BLM stands for Bureau of Land Management. This is land controlled and maintained by the U.S. government. It is available to use for free for up to 14 day intervals. You must move at least 25 miles to start another 14 day limit. The limit is to keep people from just squatting permanently on government land. Hope that helps.<br /><br />It means to me I can stay up to 14 days for free, so I don't have to pay camp fees. However, all my electricity and water I bring with me. That is why Evan and I put those 5 AGM batteries in the motorhome 2 years ago. So I could have enough electricity from my batteries to be comfortable and do the things I want, like use computers and watch TV and have lights.<br />Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-68083828430772835772015-02-16T19:20:37.948-06:002015-02-16T19:20:37.948-06:00Hi Doug!

I wasn't able to go in the museum since I had Yuma with me, but there was a lot outside to see. I am staying on a side road about two miles up the Joshua Tree Park entrance road. <br /><br />If I were going west on I-10 I would be going right through Coachella, but I will be taking the Box Canyon Road today. I've heard it is a pretty drive.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-20396978813372033762015-02-16T09:15:05.920-06:002015-02-16T09:15:05.920-06:00Thanks Dolly.

The Patton museum is really interesting! We've been there a couple of times.<br />Cheryl Ann~~You are getting close to where I teach. I'm in Coachella. From our playground, we can see the trucks and cars going up the grade on Interstate 10.trav4adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411656522344925200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-15025849616809432322015-02-15T22:27:55.486-06:002015-02-15T22:27:55.486-06:00What would happen if the tortoise decided to not e...What would happen if the tortoise decided to not endure Yuma's indignities? This area is really nice. No chollas. There are some beautiful picultures! I loved the shot of Yuma's and your shadows! The 2 photos right after the shadows are amazing. Where was that? They looked so different.Dolly Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800958084104672640noreply@blogger.com
