TOOK JEAN FOR A RIDE IN THE DAMON CHALLENGER

AUNT JEAN’S FIRST RIDE IN A MOTORHOME

Lots of sunshine & ‘slightly’ warmer today.  We were able to walk out into the desert for a ways this morning.

RED TAIL HAWK

Aunt Jean had never ridden in a Motorhome before so we slipped over to the CONGRESS DEPOT MARKETPLACE this morning, picked up the Damon Challenger we have for sale, & headed into Wickenburg.  Jean really enjoyed the ‘big view’ out the windshield & liked the soft cushy ride.  It was a good opportunity to change the rig’s title at the ‘Out West Titles & Tags Motor Vehicles Services.’  We changed it from Ontario to Arizona.  That just eliminates another step when we sell it.  The Damon originally came from Florida & is a U.S. based vehicle.  That makes things easier………

ANOTHER NICE DESERT WALK THIS MORNING

A year ago today we were boondocked in Borrego Springs California & set out to find a couple "Palm Tree Oasis places & a PUMPKIN PATCH in the Borrego Badlands.  Got ourselves turned around a bit & had to traverse a few narrow ATV roads.  And it was just a year ago Pheebs & I climbed GHOST MOUNTAIN to the Marshall South homestead.  Pheebs first time there, & my 5th.

EVER SINCE WE TOLD JEAN ‘GOLD IS STILL BEING FOUND IN THESE PARTS’…..SHE HAS HAD HER EYES GLUED TO THE GROUND:))

GROANER’S CORNER:((   The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.
The nun had made a note, "Take only one, God is watching,"
Moving through the line, to the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
One of the boys had written a note, "Take all you want, God is watching the apples."

  5. Since John is a rockhounder, he is always walking with face to ground. Now he has me doing it. It is hard on the neck and shoulders.
