January 31st

We have been busy the last few day doing something I just can't remember what.  Anyway, we had some friends stop by Sue & Bob Kerig.  They arrived on Monday afternoon and we had a great visit then it was down to fixing a big pot of Clam Chowder.  We had a great dinner and then visited way to late.
The next morning I had to haul a load of bikes over to Pismo and Bob went along for the ride.  It was nice to have someone to talk to while driving over and back.  We figures out later that the girls wanted Bob to go with me so they could go out shopping.   They had a good time, Bob and I did OK when you think it was a nice long drive of 12 plus hours.  Anyway Bob you where great company enjoyed have you with.
Wednesday we were debating about going out for a ride or taking Bob & Sue over to the Slab City.  After we found out the Bob has been out in the desert with his grand kids and Son-in-law we went on a ride to Slab City.  They have never been their before and we wanted to show them how different it is to Quartzsite.
First stop was Salvation Mountain, we found out the gentleman that started this project is in a nursing home and other people have stepped up to keep it going for him.
After walking around this place for a little bit.



In a couple of years we will have to come back and see how much more they have gotten done.  We drove around the area and we all came to the agreement that Quartzsite is a better place to stay then here.  We had a great day together and really had fun talking about our trip to Alaska.
Today Bob & Sue left and we head to town to get a few things.  After a few stops and all the things we needed we got back home about 4:00.  Well another day gone by and the month of January is come to and end.  WHERE DID IT GO!!!!!
Oh well next week we will get back out and do a lot of geocaching because we are really behind.  Plus we have to find the little people again.  Back to work tomorrow for a couple of days and then another long weekend.  Got like having Monday a noon off tell Friday morning.  Life is rough but someone has to do it!!!!

January 22nd & 23rd

On the 22nd we had a great day, we got up a little late then loaded the RZR up for a day of playing out in the desert.  We had one thing in mind "finding the little people again.
No, we didn't find them, this was from our trip out in October.  We must of drove all around them.
Maybe they are over this hill, you just know we are getting close.  At least we hope to be getting close.
OK, so they are not over that hill, lets look some where else.
Let look over this hill!!!!! just maybe we will find them.
We did find this neat looking cactus, but no luck on the little people.  After about 5 hours of playing in the desert looking for the little people it was time to head back.
Cyndy, liked the looks of this rock, she called it like a broken egg shell.
We did have a great day, and seen a lot of new trails.  We went back home and headed into town for our weekly grocery trip and deposits for the shop.  We both got hungry and stopped by our favorite little Italian Restaurant in Indio.  Another great dinner and poor Turbo never got any left overs, we just couldn't help our selves.
On the 23rd we got up early, and where off to Quartzsite to see the RV Show and visit with some friend's we haven't seen in a year.  We were up and out the door a little bit after 7:00, I think Cyndy is forgetting it is our day off and she is suppose to sleep in.  She didn't seem to mind.  But once we were on the road I understand why she didn't mind, she went back to sleep. 
As we were driving out of the desert up to 10, we seen these really neat rock formation.
As we were driving up throw this canyon you could tell that during a flash flood the road would not be where I wanted to be.
We arrived in Quartzsite a little after 10:00 AM and found our friends Bob & Sue.  They had just gotten to the big tent.  So we met at the AVC both and said our hellos to the people working the booth.  We haven't met them before but they were very out going and seem very nice. 
There didn't seem to be to many people around when we start walking around, but by the time it was over the place was packed.  We had a great day visiting with Bob & Sue and look forward to them coming over and stay here for a couple of days next week when we are off.  Looking forward to them stopping by.  We stopped by there camp site out in the BML land and seen another couple that have traveled with us, Ralph & Jerry, it was good to see them also.  Well back home and another long day, tomorrow we are off to Poway to pick up a couple of bikes for Steve.
