#12 Ogilby Road in Picacho Recreation Area

We passed through the California border checkpoint with no issues and went just a few miles to Ogilby Road. An area frequented by winter RVers; not so much by summer ones. We have a kagillion acres all to ourselves.




Wind and 90 degree temperatures probably have something to do with it. But as they say it is a dry heat and as long as we're in the shade with a slight breeze then it is fairly comfortable.

It didn't take us long to unload the ATV and go exploring. 

Lots of mines in the area - some active, most abandoned

Unlimited riding potential

However Bleu was not impressed that we left her at the camper. 

We did venture out again the next morning and found water again. Seems we're getting good at that. Maybe we should start a devining rod business!!

While we only spent one night here, it has calmed any reservations that we have about going solo in the desert. We now know we can handle the heat, the off-road excursion and the isolation. We're ready to do it again. 

But our next stop is metropolitan. Looking forward to meeting up with cousins in Imperial Beach, just south of San Diego. We have reservations in an ultra-featured resort which may break the bank but will put us close to family and the awesome sites that SoCal have to offer. Can't wait for the next adventure.

Great Arizona sunset
