Life on the Refuge















Hooray, we can show pictures again. We finally broke down and bought a Verizon MIFI system so we have internet service. The only way we were getting online since moving to the refuge was when we ran to town or to the local bar and used their wifi -- and that wasn't working out! Of course its another monthly bill but at least we can suspend the service when we don't need it.


Otherwise life on the refuge is very nice. We've been hiking the trails and taking a refuge owned truck out exploring more of the Imperial and Kofa Wildlife Refuge. Our 5th wheel is parked so we have a view of the Colorado River valley. We can't actually see the river from where we sit -- maybe if we were a little higher. We work with really nice people and the three days of work zip by. We managed to get the boat out on the water but going up the river was a huge challenge. The river is so low there a lots of sandbars to get hung up on so we finally had to turn back.


We are seeing lots of mule deer. They come pretty close to our rv's. We've seen coyotes trot by on their way to the river for a drink. We have also spotted some of the wild burros but haven't spotted a desert bighorn sheep yet!
