Wednesday moving to new campsite

Our stay at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary ended on Wednesday, so we planned to move to a dispersed camping site in land managed by the Bureau of Land Management that we had found during our drive around in the Jeep on Monday(https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/05/monday-around-best-friends-animal.html). I drove the Jeep to the location that we had decided was our first choice, and then called Carl to let him know that the prime location there was available and he should bring Gracie. Miss Kitty was mightily confused as she had no lap on which to sit while the rig was being driven, but she finally settled on the passenger seat by herself.

Carl got to the location (less than 10 miles from Best Friends) and we got Gracie parked.

First order of business, clean up those solar collectors!

Looks pretty idyllic!

We took a walk around our area -- these are the mountains toward the east...

This is a panoramic shot of the area below where we are parked -- it is like a gravel pit. Not sure whether they just excavated and used gravel or whether they made flat areas for RVs to park -- either way, there are nice flat areas for parking (though we didn't think they had as nice views).

Coming down the hill, looking back toward Gracie (there is a 5th wheel between us and Gracie, but she is the furthest one in the back).

We decided to go out later in the day to take pictures at sunset.

Such pretty colors (I had a "sunset" filter on the camera, so it is a little technology-aided, but makes it look more like what our eyes were seeing!).

No clouds so no gorgeous sunset in the west.

But still pretty toward the east.

Carl had said that he didn't think we would find a spot that he liked better than where we stayed in the Kaibab National Forest (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/04/on-move-well-little-ways.html), but he thinks this might be even better!
