March 27, 2021 Out Of The Way Campsite

Jacobs Landing Ranch Campground Dolan Springs, Arizona

I was walking along the river this morning when I spotted a coyote on the road ahead.  It stared at me and then finally moved on down the road. 

We left Parker this morning and started to travel north toward Vegas. We didn’t want to go all the way there today so we tried to find a campsite above Kingman.  The first campground was closed because of COVID.  This place was also closed but the owner texted me and very graciously offered to let us stay even though there would be no amenities and no one else here.  The website looked great.   We drove for 3 miles on a gravel washboard road and then were in a quandary about exactly which way to go.  We called the guy again and got better directions.

We ended up on a plot in the middle of the desert.  The lot was neglected and unkept.    To be fair, this is their offseason.  The owners plan to return in April and get ready for a May opening.  It was plenty nice enough to rest.

We took a good walk this afternoon.

As the sun went down this evening, the moon was rising.  It is almost full.

We look forward to some stargazing later on.
