Our Location:
Quail Ridge Rv Resort, Hauchuca City, Arizona
We left Ogilby Road on Sunday morning at 7:30 am. We drove approximately 320 miles, used 29 gallons of fuel and arrived here at around 1:30 pm MST. So a mere 6 hours after leaving Ogilby Road. The trip was uneventful and passed by quickly. Just a note to myself, I pulled at a faster rate of speed, 60 mph instead of my usual 55 mph. We had a bit of a head wind as well, plus a full fresh water tank, which we normally don't carry when towing. I have no complaints with the Dogsled. I drive in tow and on cruise, so it's always consistent.
Someone used this as a marker to their camping spot. 
The twists in the wood is eye catching.
We pulled into our site at # 138 and can see the Stinger Bee with our very good friends Deb and Tom just down the way, The Suites housing some of our Canadian friends Bill and Patsy (and of course Gibbs) are a few rows away but not far. We all had an enjoyable happy hour, and I didn't take one single photo yesterday, so you will have to visit Chillin' with Patsy if you want to see proof. Lots of laughter filled the air and the hours slipped past quickly. We are looking forward to spending some time with these fine folks while we are all here for a few days.
Even in death there is beauty in the desert. 
Some times it's harder to see than at other times.
This morning all three of us headed off to different dealerships, Bill to Ford, Tom to Jeep, and me to Chev. Tom was our driver and after some confusion we all managed to reconnect and where home before 9:30 am. Only the Jeep came back.
The tire has been here a very long time. 
An interesting place, there is a stone seat on the right by the old chair.
It is the year for mechanical issues it seems. The Dogsled had surgery to replace some heater hoses in Yuma before we left and is now having a biopsy for a check engine light. Hopefully the surgery is quick and painless. We will hopefully know by the day's end.
Can you see the dog sitting across the wash? 
Not the best pic but you get the idea.
A
catch up of our last few days at Ogilby Road, California. Jerry and
Elva Shannon treated Riley and I to dinner at Da Boyz Italian
Restaurant. A wonderful visit and a very generous gesture. Thanks again
you folks. We waved as we passed by Wellton we hope to see you again in
the fall!!!
For Deb, the Ocotillo are blooming out on Ogilby Road. 
And this grand old fella is passing!
The prickly pear are still blooming too.
These pics are left over from Ogilby Road, I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Until next time...
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
Hope the surgery goes well! How nice of Jerry and Elva to treat you like that.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice of them to do so and we appreciated it very much. We had a great time. Surgery went well, costly but being all healed is important. LOL

How sweet of Elva and Jerry to take you and Riley out for dinner. Really like seeing the Ocotillo in full bloom, thank you for posting that picture. Actually all your pictures were fun to look at. There is so much to see in the desert if you just look around. The twisty wood and the dog where especially fun to see.
ReplyDeleteI have a number of other pics of blooms I'll post at some point. I always think of you when I see them green or blooming. Maybe the talking to you gave them worked. LOL.
DeleteIt was very generous of Jerry and Elva to take us out and we had a great time, a wonderful visit.
Deb
Interesting photos. I hope the check engine light is an easy fix. We enjoyed dinner as well. Thank you for joining us.
ReplyDelete.
Thanks for the generous date!! We had a great time, it was great to see you two again and we look forward to seeing you again in the upcoming fall!! The light is off and all is healed now!
DeleteDeb
Despite the check engine light you managed some pretty good mileage. Sounds like another nice Happy Hour with all the friends gathering again.
ReplyDeleteWe did make excellent mileage, about 2 hours longer than our normal drive but this year the trip home will be made using longer travel days, Riley and I both think it's the way to go this time around.
DeleteHappy Hours are usually filled with laughter and great times. Laughter is a very good medicine for what ails! Good friends make it easy to enjoy the time, chatter never lags, we seem to pick up where we left off no matter how much time has passed.
Deb
The Ocotillo is beautiful, they are my favourite cactus, they go from an ugly duckling to the prettiest plant! I hope you all have a great time together before you hit the road east.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we are enjoying our last few days together! The Ocotillos are indeed the ugly duckling for a while!!
DeleteDeb
We are so pleased that our paths cross one more time before the final trek.
ReplyDeleteGerry and Elva are pretty special people. ❤️ i don't need to tell you that. 😊
Glad for the afternoon news on the Chevy, wish our was a quick.
The pics are great, especially the blooming cacti.
We enjoy visiting with you folks and look forward to doing it all over again in the fall!
DeleteJerry and Elva are amazing people and we enjoy their company a great deal.
I was happy the truck was at least an easy fix and hope things go well the BB. Fingers crossed.
I have a lot of other blooms I will post at some point, I just don't want to over load with too many. LOL
Deb
I hate those check engine lights. Good luck ... hope they figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI hate 'em too. The last time it healed thyself and didn't come back on until we arrived here. How sweet is that? Sometimes they just need some attention I guess. Although it would have been nicer if it waited until we were in Ontario. Lol
DeleteDeb
Glad to hear it looks like the check engine light is good once again! Yep, Jerry and Elva are great people! I knew her way back when LOL. Enjoy your time before you move on! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Dogsled is humming along again and we are enjoying the company of friends for as long as we can. We start heading home in earnest on Thursday.
