I had an enjoyable two days at Roosevelt Lake. It is nice to go back to a campground where you know how to get around and are familiar with the area. So many times I have stopped at someplace, and a day later, found a nicer one. This time I drove in and parked like it was home.
I was talking with another camper that explained to me how the season works for camping here at the lake. During the winter, you can stay for up to six months, while the summer season is limited to a 14 day time limit. I don’t know if I have found anyplace that is nicer than here for the price. I keep thinking that it would sure be nice to have a boat, but I don’t have anyplace to carry it. No Richard – I’m not getting a trailer!
Tonight I am in CA, just south of I 10, at a LTVA called Willey Wells. I was a little disturbed when the road passed a California State Prison and I met two Border Patrol vehicles within a mile of the campground. The camp host assured me that the escaped prisoners always run north to the highway and the illegal Mexicans pass through without bothering anyone. I’ll lock my doors and sleep light tonight!
The camp host was very nice to me. After I explained that I was just spending the night, she said, “Go ahead and pick a spot – I won’t charge you.” There are not many RVs here and the road was pretty bad for the last few miles, but the park is in a nice area and she made me feel good about California with her generosity.
Sure. We’ll see. Looks like you’re only about 40 miles from us, but you are farther west than we are! We found 21 geocaches today.
I would have expected that the policy at Roosevelt Lake would have been reversed: Limit your stay in the winter, but stay as long as you want in the summer. I don’t think I would stay very long in the summer at all. It’s a little higher than Phoenix, but still pretty hot.
Right Daryl! People will endure a lot of heat as long as they are near water.
