Our Location:
BLM on Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California
Around 10 am MST Deb and Tom along with Riley and I all climbed into the Dogsled and headed off on an adventure. First we made a garbage dump run, and along the way learned the Sand Hills Rest area is once again open but with no water available. Good to know!
We did a few little looky look things and eventually crossed the border around 11 am MST. What follows is a picture of our day. Mexico is bright, festive, inviting and ever changing. So come along and have a look. Riley shared some of her photos with me and while the sun made a few a bit distorted, I liked the content.
 |
| First when you cross is the purple store…. |
 |
| It is on two sides of the corner. |
 |
| There are lots of bright colours. |
 |
| That is our dentist office in the bright yellow building. |
 |
| This is the far end of Snowbird Alley. |
 |
| When the sun shines things are bright and shiny here… |
 |
| almost every square foot of sidewalk is filled with vendors. |
 |
On the left bottom, those yellow rolls are filled with handwoven bracelets
probably about 20 per roll.
Can you see the Purple Pharmacy/Store on the right? |
 |
| Various cacti line Snowbird Alley |
 |
| We often have a drink and/or food here. |
 |
| A close up of the overhead lights in the pic above. |
 |
| Sometimes it’s very crowded in some places. |
 |
| And not in other places. Yes, that’s me, like the purple bag? |
 |
Lots of wares for sale. They like to barter.
|
 |
| A small sample in the alley way. |
 |
This is across the alley from the above display. A bigger selection.
This alley leads to the eating place I mentioned above with the fancy overhead lights. |
 |
| A new to us place to eat, everything was good except the music was too loud. |
 |
| Yeah, dollar bills… |
 |
| lots of them… |
 |
| even on the ceiling. |
 |
| This the only pic have of Tom. |
 |
| Riley snapped this, Tom and the Deb’s. |
 |
We aren’t sure what was on the rim, it wasn’t spice or hot.
3 Bloody Mary’s and a Strawberry Margarita |
 |
| A two person band but it was too loud. |
 |
| Everyone wants to sell you something. |
 |
| The food is good here, as are the Adult Libations. |
 |
| It was windy |
 |
| We did however manage. 4 on the rocks Margaritas |
 |
| A couple of light cokes while waiting for the line to slim down. |
 |
| I love the glasses Deb |
 |
We haven’t selfied for a while.
|
We arrived back at our home dirt after an approximate 45 minute trip thru customs lines, and a 10 minute drive home. The time was just 6pm MST, and by 5 passed the hour I was chatting with Dad. We had an excellent day, I hope you enjoyed the visit!
Until next time….
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
