Mission Bay, San Diego

When we left Yuma today it was 105 and I knew we were getting close to San Diego by the numerous wind mills, border check points, a very cold RV parking spot and a happy Nikki! 70 degrees, are you kidding me???

Uncle Clinton and Aunt Shirley

We also stopped in and had lunch with Kelly's Uncle Clinton and Aunt Shirley, also in Yuma.  It was great to see them again! While we were there, we did check out my in-law's (Noel and Nancy Johson) new digs in Yuma. If I could have found some pots I would have left some petunia's but all I could find was sand, gravel and Cactus plants. We look forward to visiting with them soon in Chewelah. I sure hope Nancy will make some of her world famous brownies!

A visit with Kelly's Uncle Neil and Aunt Marge

On our way to San Diego today, we stopped in Yuma and visited with Kelly's Uncle Neil and his wife, Marge. We had a great visit and the girls made close friends with their two dogs. It looks like we will be adding a dog to the Fenn family as soon as we find a home in the Olympia area!

Augie's Quail Trail RV Park

Well, it's 1600 local and it has cooled down to 109 degrees! I would like to move here but have been promptly over-ruled by the girls. We can't wait until tonight when it gets 80 degrees or so and we will look for some shooting stars. We might even see the Hale-Bop Comet if it comes our way...

Gila Bend, AZ

We just arrived here at 1400 hrs local. The temperature is 107 degrees, but hey it's not humid! I'm sitting with the cat on the floor of our home resting and waiting for the sun to go down...

Lordsburg NM, KOA

This was your basic RV campground in Lordsburg. The freeway was close and it was in a questionable area, but with Smith & Wesson and our attack cat I really had no worries. I mean really, can a bad guy run 1300 feet per second? When Nikki started talking about the truck ride tomorrow to Gila Bend, AZ, Bella quickly put up her paws and did not want to hear anything about it. We plan on stopping at Kelly's favorite spot, a Walmart super store and I get to stop at Camping World in Tucson; Yipee!!

Carlsbad Cavern Photo's

Wow! What a day at Carlsbad Caverns. I did get the girls to walk 3 miles into this big black hole, then let them take the elevator ride back up to the surface of the world. We had a late dinner then waited for the 300,000 bats to leave the cave at dusk. It took 19 minutes for all the bats to leave and it was well worth the time to watch. We are off tomorrow to Lordsburg, NM for a quick overnight stay.
