Restored phone service....




Our Location: Near American Girl Mine Road, BLM, CA
 
An interesting couple of days but no photos. Sorry didn't snap more than a photo or two and haven't uploaded them yet. So we'll do this without any pics. 
 
We took a short ride yesterday to dump some garbage and fill some water jugs. The number of rigs along Sidewinder at Ogilby in the pay section is staggering, many more than Thanksgiving. More even than down by the rest area on I-8. Truly an amazing number. 
 
Our little stretch has gotten a bit busier as well, still lots of open space and fire rings but probably 10 rigs more than before Christmas. 
 
Yesterday afternoon both of our phones lost service. They would connect to the towers and then drop the connection, this of course means no internet either. I was preparing to head into the library to use their wifi to contact Bell this morning but upon getting up the phones were working fine again. A call to Bell netted me a useless explanation of the issue but something I'll be keeping an eye on in the future. 
 
A shopping trip for groceries and propane filled our day today. A fully flat large propane (30 lb) tank filled at U-Haul for less than $23 US dollars. In fact there was 7 gallons at $3.02 per gallon. One can't complain about the price, even with exchange it's less than I pay for exchange during the summer months. I am certain there are better prices but I'm happy, it's quick, convenient and I don't have to drive any further than when I go for groceries. I like that.
 
So there you have it, a quiet but interesting couple of days. Tomorrow we are going into town again for laundry and another propane tank fill. 
 
Thanks for stopping by. 
 
Until next time... take care, be safe,
