Long Time No Post

We have been plagued with poor internet service for a long time now, so posting was not an option or too slow.

We are currently headed for home and are in Patterson, CA for two nights then it’s off to Redding and then over the pass into Oregon early next week.

Debbie and Jerry are traveling with us and we have had some great times together. One of the highlights was a trip to Death Valley, there is sure some rugged scenery there.

Here is the lowest point in the US, (click on the picture to enlarge the sign).

The Sea Level sign was way up the side of the mountain.

They have an interesting museum with artifacts from the 20 mule team borax mining days.

Get up on a high spot and you can see forever.

There is wildlife down here this guy was looking for a handout.

Another trip we took was to the Salton Sea south of Palm Springs this is also an area below sea level but not quite as low. The Salton Sea is –227 ft. while Death Valley is –282 ft.

The Salton Sea is a lake with fish and birds. Everything was camera shy that day so no pictures, sorry.

Our Palm Springs stay was very enjoyable, as was Pahrump. A five day stay there was extended to eleven waiting on some weather to pass, we had hoped to see Pam and Steve in Reno but gave up that idea because we didn’t want to travel in what looked to be some winter weather (freezing temps, and the possibility of snow showers). So we headed west to extend our sunny warm weather for a few days. That brings us to the Kit Fox RV Park in Patterson, we are well off the freeway and we are enjoying the green hills, it’s good to see green again.

More Later,
