Let the Fun Begin !!!! ??!!1

We just arrived at the site of Dick and JoAnn's new home. This is why we came back to the west coast for a few months.

And this is the view from our front door. They have been making improvements on the property for a few years(well and well house, septic, last summer a 3 car garage shop) and this year along with us we will frame and close the main house in for the winter. Day to day pictures will be posted on Have Tools Will Travel and in Photo Albums link. Wish us luck, we love building homes and traveling so we should be on our way again in a couple months.

Back and Mom and Dad's

We arrived in Quartzsite a few days ago and have been catching up on hugs , cleaning and life in general. We didn't have much of a visit when we passed thru on our way to Florida last January and now it seems like Mom and Dad are about the only ones around. They will be heading out on an adventure in July but until then Dad is creating "critters" for Mom to paint and then it's summerizing the place.

We did catch up with friends Chris and Lou the night before we left and had a great dinner. Of course we'll be seeing everyone later in Burney where we are building a home with some friends. Chris and Lou live near there and Mom and Dad are beginning there "excellent adventure " with a stop by the job to make sure its going well.

Some things never change!!!!

Yep It's a Really Big Dent in the Ground

Last night we stayed at Enchanted Trails RV Park and Trading Post just west of Albuquerque NM (the trading post means they sell cool jewelry and other stuff in the office.)
We knew we had 2 more nights before reaching Mom and Dad's and and this place was perfect. Dogs allowed, Passport America, free wifi, hottub,nice laundry and even a Camping World right next door.
Well the hottub wasn't up and running and the wifi wasn't bad(if you weren't using Vista like John hahahahah!) but it was great to sit and watch the storms go by.
Today it was stop and look at that really big crater we have been driving past for so many years.


And it was a HUGE dent in the ground. The Meteor Crater Museum was really interesting. The wind was blowing so hard that we couldn't walk on some of the trails but it was still a fun way to spend a few hours.

Water In the Desert

Click on this picture to see how much fun you can have diving in New Mexico!


We've driven thru Santa Rosa many times on I-40 ,but not this time.
I've been trying to dive for the last 3 months and this I couldn't pass up.
The Blue Hole is used for dive training here in western NM.
Thanks to my lovely assistant John I even have pictures.
