Our Location:
BLM Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California
We’ve had a few very warm days but the nights cooled off for sleeping. We are happy to have our flannel sheets! We have journeyed into Yuma a couple of times for groceries and to just get out of the Igloo. We have been walking more mornings than. We even went to Algodones to pick up some prescription medication, but we literally just went to the pharmacy and no where else.

| Some painted rocks left behind at a site down the way. |
The deer hunt back home went well, Rick and the boys came away with 2, and Leah’s party ended up with at least 2. All in all a good hunt. Jason ended up in the ER with a badly cut finger, I believe stitches or glue were used.

| We parked here our first year in the desert. |
I’ve been chatting with Dad and sister, keeping up with latest news from the Rock in Lake Huron. A little of the white stuff, some heavy frosts, glum, overcast weather, in other words fall has arrived.

Our thoughts are with the Bayfield Bunch as they face challenging times ahead. There are no words or gestures that will help, but we like many others are thinking of you.

Until next time…..
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
Glad you are keeping busy, finding ways to occupy your time.
ReplyDeleteThat deep cut probably happen while cleaning their kills.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
We are enjoying the quiet and restful days very much. We had a pretty hectic spring/summer/fall.
DeleteActually, the skinning was complete and they were cutting up the meat, not even trimming the bones, just cutting and wrapping.
Deb
I'm sure most all your readers are praying for Kelly, The Bayfield Bunch needs her healthy and home!
ReplyDeleteDid you pick up the painted stones in Algodones? or in Quartzite?
It is very true, I am certain we are all thinking of them and hoping for good news.
DeleteThe painted stones are sitting on rocks at a campsite here on Ogilby Rd. It is a site we parked at our first year here on Ogilby Rd. As you can see from the first two collage pics, it was a very pretty and well planted site with Barrel cactus and a sign post, although the signs have faded a great deal. We left the stones there.

Have you ever tried Cain's Chicken in Yuma? It's fast food but I think it is very good chicken. Vern
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never heard of Cain’s Chicken but we will keep it in mind. Thanks Vern.

Sounds like the weather is nice and nothing said about wind and that's good. I have decided to forego the long trek from Florida to Arizona this winter. Going to spend it with family. Maybe, next winter. Enjoy your time there.
ReplyDeleteIt is very good weather, the wind here has been minimal and we are enjoying that very much.
DeleteWe will miss seeing you but spending time with family is always good. Enjoy!
Deb
Sounds like you and Riley are enjoying your days out on Ogilby.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty spot you parked at that first year to bad it is so close to the road.
That was a quick trip into Algodones...lol
Stay safe and hugs to you both.
P.S. Kelly and Al are in our thoughts and prayers, also.
DeleteWe are enjoying the quiet, there is no doubt about it.
DeleteIt is a beautiful spot but it is closer to the road than we like now.
It was a very fast trip, we are planning a longer one soon.
Deb
Happy that you are enjoying your time there, and getting out and about.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, we are looking over the top of our books once in a while and watching the world go by, it’s quite nice actually. lol
DeleteDeb
I just love the quiet of the desert. Glad you are settled in.
ReplyDeleteThanks. There is something about the absolute silence that fills the soul with peace.
DeleteDeb
We can always find ways to fill our time too.
ReplyDeleteSome more active than others!
We have plans for the upcoming week but we are staying close to home for the Thanksgiving weekend.
