Met some wonderful Blog Followers this morning, enjoyed a great very warm, but windy day, and a thunderstorm.

Where are we today ?
       What a great way to start the day sunrise and not to windy yet, Heading out for my morning walkabout to the entrance and back 1 mile. And on the way this couple come out of their trailer walking towards me. She say's George? Yep that me. They have been blog followers for some time and tried to make it to Blogger fest but like we say, life got in the way. They drove by yesterday to see if we were in the same location as Bloggerfest and  spotted our coach. Kinda cool.
         About 10 am were going to stop by and meet us , so that's what they did. What a super couple Ken and Shirley. We chatted and for a couple hours then they were heading to La Posa North and explore a few vendors in the area. It's always nice to meet up with blog followers and get to meet them in person. Too bad they just got here with some cooler temps and high winds for a couple days but it will soon be much better.

        Once they left we had lunch and I wandered to Rv Lifestyles to pick up some "Happy Camper" holding tank treatment. Much cheaper here than any place else we have seen. Fill car with gas only $1.86 a gallon gotta love it.
     On my way back stop by the main event to look at some old cars and hot rods and they were all for sale. Not for us but always fun to look.
           Home to putter around for a bit and even got a couple hours reading done outside in the sun. With the high winds of 30 mph and gusts to 50 mph but not cold . Beside our coach was quite comfortable. Shorts and t shirt and surprisingly very little dust where we are.
its overcast but still shorts weather for me
       Our friends John and Barb have been wanting to go to the Grubstake and today was the perfect day for it. Way too windy to BBQ but we did get a Happy 1/2 hour and off for an early supper at 4 pm.
doggie fix for Suzie
Weber Q away, chairs away and tables
turned over, so we don't loose them
         We had no dust here but off in the distance was brutal. Glad we camped here.
     This be the place wonderful Fish and chips that we enjoy and not windy in here, the large crowds are gone so it was an excellent meal.

oh so good,
another craving taken care of
The best we could do for an interesting
sunset tonight, still very warm
        Nice and warm  day, kinda windy but it was great. It's only weather and this too shall pass and in a few days will be getting hotter. Sure beats what they are dealing with up north, sure glad we here.
         Then at 6:30 thunder, lightning and rain for a few minutes !  Rare in the desert at this time of year.
        Thanks for stopping by again

  2. Hi George and Suzie; I'm sure you are past being surprised when your name gets called out of the blue like that! How nice that you continue to meet fellow blog followers. :) We are experiencing the warmest winter we could ask for if this is to be our last one here in Ontario. Yesterday it was 10 and that is amazing for the last day of January! Keep on keeping on!

  4. I enjoy looking at the cars that were popular in my youth. During our trip we really enjoyed having the first number in fuel prices be a one.

  5. I hope low gas prices make up a little for the bad exchange rate for Canadian dollars.

  9. Sounds like a great day, even with the wind. Today the wind is still with us, though not as bad, and the sky is grey but like you said it will get better/warmer. The added plus we are not expecting at least 12 inches of snow.
