We moved today....

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

This morning Riley and I were on the road after dumping at the fuel station at Salton Sea by 9 am MST. We enjoyed a leisurely drive along Cal 86/78 to Cal 111 and then I-8 EAST. Yes our westward travel is complete for this year. All travel will be with an easterly hint from this morning on until we arrive back at our summer spot around May 1. 

 



 


Very few photos today. The weather is warm and sunny, with very little to no breeze of any kind. Truly a nice day. We pulled into the SAME road way we were parked on before,  following the little silver streak as it zoomed its way back to the White Lion. We are parked off the same road but on the opposite side of the ROAD , not the wash Deb. We could have taken the same spots as before but not any longer as someone has moved in. Yuma was happy to see us and I think Doug had a bit of a smile too. It seems both Doug and us are enjoying a much more social year than in the past. Called my dad to say we'd arrived, a balmy -4C/25F on the rock in the waters of Lake Huron!!

 





Today is Riley's 31st birthday. She is enjoying the day just relaxing. We celebrated with her Aunt Janet yesterday and tomorrow we will celebrate again, and again yet later in the week. I was thinking she was aging a year for each celebration but she advises that is not how it works. 

 







Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have had an enjoyable day. Today's photos are a mix of phone and iPad. 

 

Until next time.... 

 

Take care, stay safe, 

 

Deb

      Thank you. Welcome to my little blog. We really haven’t made any plans yet but we are thinking because of the cold weather we are getting this year it may be wise to stay a bit lower to have better weather. Our end goal for each crossing is Detroit so I think we will stay south of or near I 40 until the Mississippi River and then head north via interstates after that. However if the cold persists we can always drop lower and then headed more northerly in Mississippi, a good run we have done many times. However time will tell.

    Welcome back to the area and happy birthday Riley, I hope it was a great day and I agree with you, you don't age another year with each celebration and the more celebration in your birthday month the better!

      Thanks, thanks, I’m glad you agree with me about not aging more with each celebration. I also agree with you about more celebrations are better.

      Thanks Nancy.

      We are hoping for a chance to meet you while you are in the neighbourhood. Deb & Tom will be here Monday and I was thinking a visit might be possible after that.

      We did have a great day. See you soon. Same road as before, come to the same spot as last time and look across to the right and you can't miss us. LOL
