You are one of a few people who have gone back reading my posts over the years. I can't imagine the patience that must have taken but I'm glad you found some useful info along the way. I remember meeting you in the desert west of Yuma Arizona along Ogilby Road. And then the rains came turning everything into a big muddy mess. Nice to have you living in Bayfield now and to think we actually had something to do with that:))))))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-17382026608941942242020-07-03T21:04:46.267-04:002020-07-03T21:04:46.267-04:00We read your blogs every day Al, and enjoy them ev...We read your blogs every day Al, and enjoy them even more now we are in the same area. We started following you a number of years ago (Mr F.G. pointed us at you initially). <br />Once we discovered you I also went back in your archives, picking up many tips that helped make our first Arizona trip about 4 years ago a success. It gave us some confidence as we started boondocking (first in Stephen A Forbes park in Illinois on the way south, then at Darby Well Road for our first Arizona stay. I ended up working through ALL your older blogs, wonderful resource. So you never really know what part of your blogs will be useful or interesting to your many readers, if not today then tomorrow. There's always something of interest though. We hope you continue for many years yet.

It's guaranteed to remove the paint on any US Navy Ship 3 fathoms below the water line. Or any ship for that matter.

You gave me those night vision binoculars. Second time we met was at the first Bloggerfest on Plomosa Road north of Quartzsite. Thankyou for still being one of our readers after all of these years. Now that you are in Leamington you will be closer to the border and can shave off about 3 hours travel time from where you were.

I remember talking to a couple late one afternoon. It was about the time RV Sue had rolled in on her first ever boondocking venture. Could have been late 2011. Should be easier for me to remember people because in our boondocking hermit like ways we normally don't meet too many people. Anyway, hello again and thanks for being a Bayfield Bunch follower.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-86677854358978802112020-07-02T20:30:11.416-04:002020-07-02T20:30:11.416-04:0061 comments!

Makes me feel good to know we were inspirational in you picking up the RV lifestyle and heading west. Thankyou for being a friend and I remember your first trip west when you and Dolly dropped in to see us in Congress Arizona. Hey remember the time we looked for your lost smart phone near 'Hole In The Wall' campground in California's Mojave National Preserve. Oh, and our short hike up the 'Cow Plops' west of Ajo Az.

This is the first time I've commented. Shame on me for taking what you've generously offered and given nothing in return. Today, I want to offer you something. You can reverse your diabetes. I know this because I have. It's not easy to overcome sugar and carbohydrate addiction, but it's worth it because I'll keep my eyesight, kidneys, cognitive function, limbs, etc. Read "Diabetes Code" by Dr. Jason Fung. Dr. Fung is a Canadian nephrologist, a kidney specialist who got tired of watching his diabetic dialysis patients die when diabetes is a self-inflicted, preventable, and reversible disease. Again, I know this for a fact. I am no longer diabetic and at 73 I feel better than I have in years. This is my gift to you for all the years that you have gifted me with your talent for writing and photography. Thank you so much.Mizmozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176559042751388973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-39389855253602323322020-07-02T07:24:12.801-04:002020-07-02T07:24:12.801-04:00Wow Al, what a memory!
