Happy Holidays from the desert southwest!

Mittry Lake Wildlife Area, Yuma, AZ

You can get to Mittry Lake from the north turning at the Imperial Dam turnoff and coming down a 5 miles dirt road, or from the south, north of Yuma, with only about a mile of dirt road.  See my December 10, 2018 blog post here, where I explained our north route and pictures through the Proving Grounds. Now, after being parked on Laguna Dam Road, we only had a short jaunt to the main camping areas/picnic area/garbage/restroom/boat launch.  We parked on the gravel area. It had rained and some of the areas near the water were still muddy.

We had 3 bar Verizon LTE, able to get 6 English speaking TV channels (many Spanish ones)

Lettuce harvest in Yuma, AZ

On our way in to the town of Yuma from our boondocking spot, there are fields of what we think is lettuce and cabbage. Fields of different sized plants, so they must grow it year around. There were also fields of harvesters. This is totally new to us, so it was really interesting.

It’s amazing the amount of dirt they move to make their fields level, the irrigation systems they have to use to raise crops in this desert area. We were surprised there isn’t more technology for this, but we did find some you tube videos that show robotics helping out.
