On Sunday, December 27^th, we left the Morenga Palms RV Park and headed north in to the Arizona Outback towards Alamo Lake State Park.  It was a short trip of 38 miles, with mostly cloudy skies and light winds…temps in the lower 60s.  We are there until Monday, January 4th.

A sped up video of that drive can be seen HERE.

We arrived and set up our camp at our favorite spot in the park.  We are way at the end of a peninsula....the view from our site is awesome!

Alamo Lake State Park is way out in the middle of the AZ outback...internet connection here is very poor, even with our WEBOOST. But using it we went from nothing to being able to work on and update publish this content!

The peak in the photo below is Artillery Peak.  The whole area in the photo is the weathered remains of an ancient shield volcano.  The peak is what's left of the original lava conduit.  The contours of the original volcano are marked by the red lines.  Over the eons erosion by wind and rain has reduced it to what we see today.  The peak is the solidified "plug" of the lava conduit....Click the photo to enlarge... 

The area around artillery peak has vast resources of manganese, one of the largest deposits in the country.  Also found in this area are good deposits of uranium and also some gold.

We will be shooting some Drone videos here....Watch for them soon!

Until Next Time!
