A walk to the Cargos….

 

Our Location:

Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California 

Not the best nights sleep but I was still out the door by 7:15 am and my feet carried me across the desert floor to the copper mine I found last year. I once again found my way easily and managed to make it there and back in about 2 hours, over 12,000 steps. I was happy to be home. 

The greenish colour is oxidization. Very colourful, don’t you think?

The walk is long but it was interesting.

A coffee while resting in the sun and then we headed off to town for a few errands. A stop at Fry’s grocery store, some diesel and we were back home in time for happy hour. 

Sunrise.

Some of the views on my stroll.

We parted ways again just as the sun dropped below the horizon and all headed inside to do our own stuff. Plans are afoot for tomorrow though.

The Imperial Sand Dunes in the morning sun.

Looking back toward home from the path to the mine.

We are parked out there.

I took this on my homeward bound trek, but that is where I walked to the mine.

Today’s pics were all taken this morning before 9:30 am. I hope you enjoy the stroll.

Until next time……

Take care, stay safe,

Deb

An adventurous day.....

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

A beautiful sunrise and a chat with Deb while that was happening was a very nice way to start the day. None of us had plans and so we hatched a plan to do a little exploring today. 

 

Sunrise this morning starting at 7:08 am MST

7:13 am MST

Blurry but the lights are in Mexico at least 5 miles away.

After coffee time we all headed out in their Jeep and found our way to the little stone place I blogged about a few weeks ago. From there we managed to make a triangle and find the little stone place again but it wasn't our intent the second time. Eventually we found the site I had discovered with the copper mining. It took some doing but we managed to get pretty close. Deb opted to stay on the safer side of the wash while Tom, Riley and I climbed through to get to the area I had mentioned before with the multi coloured rocks everywhere. I won't show you any photos of the area because I didn't take any, I've already done a blog about that. If you want to see anything more about our day you can read Deb's blog (Celebrating the Dance )  as she was busy taking pics most of the time. 

 

7:17 am MST

 

7:20 am MST

7:22 am MST. The red has stretched far to the left in just these few minutes.

7:30 am MST, the sun has slipped behind the cloud cover and sunrise is over.

On the way home we stopped at Ivan's and chatted for a few minutes. He's got a nice little spot and we even managed to meet the prim and proper Miss Hailey. She wasn't interested in any small talk and headed off to amuse herself. Home for lunch and then I once again joined up for happy hour, Deb and Tom. Lots of laughs! Doug we missed your input and Yuma's looking for attention. New neighbours have taken up residence in your recently vacated location.  

 

A hole worn in the rocks by the little roofless cabin.

So smooth where the pieces have fallen off.

The side wall of the copper mine.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

 

The beginning of sunset tonight and the new neighbours.

 

Until next time...

 

Take care, be safe,
