2015

We 'd planned on leaving Pahrump and going to Quartzite after Howard's visit but Don and I have both come down with a flu bug so have cancelled those plans.

Now our plan is to hit the road end of April or first of May to places yet to be determined.

2014

2014 was a good year we were able to do a lot of traveling, see a lot of things and visit a lot of wonderful people. We were so fortunate.

Tombstone AZ

The end of October we spent sometime in Tombstone learning a lot of history. Attended a re enactment of the Shoot Out at the OK Corral. We had a good time.

Leaving Roger's

After visiting Roger and Lynn we traveled to Sonora Texas and visited with Terry Brown's dad at her brothers deer farm.
We had a great visit with Beanie. Beanie and Jason provided us with a wonderful tour of the ranch. I loved being able to pet and feed the deer. The babies were so friendly and came up and nuzzeled against your legs.

Roger Hughes

In November of 2014 we were able to travel to San Angelo Texas and park in Roger's yard which enabled us to have a wonderful  visit with Roger and Lynn. We really had a good time and enjoyed our visit.



We were stopped by the border patrol both entering and leaving Texas. Glad to see they were doing their job!

While there we visited

Fort Chadbourne and Fort Concho lots of history both were great places to visit!

 



Was surprised to see a business with this name in Texas

Howard Moore

Howard's wonderful wife Jenny bought him a plane ticket and gave him a weeks vacation to come visit us as a  Christmas present. He arrived here Jan 8th. Thank you Jenny we really enjoyed his visit with us.

Some of the things we did while Howard was here -

Drove over to Shoshone CA and had lunch at the Crowbar Bar and Grill visited the dwellings built into the side of the mountain used years ago,


Drove to Tecopia Hot Springs and went by the Date Farm

KUDOS to my wonderful husband

Here is the bathroom before we started.



 
Now you enter the door into the main bath and see this
 
turn to the left and on the left  you find a new sink and medicine  cabinet and on the right is a closet

 
if after entering the door you turn to the right you find a shower and toilet.

 
The half bath consist of a toilet, sink, medicine cabinet and vanity.
