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.

So smooth where the pieces have fallen off.

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,

    1. Thanks Patsy. I’m always amazed at how different light reflects on various things. I didn’t edit the colour at all.

  2. It was a fun day from beginning to end. Seeing the little stone place twice was a little bit of a surprise for sure...lol Stopping to see Ivan and meet Miss Hailey, even though she hissed at me, made for a nice stop. Definitely a good day thank you for showing us the way to your discoveries.

  3. It was fun and we had a good time. It was a bit of a surprise to see the little stone place twice. Lol. It was nice dropping by Ivan’s spot for a few minutes. Miss Hailey is a character! Thanks for supplying the transportation and the driver on our little excursion.

  5. Pretty sunset. Glad you found the copper mine. Ivan has never had so much company. Glad you stopped by. Are your new neighbors in my old spot?
