A nice night, vents open and before long the door was opened to the morning warmth. A walk for Riley and I to American Girl Mine Road, cross country of course, and that was the extent of our business doings today. 

This rig reminds me of Doug with is his Class C,  Jeep and the Dog is the exact same colour as Yuma.

The flowers are almost finished on this little bush.

The desert is full of surprises, I don't think I've seen this before.

I cooked some sausages early in the day for lunch, and managed to sit in the sun reading for a couple of hours before we put out the awning and attached the sunshade. Inside for lunch and a noise outside of the window caused us to peek out and sure enough a familiar rig was pulling in to our location.  Deb and Tom  arrived around the 2 pm mark. 

 

The yellow is so bright and cheerful.

 

I wonder when the flowers will open?

And what colour they will be?

After they were set up we gathered at the Igloo for happy hour and enjoyed the shade and later the sun, along with laughter of course, chatter and just a comfortable feeling of being with special friends. A quick chat with my dad tonight, lots of wood cutting going on up there on the Rock. 

 

Heading toward American Girl Mine Road.

Not a lot of folks here now, but still a few.

Friends have arrived here on Ogilby Road!

Goodnight from Southern California.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have had an excellent day! 

 

Until next time....

 

Take care, stay safe,

This morning Riley and I had errands and chores to accomplish. We loaded ourselves, the laundry, propane tank, gas can, etc into the Dogsled and headed off around 8:30 am MST. Our first stop was diesel and gas (for the generator) at the Arco Station at Exit 2. Diesel was down to $4.49 per gallon. We managed to fill both the truck and gas can and get rid of some garbage all at one place. A good start to the long list. 

 

Our second stop was for propane at U-Haul. Here I was informed it will be the last fill of this tank as it expires at the end of the month. Looks like we may be using smaller tanks until we get back to Ontario to exchange this one again, since it left Ontario as an exchange. What a pain in the ...  On the plus side, it was cheaper to fill this tank than last time. Less than $30.00 USD for a 30lb tank from flat. 

 

Our third stop was the laundromat. We managed to snag 4 big washers and within two hours had our laundry all completed and back in the truck. We also managed to find a post box for some mail back home. Two  more things off the list. 

 

The last stop was at Walmart on S. Pacific Ave for groceries and drinking water. We managed to find everything we needed, fill up the remaining 4 drinking jugs and put a jug of Def Fluid in the Big Dog. Wow, we were finished and heading home around 12:30 MST. 

 

We pulled in as Doug was pulling out, he came back for a quick chat and then scooted off to town. Riley and I managed to get everything put away and sitting down to lunch within the hour. We were happy to have this long list behind us. 

 

Around 3 pm MST the Stinger B and family pulled in. We went out to greet them and then came back inside while they did their parking and setting up. We had a quick happy hour and soon the cold and rain had us all heading inside. All is well in the neighbourhood. 

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

 

Until next time.....

 

Take care, stay safe,
