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.
Ken and Shirley |
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 |
doggie fix for Suzie |
Weber Q away, chairs away and tables turned over, so we don't loose them |
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.
Barb and Suzie |
oh so good, another craving taken care of |
The best we could do for an interesting sunset tonight, still very warm |
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

Your community seems so friendly. And you're famous, blog followers. I don't even know what that is:)
ReplyDeleteR,Ver,s are friendly people , we are all here to escape the cold winter weather.
DeleteBlog followers are people who follow out blog and many others as well.
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!
ReplyDeletePatsy it still surprises me when strangers call out my name, but is always nice to meet new people too.
DeleteThat is great that you are having a warm winter, makes it easier to get through.
Soon you be on the road.
We filled up our vehicle the other day at $1.74 but did see a sign on another station after that at $1.69. Now those are prices I like!!
ReplyDeleteThats for sure makes travelling more fun and affordable.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLove the old cars too.
DeleteLoving the fuel prices as well.
I hope low gas prices make up a little for the bad exchange rate for Canadian dollars.
ReplyDeleteIt sure helps.
DeleteThank you both for letting us take up a portion of your day (hopefully not too much)..It was wonderful meeting you! You were right, very dusty here..we should have listened to you! :)) Sure enjoyed the thunder and lightning show last night! See ya on down the road!
ReplyDeleteNo problem hope it warms up for you soon. The rain will help with the dust for a bit.
DeleteTravel safe and hope to meet up with you again.
You always know how to have fun... whether it be a car show or meeting up with folks. What a great life!
ReplyDeleteAlways have fun even if we do nothing.
DeleteThe days just evolve.
Glad you were hunkered down during the weather. Definitely not a day to be out with the BBQ!
ReplyDeleteWe were just waiting for the perfect opportunity to go to the Grubstake and this was it.
DeleteSounds 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.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day and like you said it can always be worse.
