Our Location:
BLM Road Runner, Quartzsite, Arizona
Yes, we have moved but first a catch up of the last couple of weeks. Of course Doug came for a bit, but you already know that from his blog, so I won’t retell the same stuff. Yep, he got stuck, we got him out and life moved on. He left us a few days ago and is near by at Palm Canyon Rd.

| Lots of things fly over us on Ogilby Road. |
 |
| If you look closely, there are 7, that is a big number all at one time. |
Riley and I visited Mexico one last time for dental cleaning on Monday 18th. It was a very quick trip as everything was backed up due to a late border opening that day and a full parking lot. We didn’t take any extra time there, we didn’t want to wait in the line any longer than necessary.
 |
| We are in Indio, California |
 |
| We are travelling near the Salton Sea. |
 |
| Forgive the dirty windshield. I think the white is a salt residue as we are near the Salton Sea. |
We also managed to visit Yuma a few times for some errands, groceries, laundry, etc. Otherwise it was peaceful but pretty warm. On Saturday 23rd Riley and I climbed into the Dogsled for a round trip of about 300 miles to visit SIL/Aunt Janet and her hubby Dennis. Both are doing well , Dennis escorted the three ladies to a local restaurant for lunch. Thanks Dennis. We had a nice visit and will hopefully see them again in the summer on the Island. We had our first ride in a very shiny black Maserati. They traded in the Bentley earlier this year, we didn’t get a ride in that one! We were home around 5:30 pm. We hunkered down due to wind on Sunday.
 |
| Exiting their gated community. |
 |
| High winds, blowing sand all around the Glamis area. |
 |
| The Cargo Muchacho Mountains off in the distance |
Our morning started around 7 am and found us in the Dogsled by 8am. We stopped at the Chevron Station to empty the tanks, took Exit 3 to 32nd, turned left and at 8:45 am pulled into East Bay tires. Friendly, clean, and knowledgeable, we were on the road again shortly after 10:30am with new rubber all around the Igloo. We are pulled into RR BLM, parked and as set up as we plan to get here before 1 pm.
 |
| Dusty at home too, not just in Glamis. |
 |
| The dust makes the mountains hazy and unfocused. |
 |
| Dust makes an interesting sunset. |
We’ve been talking to dad and folks back home. Good weather, snow, cold, more good weather, etc, etc. So pretty typical weather. Everyone is doing well there and are looking forward to spring.
 |
| The empty spot that was our home for most of the winter. |
 |
| And we start homeward, Monday, March 25, 8am PDT. |
We have a purpose for being here, we want Lifestyles to add an indoor quick connect for our heater and after that we are heading slowly home. It is time, we have the urge and the itch!
Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time….
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
Glad you were able to get a visit in with your SIL before you left the area, and are getting everything accomplished that was on your ‘to do’ list! Safe travels as you head home…
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. We are happy to have wheels rolling but it will be a slow steady trip.
DeleteDeb
Safe travels. Well, eventually, we have to make that journey and we'll be happy to get there when the time comes. Not too soon but soon enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Not all those who wander are lost, we usually all know the way home. Lol. Safe travels when you start heading homeward.
DeleteDeb
Sorry, didn't notice my name wasn't showing up. It's Patsy.
DeleteHappy to hear you are on your way back to home soil, and looking forward to summer visits again! Was wonderful getting to chitchat and hear of your adventures yesterday when you called that crazy lady we both are apparently related to lol
ReplyDeleteI have no crazy relatives that I know of so I have no idea what you are talking about! lol. Thanks Darlin.

Best wishes for an uneventful but beautiful trip home. May God's angels travel with you. See you in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva. Slow and steady is my hope for our travels. We look forward to meeting up again.
DeleteDeb
That was a lot of helicopters to get one RV unstuck, but as long as the job got done, that is all that matters. Safe travels to you two!
ReplyDeletelol. It was a lot and very loud. Thanks for the wishes.
DeleteDeb
So many Snowbirds heading home. We used to get that urge and itch as well in March every year. It's an urge and an itch I miss. It's been a difficult time here this Winter and I have fallen behind on following so many of you RV folks. All the best to you and Riley on your way home and hopefully next Winter I can grab onto everybody's coattails again.
ReplyDeleteWith that new hip, you could probably along beside us! We might even open the door on occasion to let you in.
DeleteDeb
The best we ever saw was Four Helicopters in formation, while at the Hot Springs.
ReplyDeleteTake your time, not sure what season it will be from one day to the next.
Stay Safe and Enjoy the warmth.
It's about time.
The helo’s come in various numbers, various formations and kinds. The fighter jets scream by from time to time as well. The sky is as ever changing as the mountains.
DeleteWe are in no hurry, our plans are shifting but our cross date and destination remain the same. Chatting with Dad every night keeps us up to date with all the weather and temps, but thanks.
Deb
I hope you enjoy your trip home. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Safe travels to you as well.
DeleteDeb
Well it looked like you were well guarded from above and road around in style while in California. Have a safe and enjoyable trip home. Our gas prices here have jumped a dollar since January, hope you have better luck. Vern Boise.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, we have never felt unsafe on Ogilby Road, nor any where we have travelled in the USA. Fuel is just water for the big dog, and while I would like to pay less, it is what it is and we need it. Thanks Vern. We hope you have fabulous summer!
DeleteDeb
Glad all is wrapped up and you're on your way. Be nice to get that extra gas connection so you'll have it when needed. Keep in touch as you travel and have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug. We will be in touch soon.
DeleteDeb
SO glad you got new tires!! I do like Indian Wells ... a good place to stop along the way. Hoping your drive finds good weather. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteNew shoes for the Igloo has my mind resting easier. We so enjoyed meeting you this year, perhaps we can get together again next year too. Take care.
DeleteDeb
Caching up on blog reading ... We too are moving east, but toward the eclipse.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!!!
Thanks. Safe travels.
DeleteDeb
Just read Doug's blog, so glad you all got together one last time! Will look forward to next blogs to see where you are headed! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was good to touch base with Doug. We start home on Tuesday, April 2. A slow but steady trek.
DeleteDeb
Tom doesn't ever remember seeing seven of those go by at once. Glad you and Riley ended up being able to go and visit your sister in law. That was some blowing dust going through Glamis. Though that was a pretty sunset with the dust. Enjoy your last days at RR hope you have nothing but lovely sunshine. Hugs
ReplyDeleteIt was a shock to see so many at once, but it was interesting. We enjoyed our time together and hope that we will meet again on down the road! Enjoy the visit with your friend MB. I will be keeping an eye on the blog in the future….lol.
DeleteSafe travels. Hugs.
