After leaving the petroglyphs we pulled into the Yuma VFW for an overnight stop on our way to Quartzsite.

Hey, fellow travelers! Welcome back to PCPOMTravels. Today, we're embarking on an incredible adventure to the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site, nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. If you're an RV enthusiast and history buff like me, you're in for a treat!" "Located approximately 90 miles southwest of Phoenix, Arizona, the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site is a mesmerizing destination managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It's not only a beautiful spot for RV camping but also a window into the rich cultural history of the Hohokam people who left their mark here over a thousand years ago. There is a mound of rocks at the north side of the campground with a walkway around them for viewing the petroglyphs to be found here. The BLM has a few story boards at the start of the walkway explaining a bit about the history of the area. Take pictures for remembering and save the site from damage for future visitors to enjoy. This BLM site is west and north of Gila Bend off of Interstate 8. There is a fairly large campground, with the sites being well spread out so that you won’t feel like your next door neighbor is in your hip pocket. The sites are all equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring. There are not any available services in the campground other than the pit toilets and trash receptacles. Situated in a desert atmosphere, the sites are all graveled, but there was not a camp host when we were there in January. Payment for your site will have to be made online at recreation.gov. We were able to get a time-lapse video of both our trip to this site as well as after we headed out at the end of our adventure. We ended up having some amazing vistas, as the desert was actually quite green this year. It was not a bad drive from Florence out to Painted Petroglyph, as I8 was not terrible busy. The paved road leading into the site is a bit rough with potholes along its length, which seems to be the normal for most pavement in Arizona. The last ¼ mile into the campground as well as both loops of the campground are graveled dirt. Be sure to show up with your water tanks full if you will be staying for any length of time. We had a few days of cloudy weather plus a small amount of rain while we were there. The cloudy skies lent themselves to some very beautiful sunsets. I love the colorful skies at sunrise and sunset, having a great time getting pictures. Maybe I am slightly overboard when it comes to these types of photos, but they make for awe-inspiring memories. While taking Chloe our 16 year old GSP(German Shorthair Pointer) for walks in the surrounding desert area, I had a great time getting pictures of the surrounding fauna, plus the surrounding desert hills. From videos and shots of Saguaro Cactus skeletons to live Saguaro to the creosote bushes, there was not a lack of fauna to admire and capture. I found a Saguaro in its early years of existence that was still in barrel form without a lot of height. There were some unique dead and down trees that mad for neat pictures as well. The rippled sand in the desert washes made for a few interesting photographs. With some shots of our campsite in the foreground and surrounding desert hills in the background, we will have great memories to look back on in future years. We only had a few days at this spot, but we truly enjoy this spot. Check road conditions: Some routes may be rough, so make sure your RV is equipped for the journey." "Bring plenty of water and sun protection, especially during the hot desert days." "Respect the site: Follow BLM regulations, leave no trace, and preserve this historical treasure for future generations." #Fulltime RVing,#Painted Rock Petroglyph,#RV Travel,#Petroglyph Site,#Outdoor Adventure,#RV Camping,#Historical Landmarks,#Ancient Rock Art,#Travel,#Destinations,#Petroglyph Exploration,#RV Road Trip,#Cultural Heritage,#Arizona Attractions,#Nomadic Living,#RV Lifestyle,#Archaeological Site,#Roadside Attraction,#Desert Exploration,#Travel Itinerary,#Rock Art Enthusiasts,#Camping Adventures

So I got to enjoy my 1st cup of bulletproof coffee this month. Adding butter and MCT oil to coffee was not something I had ever thought of, but it's proving to be quite tasty. Good enough that I may continue the habit. I started using Handbrake to compress my videos for uploading to the different video services. During our stay here the kids have taken us out to a few of the great dining establishments to be found here in Colorado Springs, one of which is the "Bonefish" which we enjoyed tremendously. As we are only here through the middle part of July before we head out for the year I only took some basic pictures and videos of the area, the rest of our travels in the area are gathered up in videos and articles of each special adventure. Between helping the kids get ready to move back to AZ, helping with baby Ava and a few short adventures around town this video just contains a few pics and vids. We truly enjoyed our time with the kids while here in Colorado Springs and are looking forward to the rest of our travels that we have planned for this year.

We stayed in Colorado Springs CO for a couple of months after grand daughter Ava was born. This video/slideshow shares some of the views and activities during the month of June while we were there.

Our adventure in Colorado Springs in May 2022. From snow to a new grand daughter, this was a very fulfilling time in the midst of our full time rv life.

Record of our time spent in Colorado Springs CO in May 2022.

The purpose of leaving Quartzsite and coming down to the Yuma area was twofold. One to see some new area and give us a fresh view out our windows. Two is to make our drive to Larry and Patty’s place in a couple of weeks a bit shorter, 97 miles shorter to be exact. This winter down on the desert has seemed to be blessed or cursed depending on how one views it, with a large amount of wind. The higher wind had the effect of keeping us pinned indoors more than we like to be. But as with all things, this shall pass. Yuma did give us the opportunity to see the wild burros, as well as giving the kids a chance to come down and visit us, which was absolutely wonderful.

Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame, June 4, 2022 I have been a fan of rodeo since I was a small lad living in Wyoming. So when Cindy and I got a chance to go to the Hall of Fame, you can bet that I jumped on the chance. It was definitely worth the price of admission, which was fairly inexpensive with the Groupon deal we got. From my journal entry for the day: Our next stop was the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, both Cindy and I were very impressed by this museum. Watched their video presentation, then went through the museum taking pictures and enjoying all the displays. Wrapped up our adventure in the gift shop getting a bday gift for Maylyn and Bowen, now just need to get all these items mailed out. If you decide to go to the ProRodeo Hollow Fame found in Colorado Springs, Colorado, be sure to allow yourself more than a couple of hours, as there are loads of things to see. And be sure to stop in the gift shop, and get your memorabilia for your visit to remember by. #rving #fullltimerving #rvtravel #pcpomtravels #coolstuff #rvingfulltime #granddesign #fulltimerv #boondocking #rvliving #ProRodeoHallOfFame #coloradosprings #colorado #prorodeo #halloffame

Fort Craig is a unique national historical place. Over the years after it was closed, many people came along and took things from there, as well as knocking down buildings and such. So the Park service has done their best to re-create the basic outline of the fort. To view the fort is a self-guided tour with mini placard's placed around the site giving you the history of the area that you're looking at. There are still some foundations in partial walls standing, but you will not find any full buildings. To get to the fort, a person will have to travel down around 10 miles of dirt road that is in fair shape. They have a visitor center at the fort where you can get more information as well as souvenirs of your visit. The fort is located on and rim by the BLM agency. Cindy and I enjoyed our tour of the fort, taking lots of photos and checking this fort out. It's a definite bucket list stop for anyone interested in our history of the western part of our country. Location: Fort Craig is about 35 miles south of Socorro. From the north, take I-25 to the San Marcial exit, then east over the Interstate, and south on old Highway 1 (about 11 miles). Then follow the signs to Fort Craig. (If traveling on I-25 from the south, take exit 115.) #rving #fullltimerving #rvtravel #pcpomtravels #coolstuff #rvingfulltime #granddesign #fulltimerv #boondocking #rvliving #ftcraig #fortcraig #fortcraignewmexico #ftcraignm

Brent Gaylene Datil Well VLA April 2022 VLA Basics From the early 1960s at NRAO, astronomers knew they needed an array of radio dishes to complement the work of our giant, single-dish telescopes. An array is a group of several radio antennas observing together creating — in effect — a single telescope many miles across. As a first step, NRAO built the Green Bank Interferometer to learn and develop the best communications, correlation, and atmospheric correction practices. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, this four-element array helped NRAO prepare for a Very Large Array of 27 telescopes. Woodruff Dam is a dam located just 13.2 miles from Holbrook, in Navajo County, in the state of Arizona, United States, near Woodruff, AZ. Woodruff is an unincorporated community in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. Woodruff is 10.5 miles (16.9 km) southeast of Holbrook. Woodruff was settled in 1876 by a group of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led by Nathan Tenney and including Tenney's son Ammon M. Tenney. It was initially called Tenney's Settlement. In 1878 Lorenzo H. Hatch became the head of the LDS branch there. At that point it was named Woodruff after Wilford Woodruff. #rving #fullltimerving #rvtravel #pcpomtravels #coolstuff #rvingfulltime #granddesign #fulltimerv #boondocking #rvliving #snowflakeaz #woodruffaz #vla #datilwellcampground
