Winter 2019-2020
Westward bound
Florida route. Once again we rented our home to Gloria for the winter.
She takes good care of our home while she escapes the cold of Canada.
Celebrating an early Christmas with our son, Brian.
Cindy did a tremendous amount of work in preparation.
Her family joined us.
Thank You!
Of course we traveled through Alabama, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
Fortunately nothing exciting happened on I-10.
The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area is also
known as America's foreign country.
It is a mostly untouched river/swamp system.
We overnighted in the welcome/visitors center.
Merry Christmas.
Onward through Texas, only took a week and a half!
Waco Mammoth is a new National Monument and our
376th National Park site we have visited.
The dig site tour.
Arizona route.
Crossing Texas wore us out, so we stayed in
Wilcox for a couple of nights.
This visit to Chiricahua National Monument is a repeat visit. (1999)
Beautiful tree, Judy and a pretty good picnic lunch in the monument.
We spent 2 weeks in the Yuma area and twice visited our friends
we met while on our 2005 Copper Canyon, MX tour.
Joann and Nai
Missed you Don and Barb, but we did toast you.
We took a drive to visit the world's largest gem/RV show.
We bought neither!
Jefferson Davis wanted to transport goods
and people across the desert via camels.
The Civil War stopped the experiment.
Syrian caretaker, Hadji Ali (Hi Jolly) remained
in Quartzite and the camels were set free.
The last reported camel sighting was 1942.
Los Algodones, MX is a border town near Yuma,
but across from Winterhaven, CA.
It is a dental/optical/tourist town that draws thousands daily.
We visited 4 times and it would be safe to say that we enjoyed
APPROXIMATELY 4 margaritas.
Plus several meals, music, dancing, and hair care.
