This has been a busy two weeks for us here in the desert.  As you can see, RV'ers come from all over the US and Canada to camp in the desert and enjoy the camaraderie of others. We met some old friends, and made some new ones.  We went to some American Red Cross classes, and enjoyed visiting with some new DOVES, Disaster Operation Volunteer Escapees.





     Back at the Circle of the Montanas, we saw great sunrises, and sunsets; had some nice campfires, and lots of good food.  And of course we shopped for great bargains at the flea markets, and in the Main Tent. 

     We went to the Desert Bar in Parker, AZ, just because it was on our bucket list. They had great food and beautiful vistas.

     Here are a few pictures of our time here.  Then off we go for more adventures today, heading west to Joshua Tree National Park.  See you down the road.

The BIG SCOOP

SNOW AT BALMORRHEA

 WE started out the first day with a rainy wet day.  The next day we rode behind a a huge trailer transporting this bucket to west Texas.   So our friends said that El Paso was due to get 6 inches of snow, so we altered our route, and headed up to I-10 figuring the road would be better if the weather turned bad.  Well, half hour heading up 285 to Fort Stockton it started snowing.  We luckily got to Balmorrhea, and were the able to get the last spot at Saddleback RV park.  As you can see, I think we were in the center of the snow.  We ended up staying an extra da.
TODAY we left with the sun shining, thinking it would warm up, but it did not happen.  Below is a picture of the ice storm in New Mexico.  We didn't get any rain or snow, but the temerature stayed around 30 degrees.  We are nestled in Dreamcatchers RV Park for a few days, so Rollie can sort out some of his projects.   That is all for now...
