On a long and lonesome highway....: cool morning

Visitors, liking this spot....

Our Location: AZ 95 BLM, near Quartzsite, AZ

A nice quiet night last night, the road traffic died down quickly as the sun sank in the sky. Although I didn't take any photos of sunrise, it was a nice view. Cooler mornings here in the Quartzsite area than in Truckhaven. However the day time temps heat up nicely and before long we're taking layers off. This afternoon's high was in the mid 70's/23ish in Celsius degrees.

If you look really closely you can see our neighbour that pulled in just after we did. He's in the trees there.

From this distance Kofa Mountains look a bit more interesting but I'm still not feeling any pull to visit.

Now that section looks a tad more intriguing to me.

A walk this morning had me enjoying the flat areas of the desert, and the Saguaros of course. Some very interesting plant life in the desert. I'll share those photos tomorrow.

The sun is starting to set now on the Kofa Mountains.

Can you see our neighbour now? This is a zoom lens so he isn't nearly as close as he looks.

The pink over the mountains is reflecting on it.

We were expecting company this afternoon and sure enough a nice little dusty black Jeep pulled in, weaving and dodging until they arrived right in our little yard. Friends Deb & Tom (Celebrating the Dance) were smiling as they stepped out of the jeep. Hugs and how are ya's of course followed. We moved around so some were in the shade and some not. The afternoon was gone before we realized it and all too soon we were hugging and saying our see ya's, and I didn't take a single photo. It was hard to believe the entire afternoon was gone so quickly. We had a great visit and enjoy spending time with this wonderful couple. We feel fortunate to have met them last year and hope to spend more time with them in the future. Truly an awesome couple. Some laughs, some chatter and just easy visiting. Who knows maybe we'll see them again before all of us leave this area.

Last nights sunset, Jan 25 here just a little south Quartzsite, AZ.

Other than add my logo, I have not enhanced these photos. All of the sunset photos are as they came from the camera.

A call to dad to see how things are going and inquire about Jason & Leah and their where abouts. They are currently in Great Falls, Montana and will head north to Lake Louise, Alberta. Leah wants to skate on the lake, as she did swim in it a few years ago on their honeymoon. Then it's a short jaunt to their final destination in BC. They have travelled approximately 1600 MILES/2600 KILOMETERS in two days. They left yesterday at very dark thirty in the morning.
