A GRAY DAY SO I TOOK A LOOK BACK FIVE YEARS AGO TO SEE WHAT WE WERE UP TO ON THIS DAY

The day was so depressingly dull I never took a single photo.  Picking a year at random from our Archives I decided to have a look at where we were five years ago today in 2013 and I see we were boon-docked in Arizona’s Kofa Mountains between Yuma and Quartzsite.

SUNRISE OVER THE KOFA MOUNTAINS

I REMEMBER IT WAS THE MORNING  WHILE OUT WALKING WE STUMBLED UPON A LARGE MYSTERIOUS CIRCLE OF STONES ON THE DESERT FLOOR

IN THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE WE FOUND THIS

THE LARGE STONE CIRCLE AS SEEN FROM GOOGLE EARTH

THE LARGE STONE CIRCLE AS SEEN BY ME

Another gray sullen overcast day with a few snow flurries in the air so it was a short morning Jeep ride for Pheebs and I.  At the Bayfield carwash I hosed off the last few day’s accumulated road salt.  Wrestled my big 22-10 ton leather recliner into the Motorhome this morning.  Luckily the back easily comes off but it’s still a struggle getting that heavy base up the steps and into the rig.

LATER IN THE MORNING WE SET OFF ACROSS THE DESERT FLOOR IN SEARCH OF ‘HORSE TANK’

TRAILS A LITTLE ROCKY IN SOME SPOTS

LUNCH BREAK WHILE CHECKING THE MAP TO SEE WHERE THE HECK WE WERE

WE HAD TO DO A BIT OF ROCK SCRAMBLING TO FINALLY FIND WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR

BY THE LOOKS OF THAT GREEN VEGETATION I THINK WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS UP THAT-A-WAY…..AND IT WAS

WE HAD US A BIT OF HOOFING TO DO TO REACH THAT SPOT

WATERHOLES IN THE DESERT MOUNTAINS ARE CALLED ‘TANKS’

HERE KELLY DODGE’S A LARGE CROCODILE….CROCODILES IN THE DESERT??  YA RIGHT:))

KNOWING OF SEVERAL OTHER TANKS IN THE AREA WE KEPT LOOKING

   

HEY THAT’S ME WAY UP THERE

YES, WE SURE LOVE OUR SOUTHWEST ALRIGHT

GROANER’S CORNER:(( I had been teaching my three-year-old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord’s Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer:“Lead us not into temptation,” she prayed, “but deliver us some e-email. Amen.”
