Another desert day weather still much the same cool, and windy, but really out of the wind and the full sun is pretty nice. The trick is finding a place out of the wind. Got some computing and coffees done and a few walkabouts the campground. Our friends Ron, Loree and Freddy pulled out this morning heading to another adventure , that I know they will enjoy. I know we will meet up again at some point either this winter or back in Ontario at Rock Glen resort. Chatted with a couple of neighbours. Then before we knew time for our light lunch at 11 am.

| a nice sunrise on my first walkabout this morning |
Back home someone had parked his sand rail across from us for a bit and wandered over to check it out. Nice looking rig and pretty new, looks like Subaru engine in the rear , like a lot of them use not a Volkswagen one and this is turbo charged , sure will move through dunes nicely.

This is the spot we can enjoy the sunshine out of the wind in front of our coach.
 |
we have the perfect spot to sit outside no wind here
in front of our coach |
After lunch I took a nice drive around the desert neighbourhood to see if anything was new. Not a lot but I do just enjoy the quiet desert scenery for a while.
Then back home for my afternoon tea and reading outside enjoying the fresh air and warm sun sheltered from the wind. This is the life.
Back behind us around the LTVA area still lotsa room here and a few rigs enjoying this area.
 |
| bit north of here cruised down this road beside the train tracks |
Then to visit Felicity and the Centre of the world Plaza. We did that many years ago and is kinda cool.
 |
| the museum of Granite is another site to see. |
 |
| the church on the hill |
 |
| love this staircase apparently came from the Eiffel Tower years ago |
Now back home I passed a another trailer stopped by the sewage dump station up the road. probably playing the dunes over the holidays.
 |
| couple of nice sand toys |
Now reading outside for a while, on one of my walkabouts I noticed the highway patrol whip into the park, and followed it down towards our campsite. Not sure what was going on but there was 4 sheriffs here and about 4 hi way patrol, an ambulance and 2 fire trucks. The ambulance did not take anyone away and nobody knew what was going on?
 |
| Maybe a domestic distribute? |
So back home again enjoying our e-readers in the warming sunshine. Rob dropped by for a visit to chat for a bit, Then Bill walked by with Clemson and Suzie got another doggie fix.

| doggie fix for Suzie with Clemson |
Soon time for supper, a couple of burgers tonight on our Weber Q and Suzie wanted a side dish tonight, A rare one we do, but a tasty treat. We seem to be having a lot of treats lately?
 |
this is quick easy and tasty I added some more broccoli and tomato
and served with our burgers |
A choriozo burger for me and a shrimp burger for Suzie, on english muffins warmed on the Q in foil.
 |
| a nice tasty meal we both enjoyed |
Then as we did this managed to catch another wonderful desert sunset.
There ya go just another desert day enjoying this wonderful sunshine, out of the cool wind, Now really does it get much better than this? Not for us. Soon the wind will stop and the temperature will rise, and before we know it heading back home to Ontario, to cool spring weather.
Wanna thank y'all for joining us today and I just know you had a great day as well.

Where have we been this Winter?
Your still having better weather than we are. Glad you are enjoying the weather once you find a place to be out of the wind.
ReplyDeleteNo complaints here the sunshine, blue skies and fresh air is wonderful out of the wind.
DeleteNice looking dune buggy but not our thing. I'm with Suzie on the shrimp burger :)
ReplyDeleteCommon George, you can't leave us hanging. We need to know how the police story ends. Somebody has to know.
Great sunset, we haven't seen the sun for days.
It is a nice looking ride for sure, but we don't need one either. As of now, nobody I talked to knew what was going on. I like the shrimp burger too but wanted the chorizo, nice and spicy. Sunny here pretty well everyday.
DeleteSuch excitement, now I really want to know why they were all there.
ReplyDeleteIt was exciting, to spice up a lazy afternoon. I may never know.
DeleteIt was another great day here, we preferred indoors today. the sun is gorgeous though.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever hear what was happening in the park?
It was a wonderful day, As long as it is nice enough to be outside I love enjoying it. We each have our own preferences that's what is so nice about this lifestyle.
DeleteSo far never heard, just lots of Police, fire trucks and ambulance.
Well, as a general rule, EMT vehicles and fire trucks would never pull so close to those RVs if there was "action" going on when they arrived. Also, there must have been a firearm involved before they arrived and is the reason for the arrival of four armed police officers instead of two. Yep, probably a domestic dispute involving a weapon.
ReplyDeleteThat's what we assumed all standing around watching, but no one knew for sure. No guns shots were heard but think that would be about it.
DeleteI often stop at the 'Center of the World', it's an interesting dream come to life as it continues to evolve. It has an interesting ongoing history as does the money that established it.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at the $ spent on the desert toys! They can get expensive FAST!
Not sure ifthe excitement of the day was a good thing, but it had to be something different!
We have been there a few years ago and was very interesting the History in Granite is really something to see as well. Yes these desert toys can really get pricey some are so nicely put together too.
DeleteExcitement fo spicy up a lazy afternoon.
We made a stop at the "Center of the World" last year quite an interesting place. The Museum of History in Granite is really something to see.
ReplyDeleteWe saw quite a few of those desert toys heading east on New Years Day as we were heading this way.
It is a very interesting place and worth a stop to check it out.
DeleteThe desert toys everywhere our here in the desert, a very busy week over the holidays.
A domestic dispute in an RV park? She must not have followed directions! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm sure local gossip will let you know what happened.
That's what I am thinking some younger people there as well.
DeleteWe might here something I am sure.
Those sand rails are something else for sure! Nice you could find a place out of the wind to read for awhile. Dinner looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are amazing machines. We can usually find a spot out of the wind to enjoy the warm sunny days here. Dinner was very tasty thanks.
DeleteIsn't it awesome just hanging out and enjoying winter. Hope it warms up a little for you. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYes Lorne it is awesome. Enjoying this winter in the sun, It will be warming up in a couple of days. meanwhile the wind has died down.
DeleteWow! Can the sky be any more blue? Good times! Here the rain is biblical…
ReplyDeleteWe really do love these blue skies, they dry air and sunshine. You building an ark yet?
DeleteNice to see you have missed out on the snow that seems to be around that part of the country right now. Those blue skies are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYes bonus, no snow just clear blue skies, sunshine and windy. much better today.
DeleteGreat life you're enjoying!
ReplyDeleteYes Stew we are enjoying it while we can.
DeleteSounds like an entertaining area and park. Center of the World sounds very interesting. It's now on my list of things to check out! It was good to get caught up with your posts today. I always enjoy reading them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheri glad that you got caught up, We do enjoy this area so much.
