We've moved east into Arizona.....

 

 

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,
