We had heard about an RV resort 14 miles further up the road and decided today was the day to check it out.  Our route took us along quite a narrow winding road.  We passed a reservoir and saw some huge pipes going up into the mountain.  We stopped at a security post and were told that water is piped up from Lake Havasu into the reservoir then piped up through a mountain into a canal system which goes to Los Angeles and provides their water.  Apparently, the Colorado river also provides water to Phoenix though a different canal system.  The terrain is rugged through this area but with the cactus blooming the bright spots of color added contrast.  As we drove, little lizards scooted off the road and hawks were soaring and circling above us.  We did get to Black Meadow RV park and drove through it to see if it was someplace we would like to set up for the winter.  It is quite isolated and not someplace we feel we would like to stay even though it is quite nice.  As we headed back, we stopped at a few spots to enjoy the view and once again we saw a herd of burros.  We stopped and got some more pictures of them.  They seem quite tame, and the little ones are adorable, people often feed them carrots and the burros even come up to the vehicles looking for food.
