ROOSEVELT LAKE



We drove to Roosevelt Lake with a stop in Globe for fuel and a few things at the Safeway store there.  Wanted to camp in our favorite spot on Road 429, but someone was in it.  So we went to Cholla campground and got a spot.  Went looking for an alternate and found one, but it was all dirt and they are forecasting rain so that would not work.  Stayed in the campground for two nights and it did rain – a lot.  But our overlook spot opened up and so we moved up there.  What a great place.  Went for a couple of walks and had some great sunrises.


We used to put our kayak into the water here two years ago.  The lake is less than 1/2 full right now.

The Yuccas are really starting to come out

The desert is still cool in the mornings though.  Connie having coffee in down jacket!
