 June 12th, John Martin Reservoir State Park, Hasty, CO

Long stretch through western Kansas and Eastern Colorado.  Passed a huge wind farm in western Kansas.  Also many iol drilling rigs. Quite a contrast! Camped at a very nice campground attached to the John Martin reservoir.


The reservoir is huge as well as the dam is very impressive.  There was a nice breeze to offset the warm temperatures.

Our spacious campsite at John Martin Reservoir

John Martin reservoir is huge!


You can see the campground below at the bottom of the dam

 June 20th &21st, Desert View Grand Canyon East We reserved a campsite at Desert View campground for two nights.  It was a boondock with no water or electric hookup.  No problem as my 400 watt solar panels and extra water tank did fine.  The weather was very nice with a balmy 90C in the shade with a nice breeze.
