March 31-Last day in Ironwood National Monument BLM

Our last day of boondocking. It’s been great. Lenny and Banjo have loved being able to go outside without leashes and smell all those different smells. 

We’ve enjoyed hiking among all the different cacti and flora. Found the name to one of the plants we saw - ocotillo. Long spikes with a beautiful orange-red and yellow flower. Bill got a good shot of it. 

And this is the flower. 

I was having a little withdrawal from quilt shopping so I found two relatively close together (still took us 30minutes) and we all set off. I love the Southwest colors and their fabrics reflect that and their culture. Could have bought a lot but restrained myself. 

Back at the RV Lenny is soaking up the sun, while Bill fixes a flat on the trailer. He’s amazing. Had all the tools he needed. Wow. 

Tomorrow we head to Joshua Tree.
