We had rain last night! Only a bit though. Cruised around the desert for a while and the Grubstake for some BIG fish.

Where are we today ?

         We had some rain overnight just enough to wash the dust off everything, cut down the dust and water the cactus. A few water puddles around and some muddy sections and today is cooler again. But with the sunshine, clear blue skies and out of the wind was able to enjoy some reading outside for a couple hours.
         Around 9 am I wandered about town just checking some of the vendors that are always here. Not too much new and nothing jumped out at me to say "BUY ME".
Some really good deals on LED bulbs now, a lot places can get them for $5.00 our less, I remember the first one we bought was over $20.00  some 9 years ago. Don't really need anymore, we only use a few lights on a regular basis so don't need the expense.

      A few puddles of water here and there but this area is mostly gravel so not a problem.

       Cruised around the Main Event pretty quiet still here but did see a couple old vehicles, kinda neat.

     Then home for an early lunch supposed to be going for an early supper with another couple this afternoon.
     After lunch cruise around our area in the desert for an hour or so check out the rv's and  land yachts here, and different setups here.

now this is a Land Yacht

so much wide open spaces here
just chose a spot to park and set up camp

Camp host where we buy our permit

       Cruised a bit more some elaborate sites, nicely set up.

         Now some of these people here for the winter. These 2 coaches below each had 8 solar panels, extra propane tanks and auxiliary generators too. They will have no shortage of power thas for sure.

       Mid afternoon we are getting hungry and the other couple cancelled, not feeling well. No problem we going anyway was looking forward to going back to the Grubstake for some BIG Fish. Its been a few years and have always enjoyed a good feast here. We choose  Monday afternoon no crowds and pretty quiet just the way we like it.

       Got there about 3:30 only one other couple there, perfect. Good service and great food plus happy hour $2.00 pints of draught beer bonus.

the ceiling like we have seem in many bars here

Suzie ordered the sea scallops, very tasty she said.

And me the 2 piece fish and chips,
Almost exactly the way I mad them
in my restaurant, excellent

       Not a bad day at all as long as the sun was shining as it did most of the day, temps in the high 50's but quite a bit warmer in the intense sunshine and out of the wind.

       Back home to read outside until after 5 pm, when it starts to cool down. Another sunset was pretty nice but not exceptional, I think you have seen quite a few sunset pics already.
