Lake Mead Rec Area

Here we are again at the Lake Mead Recreation Area. When we arrived a few weeks ago, we met up with friends at Government Wash. It's wonderful to be part of a loose-knit community of friends. Even though we are camped in a dispersed camping area, there is someone here who looks after our rig when we are away and worries about us when we are late in returning. We plan things together from time to time, but mostly we each do our own thing. We have stayed here several times before, but there is always something new to discover.

We enjoyed watching this Vermilion Flycatcher all one day as he cleared the area around our rig of many insects.


Amazing colors!


These coyotes ambled by our site one afternoon.


When this one spotted us standing outside, it let us know he was aware of our presence.


The view from our rig.


Another gorgeous sunset.


Looking across the sky the same evening, we watched the full moon rising.
