2/19/10 – 2/22/10 Friday-Monday
The past few days have been much like the rest…..going to the hot spring in the morning and again at night. In between the days are just leisurely filled with hanging out at the trailer.
Thursday night looked like it was going to be a great sunset. We sat our chairs out and waited for the show. In the photos look for the little bird sitting in the top of the tree/bush. I also took some photos of the area around us from the road beside our space just to give you an idea of where we are.
We met a lady from Salinas, CA. This is a few miles above Marina, CA where Thomas’ Mom and Dad live. Small world! Her name is Pia and she wants us to call her when we get there so we can get together.
On Sunday while Thomas took a nap, I went for a walk along some of the winding roads in this area. I took some really neat photos of a bush, the cracked mud left from the rain and one of the really old trees here. In the mud shapes was one that was heart shaped. How sweet.
Later, we took a ride into Holtville to see about a CA fishing license. Driving by the canal and seeing fish jump and not trying to catch some was driving me bonkers! However, CA likes their fish and not non-residents. They wanted $42 for a 10 day non-resident license and $110 for a year. Maybe next time.
On the way into town is a sign that I finally was able to get a photo of. Beware Bad Dog and Shot Gun. Friendly neighborhood, LOL.
There would be no fish in the pan but I did have the Sun Oven working. That night everything we ate was cooked in the Sun Oven. The photos show it all. Barbequed ribs, baked sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, and baked onion….yummy. My first attempt at cooking ribs turned out delicious!
After stuffing ourselves silly, we needed to take a walk. Our closest neighbor knew Pia previously and told us where she and her friend were parked. They had a couple of dogs with them so we headed over to their camp to deliver the rib bones. Pia and Gary were not home so we hung the bones in a tree at their site. Hopefully they would find them.
On the way home was another delightful sunset. The red turned a deep neon burgundy red that could not get any brighter. I only hope the photos can give you a partial inkling of the richness of the colors.
Sunday night we woke up to the coyotes sounding like they were right in our camp. I worried that Pia and Gary didn’t find the bones and the scent drew the coyotes into their camp. They were using a tent. But with two dogs, hopefully the coyotes wouldn’t come too close. Guess we will find out.
Monday was a day to really enjoy the hot springs and start getting prepared to move tomorrow. Our next destination will be The Slabs outside of Niland, CA.
UPDATE: The goats are still behaving and it seems that the weather has broken and is getting better than it was back in Rutherfordton. Dan and Darlene seem to have everything under control.
Hope all is well with each of you.
