We are spending most of the winter on the California side of Lake Havasu at Black Meadow Landing. We are located at the end of the road from Parker Dam and life is very laid back and peaceful.
We and our neighbors built a fire pit on the ledge in front of our motor homes. From this perch high above the lake we gather to enjoy visiting while watching the setting sun turn the landscape into a kaleidoscope of lavender and orange.
Sunset social hours around the new fire pit requires something other than congenial friends....firewood. Firewood is not sold on every street corner in the desert, so we jump into our Jeep and Ken and Betty's 4 wheel drive pickup and head out into the Whipple Mountains in search of wood stranded in the washes by the summer monsoons.
This trip we were rewarded with more than firewood. We had heard that the Whipple mountains which surrounds Black Meadow Landing is Big Horn Sheep habitat, but had never spotted them, We were running with top off the Jeep, which made it easier to spot the 5 Sheep high above us on the top of the ridge.
Life is so rewarding!
