I think I've hit the right time for some beautiful weather on a remote prairie. I'm going to love it here.

I'm going to have to get on my posts a little earlier if I want to get them out in a reasonable time in the evening. It is so quiet here. Not a sound except the wind and the birds. Does look like the Serengeti in Africa. I keep expecting to see a pride of lions in the grass.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-44917254737826574612017-03-13T10:14:03.653-05:002017-03-13T10:14:03.653-05:00I thought that grassy area looked familiar!

I googled moonrise for your area and it was 6:50 pm your time. Moonset will be 6:45 am - so yes, you may get some great photos. Monday nice moonrise will be about 7:50. You're in a great campsite. Yuma and even your RV are color coordinated with the tall grasses. You look like you are on safari in Africa - watch out for lions. You already saw an elephant and a hippo on your way there. This will be great Fun.
