Day 43 Saturday February 23

Mad Max in retirement
see camp and van by enlarging photo to max (Senator Wash Res.)
More of the Colorado River Complex - from the dam 
Two views of the same day because I lost my way:
     1. We came to Senator Wash Resevoir and sought a spot with L ang M and found one.

Rode bikes long enough to get a light fry and circle Senator Resevoir. Practiced electric bike operation and stood ready to lead F and E on in from Squaw Lake which we did at some point near noon or 1 pm. It was like a escort. We grounded on a distant cove and as the lake water began to rise we had a communal meal. A fire burned well with native ingredients and various intoxicants were brewed and swallowed. There was some argument as to which time  it was.


     2. Another day at Senator Wash Reservoir waiting for F and E to arrive from Borrego Springs for dinner and chatting away with M and L. Short ride across dam and out into the LTVA (Long Term Visitor Area) for a look about in that world. A bit of a Mad Max vibe. Mid afternoon call from F and E sent M and I out on the Haibikes to escort them in to our hidden camp on the rising waters. Fun on the turbo setting on the bike accelerating up the hills and around the bends. Sort of a tabas style dinner with guacamole, pretzels, pickles, bits of steak with various drinks. Nice fire. Broke a chair.
