A trip to Mexico….

 

Our Location:

Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California 

Don’t you just love when a plan comes together? Of course you do, and so do I. Blue skies, warm temperatures and good friends, a great day. A perfect plan. 

Deb D, Tom, Ken and Kim..

John, Brenda and Riley, all at the little outdoor cantina.

The six of us climbed into the Dogsled this morning at 10:30 am and headed down the pathway toward John and Brenda’s (John and Brenda’s Incredible Adventure) place. We noted that they too were climbing into their big truck and falling in behind us. We headed off to Los Algodones. 

Tom, John and Ken.

Deb D brought us some special napkins.

We had an incredible day, much laughter, a few drinks, some food, a little shopping and a short wait in line at the border crossing. Back home around 4:30 pm we all came together for happy hour with John and Brenda also dropping in for a little more visiting. Darkness and cool night temps had us all saying our goodbyes, see you down the road to John and Brenda as they head off on the next part of their adventure. We have enjoyed getting to know them better in the last few days and look forward to having our paths cross again in the future! Safe travels friends.

Only three this fly over…

We called it a night not long after they departed. We of course I think you should know by now means Deb and Tom as well as Ken and Kim, Riley and I.  Riley was tired after Mexico and missed HH. She is battling a sinus issue.

Goodnight from Ogilby Road.

Until next time…..

Take care, stay safe,

Deb

Fun Saturday at Adventures East Campground....

Our Location: Adventure East Campground, Baddeck, NS

 

Woke to the sounds of rain again this morning but it's hasn't rained since we traveled here on Thursday. However it looks as if rain is the weather for the next couple of days. We're debating what we should do as we've all had enough of the wet stuff. 

 

Water fall at the side of the road.

Very green, don't you think?

 Yesterday (Saturday) Jan and I toured the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in the small town of Baddeck. Riley opted to stay home. The small town of Baddeck is very picturesque sitting on the edge of Baddeck Bay. Rolling hillside, lush greens of new foliage in various hues, quaint small town feel, it feels like new found awareness after a long sleep. The air feels as if it's gearing up for some busy times but they haven't quite arrived yet. Anticipation I suppose is the tinge in the air. 

Very curvy road, scenic as well.

Sis had a difficult time getting out but here she's happy to have just gotten in.

 

We toured the museum which was educational, informative and busy. Mr. Bell was indeed a very curious man, smart, intuitive, and busy. His interests ranged over a wide variety of areas, from water, air and land, as well as helping the deaf. Truly an amazing man. 

The view from one of the whale watching pull offs.

I believe this is the MacKenzie River area as seen from the same spot as above.

 

Back home we all enjoyed the park for the remainder of the day. We watched children and adults alike participate in the Western Weekend. Sack races, three legged races, water transport, ring toss, etc. Clearly a good time was had by all. Around 5:30 there was a chili cook off in the big tent where 14 different pots of chili were in the running. Number 14 was the winner by overall ballot but none us picked that particular batch. Rolls were included and folks were encouraged to go back and taste again their favourites. A donation box was available. Such wonderful events planned for the special weekend courtesy of Katie, the sister of the park owner, Shane. Shane is only a year into this park ownership but doing amazingly well. We wish him luck!! The evening ended off with a movie for the three of us and then off to bed. 

Some great views.

We just followed this ribbon on and on.

We are debating about moving on today, what we should do and where we should go. Various weather forecasts have us thinking it may be time to head  toward PEI or back toward the inner reaches of New Brunswick. None of us have an desire to tour Halifax in the rain, it's just not fun. So we will decide that when we are all up and moving. 

Some pretty interesting shore lines along the Cabot Trail.

Yep, we went that way.

This  may have been my favourite view.

We passed through here.

The Atlantic Ocean.

I hope you've enjoyed the views.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy more pictures from the Cabot Trail. 

Until next time... take care, be safe, 

Deb
