ANOTHER QUIET DAY FOR THE BAYFIELD BUNCH

THIS WAS OUR LAST BOONDOCKING DAY NEAR DARBY WELLS ROAD WEST OF AJO ARIZONA ONE YEAR AGO TO-DAY

If I thought Friday was a quiet day at the ranch, I hadn't met Saturday yet. The temperatures have really come up the past couple of days so we spent the biggest part of the day staying out of the sun relaxing & reading. Kelly went into Elfrida this morning & brought back some books & DVDs.

A year ago to-day we were spending our last day boondocking just west of Ajo, Arizona near a place called Darby Wells Road. I'll include a picture of that. We then went to Hickiwan Trails RV Park http://hickiwantrailsrvpark.com/ in Why for a night before heading over to the town of Truth or Consequences on the first leg of our long journey home. But, that was a year ago.
HEY, DON'T FORGET ABOUT US GUYS

It took me a bit of looking with my tri-pod & 7x50 binoculars to-night but I was finally able to locate Comet Lulin. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/35992534.html Thanks to the Hermit in Kitchener for jogging my mind in an email a few days ago to step outside & have a look for it. If I didn't know any better I'd say they sure have a lot more stars down here in southeastern Arizona than we have up there in southwestern Ontario Canada. But, I do know better:)) Beautiful night skies here. MAKING GOOD USE OF AN OLD BATHTUB

To-night's DVD was "Traffic" with Michael Douglas. Not the kind of movie I would normally pay to go see in a theater but on a free DVD it was OK. A little hard to follow in spots so you couldn't doze off for a second because you would soon become lost in one of the movies many twists & turns. It did win some awards & it did keep us entertained.

Hard to believe we're entering the final week of February already. A month from now we'll be watching the weather closely & formulating a homeward journey plan for an arrival time somewhere around the first week of April I think. I'm always sort of glad to get home but it doesn't last long. Within a week I'm itching to be back out on the road again heading for places I've never been before. I have always had the travel bug in me but these past few years it has really begun to bite. And not working full time or hardly even part time anymore doesn't make it any easier. So, some decisions have to somehow be made over the course of the next bunch of months. With the economy the way it is, everything is up in the air for everyone & it is a harder time than ever for decision making. AFTERNOON CHORES ARE DONE SO HEADING BACK TO THE RIG

Well it's nearly 11 o'clock & I've been sitting here spinning my wheels for something to write about long enough. Time to pull the plug on another day. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:))

No photos for the web album to-day.
