate Mountains turning a burgundy color. The sky followed with the bright pink turning burgundy and then exploding with vibrant oranges and reds. The painted sky continues to expand and brighten. The color vibrates more than 180 degrees around you. There is no way to describe in words or even capture by camera the beauty that unfolds on most nights here.


Wish you were here!
