Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.
Below is a list of recent posts.

As part of our daily walk, we went to the Salton Sea Visitors’ Center. They have a very informative display about the history and future of the sea as well as a 8 minute film about same. The sea is fast...
Yesterday when we arrived at the Salton Sea SRA, the sea was completely flat and calm. Over night a stiff westerly wind started up creating a surf on the lake. Quite a change. After breakfast we headed south...
We left our site in the Box Canyon BLM area and headed west down the canyon. A few miles from our dry arid campsite we crossed the Choachella Canal; on the other side was a green expanse of grapes, lettuce,...

We pulled up stakes in the KOFA wilderness and headed to the town of Quartzite for some much needed housekeeping and then on to Blythe CA to shop for groceries — the closest full-service grocery. On a...
Best weather of the week today, sunny and slightly breezy. However, as the day progressed, it became VERY windy. We set off in the morning to actually climb Crystal Hill. There is no designated path, just...
We walked a bit out in the desert today. We wanted to check out Twelve Mile Well. The facility consists of an old windmill, probably not used any longer; a solar panel; a water storage tank; and an open...
It rained overnight, but was sunny when we got up. First order of the day was to walk out about 1/3 mile toward the Livingston Hills and take some overhead pictures. Then after a quick lunch, we decided we...
Another cool, gray, cloudy, and sometimes rainy day in the desert. We spent the morning reading while the air warmed up. Then David sent up his quad copter for a look around. Later between rain sprinkles we...
