Last Three Days of Pearce Ferry Boonndocking

Saturday, April 8 and Sunday, April 9

Much resting and laying about listening to audio books.  I did take off the intake valve cover off of Yagi's engine to confirm the lock nut remained in place:

I determined there's only one spot where the new omnidirectional antenna gets a cell signal "reliably".  At least, for this particular campsite.  Not bad considering the nearest cell tower I've determined to be 12+ miles away in Meadview!


Some photos during the golden hours



Monday, April 10

Last full day of boondocking.  It was Scarlett's turn for a ride after I swapped out her suspect battery for a new one I received from Amazon.

Hottest day of the year so far for me...91F outside/97F inside!

Down by the Colorado river


A view of Scarlett from one of the other campsites near mine.  See the area with green vegetation behind the rig?  Lori Z. confirmed it used to be under water, in fact water used to reach all the way to the campsites!


More "Golden Hour" pics:





Tuesday, I head into Meadview.  I'll be parking my VRRV and trailer with associated motorcycles at Lori Z's mom's place for a bit over a week.

I'm going to be visiting my folks in the San Francisco Bay area.  I'll be staying with my brother and his family in Palo Alto, CA.  There will be more siblings and a couple of Uncles meeting up on Sunday as well.  More to follow.

That was a nice quiet spot for you. Now off to frantic SanFran... enjoy the family time.

I think I'd rather be flying to Cuba, CCjon.

Have fun in the bay area! (Nice place to visit once and a while)

And, I like the antenna location

Visiting family in the big city will be quite the contrast from this serene scenery. I hope you can still enjoy your family time. Cheers from the other side of the pond, SonjaM

RichardM, it's that position which led to the previous antenna being damaged. As to the Bay Area....kind words escape me.

Yes, wildly different and mostly disturbing, SonjaM.
