- Update New BLM Rules at Ogilby - • Ogilby Road BLM Califo...
In this video, I update you on the last few weeks of our southern snowbird trip. I show our free BLM (Bureau of Land Management) campsites at Ogilby Road near Yuma, AZ and across the street from the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge.
I give an overview using Google Earth on the locations and a 360-degree video sweep of where we stayed.
The last half of the video shows the birdlife of the scenic loop drive at Cibola. One part at sunrise and the other at sunset. Be sure to watch the last part of the video for max bird action. :)
To follow our 2017/2018 Snowbird trip check out the playlist Snowbird Travels (2017 - 2018) - • Snowbird Travels (2017...

Fabulous photography and wonderful videos of the birds. Thank you! What a treat.
The film of the birds was glorious, especially the cranes... The Google Earth map is great and helps me to get my bearings. Many thanks to you both.
Love that beagle and what a grand life for a pup!
Godspeed.
Sure is. She is 15 in early March and has spent almost half her life now in the RV. Very well traveled doggie. :)
Very nice Ray ! We are planning to spend next winter in that area and my wife was wondering what we will do in such a desolate place , but with the aide of your maps and videos it made it easy to see that there is a lot of beauty that can be found !! Also watched your awesome video of the top ten scenic campsites of 2017 ! Thank you so much we hope to meet you and your wife out on the road someday. And the Beagle of course ! Thanks again : )
You're welcome!. Cheers! Ray
Love the video of the birds! Also, we appreciate that you've taken time to create maps. That will help us a lot when we plan a trip.
Love the video Ray! And very useful tips. Thanks.
Super video Ray. Good days. Enjoy
Beautiful film of wild life. Just great. Thank you😊 Shelley from San Diego.
Nice video, really enjoy your videos and your travels, thanks Ray
Very good video thanks for taking us along happy trails
WOW! The mapping! The birds! The beagle! Wow!
Slightly jealous of those temperatures Ray! haha Beautiful footage as usual, thanks for sharing the adventures with us. - Shane
It costs us a pigs ear every time Ms Stella and I watch one of your videos ... to Stella, all birds are ducks and she ignores the Sandhill cranes in our central FL campground unless she sees them picking at the shiny door handles on the trucks and RV's, then she runs over to see if they are eating any pig ears! Our campground is 100% full now so watching a boondocking video is a great relief. Tuesday Sheila and I head over to the Tampa RV Supershow on Industry day to see all of the latest RV evolutions for 2018. a good chance to dream and plan for our next ideal boondocking machine.
Cool, have fun drooling over the new rigs! Arrrooo to Stella!
This place is amazing. Thanks for a terrific video.
Yeah, it was really cool to see so many birds in one location. :)
Haven’t been out here yet but you gave a really nice view and mapping of it. Looks neato!!
Awesome 👏 video Ray.
Appreciate your efforts keep the videos coming
Hi Eric, great video... I can see that you like to mix in a crowd for a little while then get away for a little more solitude. That's us as well, we are happy to mix it up a little but we are not big group or event people.

I love this video. Very relaxing. Thank you Ray.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you Ray
Ray, before you buy another pair of glasses in Mexico, try Zenni on the Internet. I dropped my glasses that resulted in ruining 90% of the lense... I learned about Zenni.com and replaced them that were pretty much identical - progressive bifocal, titanium frame, and good coated lenses with high index. The local glasses were $520 to replace the lenses. Zenni was under a $100. Thanks for the videos. Enjoy the warm weather.
Yes, other commentators mentioned them, but they don't serve my extreme astigmatism. The online form doesn't go as high as my cylinder correction - 6.75 and - 6.50 Their FAQ states they can fill up to + - 6.0. I've run into it with many low-cost glasses providers.
Great video
thanks Ray for the video, you're going to love that new Sony if you get it...i'll be leaving here on the 15th. on my way down to Yuma.. hope to see ya next year.
Cool. Will let you know if we circle back Yuma way for some reason, never know. :) Cheers!
lol..I think I hear Algodones and margaritas calling our names. (my buddy and I both that copy your solar system will be there together)
The sand dunes and rest area along l-8 are called Buttercup.
Thanks, Bruce, found this detailed PDF showing all the places in the Imperial Sand Dunes Rec Area - www.desertusa.com/sandhills/photos/2014_imperialdunesmap_8-11.pdf
We've camped at Glamis Flats before to explore the natural North Algodones Dunes Wilderness
Thanks for sharing, Ray! Yet another area my wife and I need to add to our must-visit list! My kinda boondocking spots. We recently returned from 10 days at Lake Havasu and we sure enjoyed the warm temperatures. We have returned back to the snow but we are planning our next get-away. Looking forward to following your 2018 adventures! - Phil
You're welcome, Phil. :) We just love the places that are little on the quiet side but with beautiful campsite views and wildlife. Cheers!
Cool mapping and the birds were great. Good job on not talking over the birds. So many TH-camrs want to fill the space with their voice instead of letting nature speak for itself.
Thank you so much for sharing the map orientation for all of the places. It is very helpful. I loved the video section with the geese on the pond and snow geese flying! We used to go watch them at Graylodge in Northern CA. The sites and sounds of the birds are so beautiful! Love to hear them. What were those birds with the yellow breasts? They were pretty too.
You bet. I'm not sure, we will have to look them up. Some had red breasts too.
NEVRRHOME great video keep up the good work always appreciated
Thank you for all that information on the cameras. Appreciate the effort you took to be so descriptive and complete.Got to go there sometime. Would love having my coffee with all those birds waking up. Are they there all the time or is that a winter roost?
It's just a stop on the migration route for many, however, some are year round. Here is a site with some lists - aziba.org/?page_id=340
The bird wildlife is one of my favorites. Did you hear any or a lot of coyotes while camping?
Yes, every night and it sounded like a bunch! I saw one too crossing the roadway and into the cornfield.
Did you see the old wooden road on the west side of the sand dunes north of I-8? My grand parents drove from San Diego to Yuma on the board road across the dunes to get married in1927. And did you get a chance to check out the Cargo Machado Mts. There are some old gold mines to explore. A friend of mine has a mining claim just before you make the left curve on the way to Blythe. You can camp and explore on any claim you just can’t take any minerals from them.
No, I keep forgetting to go see the old wooden road, read all about it, some neat history there!
Hi Ray, thanks for the great video and the update.
Wondering if you've ever checked out the "Museum of History In Granite" near your Ogilby Rd. camp. I have no idea what it is or if it's even worth stopping for...
No, we've never checked it out, just saw it when driving by. Looks kinda weird. :)
What kind of a camera are you filming with to be able to zoom in like that? I really like the birds. I bet they sound wonderful in the morning sitting outside with your coffee!

Ray when you boondock for that long do you pack up and dump your tanks some where in the middle of your stay or can you last the whole 11 days? If you mentioned that I missed it. Thanks for your reply. Love your videos.
We can last 11 days or more if we really conserve water and will consider doing that if we are far away from a dump and love a spot. But for this place we use water fairly freely as the dump and fill is close. We are really proficient at packing up and resetting up after so many years. Takes us about an hour to an hour and one half to be dumped and recharged with water and back and set up again. Cheers! Ray
Oh yum, look at all the meat. Duck a l'orange, Christmas Goose, Crane is rib eye of the sky :P
Those Canada geese are a little on the greasy side and the ducks are very hard to pluck.
Hi Ray! We remember being amazed by the bird activity here on your previous visit. We are definitely adding Cebola NWR to our list of must visits so we can see these birds in person. Were all these birds there in early January?
Yes, we just left a few days ago
Love Your RV Thanks! Safe travels.
Great video Ray. Really enjoy your method of providing us 360 views and your verbiage describing your journeys. Look forward to meeting you guys someday. Is a passport required for the Mexico excursion???
Thanks. For Canucks, definitely! For US citizens maybe not as much as I saw a few people in line just show their Drivers Licence or some card like that but to be on the safe side I say get a passport. Then you can come visit Canada. :) haha
It's a passport card. We can only use it to get into Canada and Mexico. It only costs $30.00. But you need at least this card to enter back into the US.
Cool, thanks, never had heard about it before. I see it can only be used at international land crossings - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Passport_Card
Ray, I have been coast to coast in Canada. Well Moncton, N.B. to Vancouver many times. Mostly business trips but the Canadians really know how to party, and BBQ Steaks..drink Molson, any thing Canadian! I have great respect for our neighbors of the North. Especially after 9/11, all those flights were allowed to land in Canada, all the citizens treated Americans like guests. I will never forget and will always honor that!
Great Photography. Advice is to stay out in the boondocking areas, so you don't get the flu bug hitting everyone in parks...
Thanks, is it the flu or a cold bug. Seems almost everyone that dropped by to visit us had a cold. I avoided shaking hands. ;)
Its the Flu and you get a cold with it. Yes Wash hands vigorously... I got it, Rick has not at this time. WE are in a park in Coolidge, AZ
Yikes, double whammy! It's a good thing we decided to skip Quartzsite.
6:20 That "old class C" might be a Bimobil from Germany, but I'm not sure.
What kind of camera are you using ?
Sony's - www.loveyourrv.com/love-your-rv-photo-and-video-creation-tools/
What do you use to find the blm camping spots. I've looked at some of the books out there and they leave a lot to be desired
Here is a blog post I wrote detailing my various methods - www.loveyourrv.com/find-rv-boondocking-campsites-us-south-west/ Cheers, Ray
How was the internet data cell signal in that area for you
Ogilby was excellent and Cibola was usually good but a little flaky during certain times of the day, usually breakfast and dinner hours. Seems the tower overloaded a bit I guess. We use Verizon and T Mobile. I didn't need to use my booster, good signal strength.
Did you leave Angie in the trailer while you had your dental work done in Mexico? Wondering if I should hire a dog sitter for my visit.
Yes, we do, but only if the temps are cool enough. Sometimes we are camped with friends and they will mind her.
WOW Ray thats some good eating there! I wonder if they are in season ;-)
haha, ya! I know that there is quite a bit of hunting in the refuge.
What are the dimensions of your "Happy Face" flag?
It's a standard 3 foot by 5 foot flag - amzn.to/2FA3ALl
Did it make you seem like you were in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, by any chance. . . .?? :-)
If they were crows I would have definitely been concerned. :)
Ray, being so close to the border, have you seen any illegals or drug traffic in the area? I would worry about being out there, especially at night! Just curious!
Nah, it's not as dangerous as some make out. There are lots of border guards and surveillance going on. There are literally thousands of RVers camped in the southern desert near the border in the winter and extremely few incidents. The last thing most traffickers or illegals want is to come near some RVer. They want to evade detection. Plus most of the US RVers are packing. ;)
Usually from what I heard the only time they come near RVers is because they are dying and need food and water.
