Lots of money went into building this area, which is now unused and closed off. They have at least a couple dozen of these picnic shelters that were never finished with a roof. There were a few that were finished.<br />

There usually is a Corps of Engineers campground near the dams in New Mexico. Water was running out of the dam for 3 days - at least, since that's how many days I went by it. And this next photo shows it running down the Rio Grande on the other side of the bridge. <br />

City of Rocks is an amazing area that was created by a volcano centuries ago. The area surrounding the rocks is a flat meadow area.<br />

Most of the camping sites are without hookups, except for the few in the electrical area.<br />

One of the campers told me where the owl was nesting. She was near the top of a hollowed out rock, probably about 2 stories up. She blends in quite well with the rock colors.<br />

Across from the main campground is another area that had an upheaval, creating more boulders. The view from there shows how flat the area is.<br />

I was there for over a week and kept wandering around, seeing different formations. This one shows a windmill that was one of two installed in the park in the 1950s. They don't work anymore, but they are picturesque.<br />

At the top of Gates Pass in Tucson is a place to pull over and get some scenery shots of the surrounding area. There are some ruins in this area, including the one above.<br />

Contrary to what most people would think of a desert - there are times when it's quite colorful. All the yellow trees are called Palo Verde. <br />

Palo Verde trees bloom yellow in the spring, and then will turn green. The trunks of the trees are also green, and the name means Green Sticks. Unfortunately, with the partly overcast day, this one doesn't look as vibrantly colored as they are.</div>

These cacti grow slowly, and may be 70 years old before sprouting branches on them. By the time they are 150 years old, they can reach 50 feet, some of them, even taller. Since they collect water, the bigger ones can weigh tons.<br />

Saguaro cactus is home to many birds. They drill into the cactus to make a little den for a nest. Some birds will use abandoned spaces from previous years and build new nests. This was taken at a different location, since I couldn't get a good shot that day.</div>

This photo is an ocotillo, and it's not a dead plant, although it looks a bit sad. This is what it looks like when there has been no rain. You'll see in the following photo this (at another location) another ocotillo has had enough rain to keep leaves on the branches. You can see a few flowers at the tips of the branches, even though it hasn't had rain recently. When it does rain, it takes only a few days for the ocotillo to sprout lots of green leaves.</div>

San Carlos, Mexico! On the left, the double peak is the Tetakawi, the most familiar landmark in the area. This day looks nice and peaceful, great weather.<br />
<br />
However, last summer, the San Carlos area got hit by a couple hurricanes in the area, and caused quite a bit of damage. Most buildings were safe. Unfortunately, this poor sailboat was someone's home, but was grounded and damaged during one of the storms. <br />

The Sons of Freedom is a local motorcycle club that gets together at their clubhouse for socializing, as well as sponsoring various events in town, such as this parade, and gathering Christmas gifts for children in the area.<br />

This Pajama Parade is held every January 1 in the morning, people dress as if they had just gotten up after celebrating New Year's Eve and went right out for breakfast, which is what they did. After breakfast, they parade through town, led by one of our police vehicles.<br />

When I drove to San Carlos a few days ago, this new sign greeted me. I knew when I left last spring that they were planning to put up a sign, similar to other towns in Mexico.<br />
<br />
A friend followed me in her RV, since she had never been here before. To get her acquainted, we did a quick tour of the town. She still has more to see.<br />
<br />
Below is the newly created town square, we just missed the celebration of the "opening".<br />

Last year, I drove up to this old building sitting on a hill overlooking the water. I just love the scenery here, and of course, I'm intrigued with abandoned buildings, so we had to take more photos. The window on the left shows the famous Tetakawi, a familiar landmark in town.</div>

I watched multiple fires this summer, from a distance, and then closer; while I was camping in several different Forest Service Campgrounds. After seeing the hard work and lots of tax dollars that go into fighting these fires, I started talking to people who agreed that Smokey is not as well publicized today as he has been in the past. Other people agreed that they hadn't seen much of anything about him in years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, he does have a new website, https://www.smokeybear.com/, published just this year, from which I borrowed the above photo. I have a feeling that after this summer, he will have more of a presence than he has in years past. This year, I saw some photos of firefighters carrying out a cub from the fires, which is how Smokey Bear, and his message, got started decades ago. I hope that the message will continue with more publicity. </div>

At one of the Forest Service campgrounds I stayed at, the camp hosts had these little bracelets labeled "Smokey's Friend", a good reminder to be careful!</div>

On one of my morning hikes, I noticed a few deer in the distance and as I kept sneaking up on them, noticed this one just sitting calmly among the others. I kept sneaking up on her, taking photos of her with my zoom lens, until I got this close. Then she decided it was enough and got up to follow the rest.</div>

I had been to this National Forest campground 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. This is my spot this time, a little bit unlevel, but I made it work. Recapture Reservoir is nearby, and looks like a great place to boondock, but by the time I saw it, I was all settled. This area is Route 191, about halfway between Monticello and Blanding, Utah.<br />

Not too far away is Wilson's Arch, which I didn't get to climb last time I was in the neighborhood. So a little exploring trip was in order, along with great scenery on the way. This is Church Rock, right by the road and quite large.</div>

I decided I needed to climb up to at least under the arch. This is about halfway up and I decided the other side would be easier to climb.</div>

It may not be easier to climb on this side either, but I finally made it. The trail was quite steep. <br />

Did I mention I don't like heights? Here I am, sitting on the rock, looking at how tiny those people and vehicles are. It looks like I could slide down easily. I will take me longer to get down safely than it did going up. The next photo shows the view on the side.<br />

This is a very small area of the Strawberry Reservoir. For those who are curious, I never saw any strawberries growing around here. There are 7 campgrounds scattered around this part of the lake. Out of those, only 1 has hookups, for people who must have air conditioning and other comforts.</div>

My first site was overlooking the marina, of course. Most days started out sunny and then started to cloud up midday. This was sunset light, sometimes the best times to take shots. Below is a little ground squirrel, they seem to be shy in this area.<br />

Maggie Arechiga is a Mexican woman who runs a shelter/orphanage called Agua y Mas Orphanage in Guaymas, Mexico. Maggie is hoping to obtain an abandoned school building in San Carlos, which needs to be renovated, so she can move part of the orphanage/shelter to San Carlos from Guaymas. Some preliminary work has been done to the grounds, but quite a bit of work still needs to be done, especially to the interior. This will have to wait until she gets her final approval papers. With 45 children at the present time, there is always loads of work as well as items necessary to clothe and feed everyone, as well as provide a safe place and utilities.</div>

Maggie's Kids is the name of a Facebook page that provides information on what the local people have been doing to help Maggie with support for the past few years. There are many people who travel from the States to San Carlos each winter and bring necessary items to help Maggie provide care for the children. Maggie gets the kids out to have fun, and twice a year, with the help of San Carlos residents, they plan a camping trip to the local beaches. </div>

Allison Poutiatine and I met up in Utah and decided to visit a thrift shop in Monticello after our lunch in that town last week. We were looking for tents and other camping equipment for the next camp outing. After lunch, we wandered into Mimi's Thrift Emporium on the main street in town and saw a decent sized tent hanging from the ceiling and decided we needed to buy that for the kids. While I was wandering around looking for other items, Allison started talking to Mimi and the other women about the orphanage and what the kids need. </div>

While I was wandering around, Mimi told Allison that she could donate clothing and a few other things. They had already started taking clothes off the racks and putting them in the rolling suitcases we had also picked out. When Mimi and her helpers filled those suitcases, they started filling large trash bags with all sizes of clothing and shoes. Allison and I were both shocked at the amount of clothes that were being donated. Mimi also donated a couple of rolling suitcases that were just a little less than perfect!</div>

This is the pile we ended up with, and some things may have already been taken to the truck! Mimi told us she could do this twice a year, if we had someone who could transport items down to Mexico. With social media, maybe we can find people willing to help Maggie's Kids! Many thanks to Mimi and her helpers for the amazing generosity and willingness to help these children!<br />
<br />
Maggie has set up a U. S. and Canadian account for the orphanage for donations, which would be tax deductible. Anyone interested in donating can contact..... <a href="http://www.aguaymas.org/">http://www.aguaymas.org/</a> <br />

Only this one does the tour. Not a coal burning engine, but it's still a train! This particular train is the Heber Creeper because way back in the last century, Heber City was a farming area and raised livestock, which was taken by train down to the big cities. It only goes a few miles an hour, and back in the day, took them almost all day to make the trip. </div>

This is my view of some of my neighbors after a storm that included 3 episodes of hail and lots of rain. The storm lasted until late in the evening, but even before that, my site was full of muddy areas. The photo below was one of my campsites. This is National Forest land and locals usually bring in their RVs days before the weekend. They will leave them until the weekend, and then come in on Friday or Saturday. They bring boats and 4 wheelers for the trails. On weekdays, it feels like a ghost town.</div>

One of the other campers told me that the dirt road up into the aspens ended with a very large camping area, so I took a drive up there. The further I drove into the aspens, the more the dirt road got rougher, with some big ruts. I didn't want to drive my truck any further up, and I certainly didn't want to even think of taking my 5th wheel up there. It sure was pretty up there though.</div>

Quite a few of the BLM camping areas have cattle on them. Most of the time, the cattle are separated by a fence. My cat has to see what's happening outside and loves the critters. I think the cows are the largest animals she has seen. </div>

An entire herd of them were in the campground this day, well maybe only a partial herd. They started moving down the hill in a large group, mooing all the way. I knew someone had to be herding them, and soon, I saw a man on horseback with his dog. The dog was having a great time, and doing a wonderful job also. </div>

Soldier Creek Campground belongs to the Forest Service, it is part of the Strawberry Reservoir but it took about 12 miles to get to the this side. It's a very nice campground, and I had a really scenic spot overlooking a part of the lake - this is my view right out my door.</div>

Unfortunately, the view from the back window gave me a front seat to view the fires. This was pretty much the scene for the first few days. I wasn't really concerned because I was told that it was about 2-3 canyons away from the campground. Besides, there was lots of water in the lake and a good portion of it was between the campground and the opposite shore. </div>

For a few days, I watched two of these seaplanes land on the water, run for quite a while and then take off to circle to the fire. They were loading water from the lake into those pontoons and then going to dump it onto the fire. They always worked in pairs and I was told that they do that so one could go in low and the other goes in high to douse the flames.</div>

Even after working at this for about 3 days, for 5-6 hours each day, the fire was still going, and getting really smoky when the wind shifted.<br />

When the wind shifted, the campground was full of smoke - and ash! Tiny flakes were floating from the sky and landing all over everything. Still, we were in no danger because the fire itself was far away. Below is a long shot of one of the helicopters that appeared as the smoke fog came in. This is a really long zoom, and with all the smoke in the air, you can just see the helicopter itself and the bucket they're filling from the lake, which he then dumps on the fire. </div>

After 2 days, the wind shifted again and we were back to clear air again. The fire was still burning, but it had certainly decreased in size. There were still hot spots that were flaring up and the workers on the ground were dealing with them.</div>

I was talking to the camp host one day and we recalled "Smokey the Bear", which was a big campaign decades ago. Ads would be on television and in print publications, as well as signs along the highway. I'm not sure why this campaign was stopped years ago, because certainly people still need to be educated about fire prevention. This year has brought us major forest fires that have raged for thousands of acres. </div>

Two years ago, I visited the Smokey the Bear museum in Capitan, New Mexico. The displays showed all the signs, posters and all sorts of information about how to deal with campfires, and fire safety in general. A small bear cub was rescued in a forest fire years ago, which is where the Smokey the Bear mascot came from. </div>

Little animals, like the ones below at this campground, and larger animals that are rarely seen, are killed by forest fires if they can't get away fast enough from an approaching fire. Homes are lost, as well as some fire workers. </div>
