Alamo, Arizona
Alamo Lake State Park
There was a week before Steve's final eye check to see if we could finally head back home to prepare for our Alaska Trip. We joined my brother and sister-in-law back at Alamo Lake.
The Alamo Dam is 283 feet deep and the dam is 970 feet long.
We were here before and really enjoyed this time of year. It's warm and the Brittlebush was in full bloom, carpeting the entire area in yellow!
Our site in the E Loop. No utilities but closer to the lake and much more private.
My brother's site across from us.
Since poor Steve can't fish, hike or even ride in the kayak, my brother and I went fishing while he took walks around the camp loops.
There's lots of brush in the water which makes great fishing.
We caught several Large Mouth Bass.
The Cranes and wild donkeys were everywhere.
Loud Fellow!
Love those yellow feet!
Beautiful sunsets to enjoy after Diane got finished working and dinner was over.
Stuck in the mud with a broken axle.
We stopped in at a little cafe/bar in the middle of nowhere out here for a drink.
A nice drive up to the top of a hill with a great view.
Love the view!
Some mines are scattered around.
We came across a memorial for someone.
Sea of yellow!
The donkeys were all around and we saw many of them.
Plenty of cattle free-ranging.
A large bull too!
We had a lot of time to explore and visit with Steve and Diane. Many great meals too.
It's time to say good-bye to them until next year when we hope to meet up on the East Coast. For now, they head to Utah and we will visit with Curt and Glenda, Ron & Rene and once more with Bunny.
What fun! From the ATV'ing to the fishing and of course the sightseeing. You got some nice bass there, I bet they were fun to catch.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next adventures as you head north!
Always fun to catch some Bass!
