A Jeep ride…..

 

Our Location:

Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California 


A warm night, windows open, lots of stars too. Even started the day in shorts right off. I chatted with my sister while having my coffee. She had a great day at the Saturday market, selling over half her stock. Congrats sister dearest.


Gerry and Elva.

We went through a couple of tunnels.


Deb and Tom headed out first to attend church, and by 8:30 am Ken and I were head headed out in their little black car. Riley and Kim both staying home due to being a bit under the weather. We had plans to go jeep riding.


The Naked Date.

More views of the Naked Date.

Tom and Deb (top pic), Gerry and Ken ( bottom pic).


A leisurely drive to Wellton had Ken and I arriving at Gerry and Elva’s place around 10 am. Deb and Tom arriving a short time later. We all sat around chatting for a bit. It is always great to see these folks! 



Baker’s tank.

Before long we headed out for a Jeep ride, Gerry, Ken and I riding in Elva’s Jeep with Deb and Tom riding their Jeep.  Gerry is always an excellent guide, thanks again, it was a fun ride! We stopped at The Naked Date for lunch and from there we were off along the levee for a while.


More tank photos 

Back to Gerry and Elva’s for a few minutes and then off home.  We see John and Brenda are back, welcome back folks. After climbing out of Ken’s car I went home and stayed inside for the rest of the night. 


Ken enjoyed climbing around for a while.

Always interesting to see these old relics.


Chatted with dad for a bit, lots of wet miserable weather up there on our Little Rock in the middle of Lake Huron. It’s been a couple of days already and not looking much better for a number of days ahead. 


Some of our Jeep views.

Thanks for dropping by, I hope you enjoyed the ride.


Until next time…..


Take care, stay safe,


Deb

A day spent at home…..

 


Our Location:

Road Runner BLM, Quartzsite, Arizona 


A morning walk for me had me completing my 6000 steps, a first for me in quite some time. I stayed on the flat going and my hip didn’t give me much grief the entire day. 


So many places to park.

The far away view of Tyson Wash LTVA.

Someone dug this rock out of the ground.


Morning coffee at The Stinger Bee, Deb and Tom’s place ( Celebrating the Dance  ), with Lorne and Sue (A place called away  ) coming by as well. Eventually we all headed off to do a few things at our rigs for a number of hours.


The desert’s version of Spanish Moss.

A very deformed saguaro.

So many future arms.

A different view bot many more arms ringing the entire saguaro.


The sun popped out off and on all day keeping the temps a bit on the cooler side but still a really good day. About 2 pm we could see a motor home heading our way and eventually hitting the brakes somewhere near the Dogsled and coming to a halt with a couple of smiling faces looking out the front windshield, Ken and Kim (Journey with Ken and Kim ) have arrived. Greetings all around and soon Ken was parking their rig between the Stinger Bee and the Igloo. 

Tom, Deb, Elva, Sue, Patsy, my chair, Kim…


Lorne excited about another package…

Patsy, Kim, Ken,Bill, Gerry, Riley, Tom, Deb…

Happy hour brought more folks out, Gerry and Elva in the beautifully shiny silver Jeep of course had to be waved over from a wash away, with Bill (On our way), Patsy ( Chillin with Patsy )and Gibbs coming straight at us with Black Beauty rolling along easily.Lorne, Sue and Archie strolled over and Riley joined the festivities as well. It was a great happy hour.Slowly folks started trickling away, darkness settled in and eventually we all went home. 

Earlier in the day, Percy was realigned.

During sunset, a squeeze in between The Bee and The Igloo.

Sunset and Kim!

The Sleeping Indian and the horse/deer as the sun is fading.


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you had a wonderful day as well.


Until next time……


Take care, stay safe,


Deb
