A jeep ride, meeting some fellow Canadians....

 

 

Our Location: 

Road Runner BLM, Quartzsite, Arizona

 

This morning around 10:30 am Doug, Yuma and I headed out in his jeep for a ride back toward the mountains. It was a leisurely drive and we stopped often to take a few pictures, climb a few hills and take in the views. I hope you enjoy the photos I'm sharing. 

 

Quartzsite is over that way.

Doug and I came across this claim sign.

Even in death the Teddy Bear cactus is beautiful.

That's Doug way over there doing his word game. 



Can you see him now?

 

The little Silver Streak is down there on the right.

 

A warmer day today and very little wind. The temperatures reached about 75F/24C this afternoon, perfect for sitting outside chatting with some new friends and some other well known ones as well.  While Riley and I were having lunch Dave and Cheryl from Alberta, Canada drove up and not 15 minutes later Bill (  On our way....)and Patsy ( Chillin' with Patsy...)from Ontario, Canada showed up. They all settled into the front yard of the Stinger B chatting with Deb, Tom ( Celebrating the Dance   ) and Doug ( Miss Adventures Travels  ). After lunch Riley and I joined them. The chatter was non stop and the afternoon passed very quickly and soon they were saying their goodbyes, Dave and Cheryl first and soon after Bill and Patsy. We have plans for another meeting in the near the future, so the parting wasn't a final one for this season.

The mountains are ever beckoning to me.

Left around the circle, Doug, Bill, Tom, Deb, Cheryl, Patsy, Riley and Dave.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed the visit. Thanks for stopping by. 

 

Until next time.....

 

Take care, stay safe, 

 

Deb

  2. Nice little cabin find. Always makes me wonder who owns it now.

    1. There was a sign saying something about 1906, and not to destroy the history. A second sign called it the Yellow Dog Mine. You could see that the sign about not destroying things didn’t apply to the folks that visited, lots of things that didn’t come from 1906 were scattered throughout both cabins.
