I rode out in the late afternoon on Yagi, my TW200, to check out a trail called Hole in the Wall Canyon. The trail begins 12 miles or so from the campsite, in the road surface was at times akin to writing on marbles but otherwise okay.
I did find two primitive camping sites, designated, that might work in the future but they are shaded early in the afternoon so there's that.
The Hole in the Wall
Six miles in, the end of the trail
Primitive Campsite H1
The Golden Hour started as I headed back to camp

As the sun was starting to show to the east, I broke down camp and displaced about a half mile further north away from the pads area. I'm expecting more crowded conditions as the weekend approaches and the weekenders show up.

Well about 10 rigs showed up by Friday night, not too bad but I'm still glad I moved further away from the pads anyways.
A partly cloudy morning as I worked to replace the 600w inverter that had finally failed this morning. I had been carrying a 500 w inverter has already spare. Installation was no problem and now I'm working on gathering materials to move the inverter inside the RV in order for the weather to be not such a factor.
The old inverter lasted 9 years, not too bad considering the conditions it was living in alongside the house battery in a compartment that's susceptible to dust and moisture:
Most rigs but two were gone by the afternoon. Only they would share the area with me overnight.
Saturday's sunset:
Dinner was some of my mother's roast pork. Yum!
Tomorrow, leaving California and going to western end of the Grand Canyon, near Meadview, AZ.
