Wednesday, February 23
I spent the day mostly inside the VRRV, well outside temperatures never got above 55° at best. Overcast skies, sporadic light showers and windy conditions made it an inside day for sure.
The day started pretty clear in terms of sky conditions and would steadily turn into solid overcast gray clouds. Before it did however I got this picture of a nearby cluster of campers with the ironically named fifth wheel:
Speaking of irony:
I used to wish for snow so I could gear up and go riding in the snow with my Ural Patrol side rig. Now I shelter inside and hope for sunny weather and warmer temperatures. I've become such a wimp when it comes to cold weather!
The solid overcast started to thin in the late afternoon and resulted in a decent sunset:

A coordination email with CCjon, here's his blog, led me to displace from the Gunsight Wash BLM site this morning. I was on the road by 10:30 AM and was setting up camp by 1:30 PM. It was perhaps 30 miles, no more, to the new campsite.
The plan is to meet with CCjon as he drives back from the Southern California area where he stashed his truck/trailer. He's back from a Motoventure trip with a bunch of riders into Baja California, Mexico you see.
He and I will be in the nearby town of Gila Bend tomorrow morning and meet up. I'm looking forward to it, it's been quite a while since I met up with Jon.
Here's pics of the campsite:

Another wonderfully remote campsite, apart and isolated from the noise of the world. If you were still a redleg, I suspect your days would be far colder and more hectic right now.
I wonder what Barry Goldwater would think?
Each time I decide to ride regardless of the temperature the sky drops another load of snow and ice here. Perhaps tomorrow will be ok for a little ride on the Vespa.
As always, beautiful images that help to soothe what ails me...
Sadly, Steve, I suspect you are right if I was still on active duty. Though I would be quite a decrepit looking red leg at that! :-)
Thanks for the comments and feedback, glad I am up some help, here's hoping you get some good weather soon.
