Desert Acacia

These are pictures of a Desert Acacia tree by our campsite in Wickenburg.  Our truck and rig are in the background.  This tree was beautiful with all of these fuzzy yellow "flowers".  It smelled wonderful.  Now we are in Alamo, NV about 100 miles north of Las Vegas.  Its a tiny town but has a decent campground.  We will spend a night or two in Ely, NV depending on the weather.  Its time to put away our shorts and put on pants.  We've been enjoying 80 degrees but we probably won't see those temps again until the end of May. 

We had some excitement at this campground in Alamo.  A fence along the road caught on fire and them jumped to the travel trailer next to it.  I grabbed hoses and Jim grabbed our fire extinguisher to help put out the flames.  It looked like someone threw a cigarette out and hit  the dry grass and started a fire which was helped by the wind.  The side of the trailer was black and melted looking after the fire was out.  The trailer was owned by the owner of the campground and he got some burns putting out the fire.  It was very scary and we will be thinking about what we can do to be ready to protect our stuff from fire.
