When we first arrived here there was probably 7 or 8 rvs near us (relatively speaking) . Today there is only 1 small unit further towards the hills than we are. There are very few places that provide the peace and quiet that we enjoy here. As Bob has been dealing with a bad cold I have been doing my walks alone. At home I would never feel comfortable walking in the woods by myself but here I never worry about people or animals. It's still too cold at night for the snakes to be out and I think coyotes would be more afraid of me than visa versa. I can walk for an hour and Bob can usually keep an eye on me in all directions, especially if I wear a bright top :)...who is this woman, I do not know her, but I do love her boots....lol...
I so enjoy my mornIng walks. We are here earlier than last year and from the looks of the desert flowers and cactus it has been a dry year. No desert Lilys so far and only one beaver tail cactus with three small blooms.
We are licking the wounds of our colds enjoying watching the Olympics. Unfortunately we have to watch a very American slant to all the events. I know we are lucky to be able to watch them at all sitting out here in the desert. We have our solar power and digital local TV that broadcasts NBC's coverage. Tomorrow is "dump" day so we will pack up and go to a Shell station about 11/12 miles away to dump our tanks and fill up our water. Then we are good for another two weeks. We will probably stay in this area til the end of the month and then re evaluate the weather window for our trip north and home.
Too busy BBQing and watching TV to check out our sunset tonight....mustn't have been too exciting or I would have noticed.
Go Canada!!
