Finally, an updated post!

Well, it's been a few months since we updated our blog.  Blame it on Facebook or just plain laziness.  We have had a busy spring and summer.  When we left the Yuma area we went to Tempe, AZ to work for six weeks at the baseball stadium where the Anaheim (California) Angels have their spring training.  It was fun and exciting.  We worked in a food concession stand selling overpriced hot dogs and beer.  Since leaving Tempe, we have visited with friends in Tucson, Benson and Los Cruces.  Traveling across Texas we stopped in Tyler for a week to see our niece Rachel and her lovely family.  We are now at Ft. Yargo State Park in Georgia where we have been doing volunteer hosting since early May.  In two weeks we will leave here to travel north to Michigan for the rest of the summer.  Here are a few photos to catch you up.

A group of Boomers traveled to Parker Az. in time to have a super bowl party enhanced by a rainbow.

Back to Yuma and a visit from grandson Dustin. Actually we just keep him around to keep Toby occupied.

A week in the Benson area to visit with some of Nan's classmates at Kearsley H. S. class of 1965.

The trip East with a stop in Tyler Tx. and a visit with niece Rachel and her wonderful family, Ivan, Maria and Jovan.

We arrived in Georgia in time to see our granddaughter Kaylee graduate from Loganville H.S.

Fort Yargo's own Fishing Bridge. 

We'll close with a sunset over Marbury Lake on Georgia's Ft. Yargo State Park.

Los Algodones Mexico

It was a warm sunny day.  We drove from Sidewinder Road where we were boondocking with other Rvers near Yuma, Az (0n the California side).  Parked at the Quechen Indian parking lot for $5 and walked over the border into Algodones, Mexico .  We went with friends Jim and Linda Mossman.This is the town of Algondones with its narrow, bumpy streets and crowded storefronts.                                                 We ate lunch in a courtyard surrounded by shops and cantinas. Our lunches were delicious and the cost was about $7 US for each of us.

     The line at customs to get back across to the U.S. was short, only about a 30 minute wait.  Viva! Mexico!

Sunrise in the Desert

Christmas morning sunrise

A beautiful sunrise on Christmas morning looking out our front door.  We are truly blessed.  What a life.

Ajo Az.

    Camping  next to Pig Mountain  South of Ajo.The view  from our front door.The back yard aint bad either.

We left our friend Dodie,s place 1 day before a major sandstorm hit Casa Grande Az. The high winds hit us too but we were already settled in on BLM land south of Ajo. When the winds got bad we just pulled in our slides, put Toby in the truck and went shopping in Ajo. When we came back the wind had died down, we put the slides out and had a pleasant evening.

AND A VERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HANUKKAH TO ALL

The red rocks of Sedona

We left the beauty of Wyoming behind, driving through Colorado and new Mexico to Northern Arizona and the ever spectacular Red Rocks of Sedona. All who have traveled through here will recognize Cathedral Rock at Red Rock Crossing.

Beartooth Pass

We got up very early on a frosty Saturday morning and headed out to Beartooth Pass, north of Cody.  Jerry was kind enough to give us a tour of this beautiful place.  The pass itself is around 11,000 elevation but the drive getting there is really something.

The Irma Hotel

While in Cody we went to the Irma Hotel, which was named for Buffalo Bill Cody's daughter.  The elegant dining room was furnished with period decor including a hand carved bar that was commissioned by the Queen of England and shipped over to American from the U.K.
