Day 15-Winslow, Arizona

Day 15

Well we just got back into the trailer after sitting outside watching the stars and reading. You can’t see stars like this in the city, but when you’re in a desert it’s beautiful. It was a long drive today. When we left Red River it was 39 degrees. It is now 10:30 at night and 78. It is pleasant though. It will be very hot for the next few days. In Vegas it’s 109. When we left this morning the views were spectacular. It’s amazing to watch the landscape change. When in the mountains you see beautiful pine trees. Many blue spruce. As we kept going south, the mountains became more rocky and here in Winslow, it’s flat land. After all we’re in a desert. Our campsite is so neat and different. It’s interesting seeing the scrub brush  and desert wild flowers. Haven’t seen any critters to speak of. Saw lots of cattle and horses. The cattle are truly free range. When Joe went to get ice, he had to stop for a herd of cattle just walking down the road and into a car dealership. He said there were some longhorns too. I saw a rabbit crossing our campsite. If Moe hadn’t been tied up he for sure would have chased it. On our way here we were parallel to the Rio Grande River. Beautiful. People were fishing and rafting. I would have loved to raft. The pictures I am posting are of the ride out of New Mexico and just some idea of the different topography. Tomorrow we’ll hike a little and for sure go stand on the corner! Night all.

Day 8 Fun with family

Day 8 Joe informed me that my days were off by one. Oh well, I’ve told you everything I needed to say so I’m continuing with the day I’m on.😊 Today was a fun day with family. Went over to Chuck and Marilyn’s house for breakfast . She’s such a good cook. We had fruit, quiche, and blueberry muffins. Delicious. They have remodeled their house since we were here last. Looks beautiful. My niece and her family came over for lunch. It was great seeing my niece Brandi, and my great niece Margaret. We were also celebrating Brandon’s ((Brandi’s husband) birthday. Marilyn cooked a shrimp boil. Have never had that. You put a lot of things together in a pot and cook. She had corn on the cob, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and onions. It was very good. Then time for luscious desserts. My great niece made homemade key lime pie, my favorite. Brandon made a homemade blackberry pie. Ice cream and brownies as well. Needless to say I only had a small salad for dinner. In the middle of all this eating ...

Day 27...Yellowstone

Day 27-Yellowstone  Day 27- Yellowstone Well we have no cell or internet so I haven’t been able to post this in a timely manner. Hopefully, we’ll find someplace tomorrow with good cell service or wi-fi. So today was full of adventure . We woke up early to head out to see the sight. The first place we visited was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. What a sight to behold. All this places in the ground with bubbling water/mud . It is so unreal to think about all that’s going on below the service. Got good pictures. Our purpose today was to see critters. Supposedly they are to be found in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Hayden is known for its bison and Lamar is known for grizzlies, bears, wolves and other critters. We were not disappointed in Hayden . We saw all kinds of buffalo and got some decent pictures. We also went to the Mud Volcano and it is as it’s name implies. Hot, hot bu...

Day 16 Standing on the Corner

Day 16 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in FB land. Hope you all had a great day. Joe and I had a different and fun celebration. We are staying in Homolovi State Park which is Hopi Indian land. There are two main archeological sites. Currently there are not digs going on but we hiked to two of the sites. They have uncovered  two Pueblo’s  (villages) which were fascinating. They have uncovered several rooms and even a kiva (religious room). There were plenty of pottery shards that have been found. There have been vandals here so now it’s a crime to take stuff. There are signs all over the place. Anyway, between the 2 hikes we probably walked a mile or so. It was hot and we were climbing up on a Mesa so we were winded. I have been drinking lots of water so I think i’m doing better with regards to dehydration. After the hikes, we went to downtown Winslow and got pictures at the “Standing On The Corn...
