Redlands and home

Redlands, CA and the end of the line
The RV is now back in Redlands and we are in our base home. The odometer now reads miles and I know that somewhere I recorded the mileage before I left on the trip but I’ll be darned if I can find that now. I believe we have travelled about 12,000 to 15,000 miles but whatever it was it was great. We left with a full wallet and gas tank and now have an empty wallet and ½ a gas tank full of fuel, but I would not hesitate a moment to do it again.
Along the way we met people who could not comprehend why or how we could be gone from home so long. Life is full of choices and for those who asked how we could do it that is not the choice they should make. For me it was the ideal choice to see the Alaska tundra, the Arctic ocean, the glaciers of British Columbia, the redwoods of northern California, the windswept beaches of Oregon, the rolling pastures of Wyoming, the plains and desert of South Dakota, the locks of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, the places of my youth in Ontario, the art galleries of many of the cities we were in, the rushing water of Niagara Falls, the quaint towns and cities of Quebec, the fall colors of the Northeast, the history of places like Salem and Boston MA, the forests of the Smokey Mountains, the music of Branson, and the Emerald and Carlsbad Caverns.
I know that many will ask what was my favorite and I can only say that like your children they are all loved and although they are different you love them all.
It will be good to see Vera my daughter and Gabe her husband and of course Christopher and Caitlyn my two most beautiful and wonderful grandchildren. It will be a time for family now and the holidays to renew those times when we are all grateful for what we have and what has been given to us.
I will not post in this blog for some time to come as life will be just a monotonous, boring monotone of the same things happening over and over again. Then the next adventure will begin again next fall when we will head south this time to see the wonders of Central America. Yes for those of you who wish to listen in and read we will be going as far as Panama by RV if we can. I long to see more of this world before it is no longer possible for me to do so.
I hope that any of you who have read this found some humor and it has made your life a little richer for the time you have spent reading it. I have not in the past read any of the comments sent to me nor responded to them. It is not that I do not care but time does not permit me that luxury. I have all that I can do just to write the blog usually on a daily basis with all of the other things that need to be done on the trip. You to dear reader have adventures to lead and places to be and loved ones to hug before the day is finished.

Kino Bay to Quartzsite

Kino Bay to Quartzsite, AZ
We left Kino B ay in the morning and made our way back to Tucson, AZ to the Diamond Casino for the night. They had a seafood buffet there in the evening so to help them out we went to the buffet to help pay back for some of the free camping we did in their parking lot. The buffet was really great with king crab legs, shrimp and top sirloin with pie and ice cream for dessert it made for really full tummies for the night. The only downside was that I did not have a wifi signal in the RV and at that point was too lazy to go outside near the casino to get hooked up. So ya all will just have to wait till we get home to Redlands before I can post the last of the blogs.
We arrived in Quartzsite about 1:00 pm and did some browsing and shopping for nothing much of anything. I bought a new water hose for the RV and some misc odd tools for Kino Bay but there really was not much that we needed. The vendors have not really arrived for the winter season either, so there were just a few of the mostly permanent shops that were open. Still Bev managed to find a basket for me to cart down to Kino Bay next time.
After doing that it was about 3:00 pm and I did not relish the idea of driving the 4-5 hours needed to get home so we will spend the night here in the desert. The really cool thing about this area is that you can just camp out on the BLM land anywhere in the desert. There are large expanses of open area available and at this time of year almost no one is around. Not so in just two more months when the desert will fill up with over 250,000 RV’s from the snowbirds flocking here after Christmas with the family in the northwest and northeast. Then it becomes a virtual RV party out here with different groups camped out in wagon wheel style in the open desert.
We will return here also for about a week in January to be with the Southwest Trek Fun Club which meets here every year. About 80 or so RV’s all of which are the same make and manufacturer. It is a pleasant time to meet with those you have not seen in a year and have a really fun time acquainting yourself with others you have never met. People from all over the US and Canada seem to come here.
Well it must be time to close this blog and get some dinner for the evening and then the desert does tend to get cold in the nighttime this time of year so it will be bundle up time.
Tomorrow night we will be safely tucked into our beds once more in Redlands which will be the climax ending to this trip. It was a great time and a wonderful adventure.

Leaving Kino Bay

Kino Bay Mexico Leaving
Well yesterday was another shrimp day b ut this time with chicken which I barbequed also. That along with a glass of vino, a salad and some guacamole made the evening just great.
We took a long walk on the beach all the way to the new town pier and then back again. Naturally Bev brought back more seashells than she could carry in her shell bag so I got to help with the effort. We seem to have to collect this endless supply of crustacean shells that lie about the beach here, some things you just do not fathom.
I rearranged the garage again and we did free up some space with all of the unpacking and sorting and “let’s see, why do we even have that here”.
Next I gave the electrician some items that I know we won’t use and this freed up more space so that we can now go out and buy lots more things that are unnecessary. Ah the joys of furnishing a home are always different joys for the man of the house as compared to the woman of the home.
I also got myself a haircut in Kino Bay while I was here. Now this is a real experience you just cn not miss out on. I asked around for a barber shop or una persona querpas mi pello. Well no barber shop but the person to see to do this was Patricia (Patreecia). So off I went in search of Patricia’s salon and after being lost three times finally found it with a faded sign Patricia’s Unisex. She had two people ahead of me and told me to come back in una hora (one hour), which I did faithfully. Next was to decide whether I should have a clipper cut or scissors (you know I just don’t really care about those things). So Patricia you decide what the old guy needs, so scissors it was. Well the room is filled with women and kids all speaking very fast Spanish but I have this grin on my face as they all comment to one another about life in Kino and the strange gringo. She did a really great job on my hair though and for $5.00 it was a real bargain. I shall stop there again when mi pello is long.
Well there was another great sunset over the Sea of Cortez and this was the last one we will see for a short time (need to get back to California and see the grandkids).
Lastly we met with Ariel to go over the list (you know that list of items that still need to be finished before we can really call this somewhat finished). So that didn’t take very long because it was really the same list as last time.
This morning it was put the sheets over things that we did not want to have exposed to the dust, bring in the cushions from the patio furniture, take out the trash and oh yes have another shrimp omelet. Now that was the really good part of the morning.
We packed up the Jeep with the few things that we were going to bring home. That is another nice thing about going here is that you do not need to pack and unpack. All your clothes, toothbrush and comb are already here for you when you arrive, and just leave them here when you go home.
The trip to Tucson was uneventful and the RV was waiting for us when we arrived. So tonight it was decided on to go for a brunch at the Diamond Casino and then head out for Quartzsite in the morning. Well that’s all from the travelers for now and next you here from us we may be home in Redlands.

Kino Bay, Sonora, Mexico

Kino Bay, Sonora, Mexico
Well we travelled two days ago from Tucson to Kino Bay where our second home is. This is about a 4-5 hour drive with stops and is about 250 miles from the border to our home.
First is a stop in Nogales for gas and an Egg McMuffin ( I have not had one on about 4 months so it was time). The across the border for an inspection which we were passed by on and then on to KM 21 where you get your Tourist Visa. For us this is old hat and we only needed a 5 day one for Sonora only so there was no charge. We did have to pay the three toll road fees down to Kino but by now we are used to that and the toll road was just resurfaced for most of the way so I was happy to pay.
Next was a stop in Hermasillo to get some food as whe have not been home for 5 months and the pantry was empty. So after leaving Wal Mart we were on our way for the final 65 miles to Kino and home.
We arrived and had to pick up the extra key at LaPlaya Hotel where they keep it for me to let the cleaning lady in once a week. Thankfully, they know us right away and just handed over the keys and we were on to the house. I had forgotten that they had installed the security alarm and did not even know the combination so needless to say after 30 seconds we made quite an alarming homecoming. Well back to the Hotel to get the code and then all was well again.
It is always interesting to come home to a place that is not quite finished. Our clothes were still in boxes and we spent the next day and a half unpacking and putting the house in order. Thankfully the closets were finished and the clothes bars were up. Next in the order of business was to get the boxes in the garage down that Bev wanted to go thru and then I was off to Hermasillo and Home Depot to check on some light fixtures that we want to put up. I have been trying to get these for 1 ½ years and maybe just maybe we can get them in another 17 days. That is the frustration of building a home, if you want it has to be ordered and it may or may not come in.
We went to dinner at El Paro Rojo the first night as we were both very tired and cooking just was not an option we wanted to look at. I do like their fish stuffed with octopus, shrimp and oysters and covered with a betchemal sauce, mmmm good and for dessert a cream cheesecake. Well stuffed and tired we went right to sleep.
For the next two nights we had a steak barbeque ant then steak and shrimp. Wow the shrimp were really big and for $5.00 I was able to get more than enough for dinner and then a shrimp and egg omelets for tomorrow morning. You can see the shrimp boats out in the ocean just off the house so that is why they are so plentiful now.
We met with our builder and architect today and Ariel has a list now of things to complete before we return next time. I finally feel that we are getting to the end of this project and will be happy when the final little things are finished. A home is never really finished but you finally get to the point when you say enough, it’s done.
So we will stay tomorrow and then on Monday leave for Tucson again and then back to Redlands and the adventure is over. Well there is always another adventure just over the horizon you just don’t know sometimes where it will take you.

El Paso to Tucson, AZ

El Paso to Tucson. AZ
We tried to leave early from El Paso area but by the time we got out of there it was 9:30 am and the wind had already picked up. Now wind in the desert is something to really contend with in an RV. Especially the 30 mph winds that always come up when the desert air is warmed during the day. This is almost always either a head wind when I am driving or a cross wind. Why do I so seldom get a tail wind which would make life so much easier.
The desert gradually changed from the Chiwauwa Desert to the Sonora Desert after going over several mountains and thru many long desert valleys. This was really boring driving with nothing to see but the sagebrush and signs warning of sandstorms and zero visibility.
Finally we arrived in Tucson and made our way to the Desert Diamond Casino where I found out that I could leave the RV for up to 7 days. So tomorrow we are off to Mexico and Kino Bay.
We did visit the San Xavier Mission today and took some pictures. This is one of the lovelier missions founded by Father Kino here in AZ. The grounds look pretty much as they did in 1698 when the mission was first settled and we also climbed the hill behind the mission for a look at the cross which is there.
Well so long for today I have posted most of the last blogs and so am now up to date except for this one. Maybe tomorrow morning as I need a siesta right about now. It was a long day and now is the time for night –night.

Carlsbad Caverns to El Paso, TX

Carlsbad Caverns to El Paso, TX
After viewing the Caverns and exploring them during the day I decided to drive as far as possible before nightfall and then rest. Little did I realize that there is nothing between Carsbad Caverns and El Paso but nothing. First you are in the Chiuwawan Desert and you begin a slow climb along the desert floor and then onto the side of the desert next to the Guadalupe Mtns. Now you climb the Guadalupe’s and they are not small short mountains.
You are on the old Butterfield Stagecoach route and following the Texas Mountain Trail as you now descend the Guadalupe Mtns and are into the desert floor once more with salt flats for which there was a minor war fought over in the 1800’s and now you continue westward wit hthe sun in your eyes always as you first ascend and then descend into El Paso.
This is a huge city which I tried to skirt but we went right thru the center of it at night with all of the traffic that a huge city has. So now that that has been accomplished we must now get out of this truck parking lot we were in for the night and continue to Arizona. Ah well at least gas prices dropped in TX and it was $2.39 last night when I filled the tank.

Carlsbad Caverns

Carlsbad Caverns
We spent the day touring the Caverns and it was just as spectacular as the tourist brochures tell you it will be. Discovered by Jim White, a 16 year old cowboy in 1898 and really unrecognized for many years it is now a national park.
We first saw it the night before with all of the bats coming out of the natural opening to the cave. There were thousands and during the summer months as many as 300,000 to 1 mil Freewing Mexican bats come out of this opening. This is what brought Jim Whites attention to the cave.
We descended 780 feet the first time in an elevator to take the Castle tour. Here you see the Kings Room, the Queen’s Room and the guide gives you a good overview of the Caverns. One great vault after another spreads before you with giant stalactites and stalagmites everywhere you look. This was enormous with rooms reaching some 200 ft high and hundreds of feet long. And they just continue everywhere.
Nest we took a self guided walking tour of the Great Room and after another 1 ½ miles of walking it was time for a break. This place just keeps going on an on forever and everywhere you look it is amazing.
Lastly we went down the natural entrance by walking back and for the on switchbacks till we had descended the whole 780 feet as the early Jim White might have done only he did it with ropes and a single lantern made from a coffee pot.

Santa Fe to Carlsbad, NM

Santa Fe to Carlsbad, NM
We left in the morning on route 285 after coming out of the Santa Fe Mountains. It was cold last night there was frost all over the windshield of the Jeep and the top. We were however at about 8500 feet I think so that is not so remarkable.
Hwy 285 was sometimes two lane and sometimes four lane wandering in more or less a perfectly straight line over the grasslands. For much of it there were no farms, ranches or anything else for that matter. Just a lot of lots and lots. There were low hills but mostly it was flat with possibly climbing a few mesas just outside Santa Fe.
As we approached Artesia, NM things started to change with irrigation and you could see the large fields of hay that are irrigated in a circular fashion. Then to we are now in the oil and gas region of NM with oil and gas wells and pipelines dotting the landscape. Artesia itself seemed to be a major refining city.
Let me say that we made it thru Roswell without so much as seeing an ET person or spaceship. I think that it must be the off season or maybe the schedule only runs at night. You know how those red eyes can be. Ah well, Bev was disappointed but we had to move on. They did have a really large New Mexico Military Institute in Carlsbad which was quite impressive with its architecture.
Then it was onto White’s City on Hwy 180 and Hwy 62. Really this is only a gas station, hotel/motel and RV park just outside the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. But there is no RV park inside the Park so this is where we are spending the night. We drove up to the Caverns before sunset and just got there in time to see the bats coming out of the natural entrance to the cave. Really quite impressive even though this is not the best time of year to do so as they have started to migrate south. Sorry but no pictures were allowed of the bats leaving the cave but they really did fill up the sky.
Tomorrow we will again go to the Caverns to take a tour and do some more cave exploring. I understand that one of the best places to see is the Palace. Oh well that is all for now.

Santa Fe

Santa Fe, NM
Today we visited the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. As you may recall Santa Fe was settled on about 1598 to 1600 and the Governor’s Palace was built in 1610 making it the oldest continuously operated State Government house in the nation. Santa Fe also has the distinction of having the oldest continuously operated church in the nation and the highest state capital in the country at 6900 ft in elevation.
This was the northernmost expansion of the Spanish empire in the west outside of California and at the end of El Camino Real or the King’s Road. As such it did not get much support from Spain (one wagon train every three years). So the new settlers had to be pretty much self reliant. They did bring with them many things to the new world. Horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and donkeys in the way of farm animals. Wheat, barley, apple, cherry, and pear trees, and grapes. They had from the Indians corn, squash, potatoes and tomatoes.
Other than 13 years when the Pueblo Indians rebelled and threw them out from about 1782 to 1796 they occupied Santa Fe. In 1821 Mexico declared its independence from Spain and New Mexico was now allowed to trade with the US. The Santa Fe Trail was started from St. Louis, MO to Santa Fe, NM and goods were traded with the American wagon trains bearing needed items such as cotton cloth, and farm goods.
This may have led to the US occupation of New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona in 1849 less than 30 years after independence from Spain.
All this time the Governor’s Mansion in Santa Fe was the capital of the New Mexico Territories. One of the US governors a Lewis Wallace Wrote “Ben Hur” while here in office.
At that time the Governor’s Palace was about 5 times its present size covering some 5 blocks long and 4 blocks with a large central courtyard. This was a building designed for defense and had a military garrison, stables, a hospital and all government offices in it. In front of it was the Central Plaza and on the right the Cathedral. All that happened in Santa Fe happed right here.
After our tour we strolled around the many artists studios here in Santa Fe. I think that every other building in the central core of this city and then some is an artists studio. You can not help but stumble onto bronzes, paintings, jewelry, and anything else an artist could conceivably create. It was a wonderful way to climax our stay here in the capital of New Mexico.
Tomorrow we head south for the Carlsbad Caverns. My understanding is that we are still in time to observe the bats leaving the caves there at sunset each evening. Hopefully this will only be a one day trip and we will be there. However, we do have to pass thru Roswell, NM and so if you see blue lights in the sky and a streak of something strange you will know that we may have been abducted by creatures from another world.

Tucumcari to Santa Fe

Tucumcari to Santa Fe, NM
Well it was another interesting and educational day on the road of life. First we went on I-40 to I-84 which was a two lane road up to Las Vegas, NM (that’s right and believe me it is a lot smaller than Las Vegas, NV). From there we took I-25 which followed the old Santa Fe Trail to Pecos, NM.
Crossing the Pecos River several times I was reminded of those old stories of Judge Roy Bean, the Law West of the Pecos and his unrequited love for Miss Lilly Lamtree the famous singer of her day. Ah well, so much for nostalgia.
At Pecos we stopped at the Pecos National Historic Park which is a compilation of an old Pecos Indian ruins as well as Spanish ruin. This area, the Pecos, was the a transition area between the high plains and the Rio Valley stretching into Texas. Consequently the Indians here developed a rather sophisticated culture with about 1200 living in this one pueblo which was two stories high and had also qivas rooms underground for ceremonial purposes. They traded with the Navahos of the Plains as well as growing corn and squash and also trading with the Indian populations of Mexico.
After the coming of the Conquistadors from Spain there was a large church built on this site and quite a mission with a fortress for the soldiers was here also. Nuevo Mexico as this was known for 200 years had many problems with the Comanche Indian raiding parties and much of the money for this area was spent in defending the ranchos from raiding parties. There was a short period of time about 12 years when the native Indians rebelled against Spanish oppression and drove them out of New Mexico but they later returned with greater forces to put down this rebellion.
Next came the Americans and then the Spanish-American War where a party of soldiers was sent from Kansas to secure New Mexico for the United States. The Mexican governor on hearing how large the army was that was being sent here did not even fight but took his soldiers south to Mexico.
Lastly part of the Civil War was fought in this area with a group of Confederate soldiers being sent form Texas and fighting Union forces from farther north. The Confederates won a two day battle fought at Pecos and Glorieta, NM but lost eventually because Union forces had gone around the battle itself and attacked their supply wagons and they were forced to retreat to Texas and never did return to New Mexico.
:Later in the day we arrived in Santa Fe with its pueblo adobe style charm and all of the artists studios that abound here.
Bev spent two hours in the Museum of one of her favorite artists while I toured the central plaza area of the city. Like all Spanish towns or cities it was built around a plaza in the center of the town with the church on one side and the government buildings on the other sides.
Santa Fe has maintained the look of the Pueblo Adobe style even today with its earth tone buildings and low structured homes that seem to blend into the mountainsides.
Tonight we are in the Santa Fe National Park just above the town and let me tell you this is one steep and winding road. Tomorrow we will tour some more of the museums in town (there are probably 15 of them I think and then we will move on the next day I think to either Bandolier north of here or go to Carlsbad Caverns.

Branson to Oklahoma City

Branson to Oklahoma City
We are now in El Reno which is just west of Oklahoma City, OK. We drove yesterday on the scenic Hwy 60 and Hwy 241 out of MO. These were still in the Ozark Mtns with their rolling hills which were quite closely spaced (short mountains) . These were true mountains with what to me seemed to be a limestone base but I could be mistaken. It did have a white coloration to it though. Next the terrain took on what I will call long low mountains as we came out onto what will eventually be the Plains.
We crossed of all things the Canadian River and Canadian County. Imagine that we travelled all across Canada and had to come here to cross the Canadian River which stretches over quite an area of Oklahoma and Texas. We also crossed the Red River and I was reminded of that old ballad of the Red River Valley. Although that I think was quite a bit north of where we were.
This reminds me of the wheat that was brought from Russia near the turn of the century because European wheat could not withstand the harsh cold climate of the Plains and there was little else to grow in that climate. However a strain of wheat called Russian Red which had a harder kernel, could withstand these temperatures and that is what made farming on the Plains possible.
Today we will be traveling westward again thru Texas that great big state with a lot of great big in it. Hopefully we will reach Amarillo today which in itself will be a long day for us.
Adios for now and “wi’ll kip on a truckin”.

Branson Day 2-3

Branson Day 2 and 3
Well we finished seeing a show in Branson, “Countrytime Tonight” in the Oak Ridge Boys Theater which was a real nice treat. The music was mostly a variety of country and western songs with some comedy thrown in to make it more of a variety show than just going to hear one musician or group. Sorry that we didn’t go back to see the Oak Ridge Boys I had thought that they played at both the 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm shows but they were only at the 8:00 pm show.
After I heard the song “Rocky Top” I was again reminded that musicians write about real things and real places. The first time was with the Beatles song “Strawberry Fields” which until I had visited New York City and Central Park I had always thought was just an imaginary place. But if you go to Central Park in NYC you will find Strawberry Fields is a real place. Just as having visited the Blue Ridge Mtns I now realize that Rocky Top refers to a real mountain in the Blue Ridge Mtns. So you see real life experiences bring on artistic creativity. If you wish to become someone who can create go out and experience life and the world.
After the show which we got the tickets at a reduced price for listening to a timeshare pitch (no we did not buy into it) we went for dinner. Prime ribs and shrimp. It seems that there are more timeshare sales here than you find in a Mexican Resort. No wonder with what they charge for them and in the time we were there they sold three of them. Sorry they are a poor investment for my money.
Then this morning after waking up late again (it is hard to get Bev out of bed) we are doing that boring thing called laundry. Yes folks we dirty out clothes on the road just like we do at home so that age old task of cleaning the sheets, t shirts, towels and other unmentionables is at hand.
This afternoon we will again go to another show and then tomorrow it is time to head out to the vast western regions of the country. Not sure where the next stop will be but probably New Mexico. I hope to get this published later today as I have not downloaded the photos from the camera yet.
As they say “See ya al soon”
Day 3
Today we went to another show and saw the Haygoods. Really a neat family show they are 7 brothers and a single sister who play a variety of instruments (violin or fiddle, sax, guitar, piano, and harp for the sister). They have been here in Branson for about 15 years and their show is a great variety show of a wide range of musical styles. Both popular (the Beach Boys), Irish with clog dancing and great Irish tunes, country music, and some oldies.
Did I mention that my impression of Branson was sort of like this. Branson is to Nashville what Laughlin is to Las Vegas. You can really tell that this is a seniors place to come to. The first show we went to I do not think that anyone was under 60 years of age. Even today the show was mostly seniors although today the house was packed.
After we went to an Outback Steakhouse for dinner although this one was not part of the chain I believe. I had gador tail which was really a lot like chicken. Bev stuck with the ribs but ya al know that when yor in the south ya git to try the real stuff here.
Well tomorrow I will try to post this and then we are of to Santa Fe, NM which will be our first real stop unless somthin moor interestin coms alon.

Branson Day 1

Branson on Day 1
Well we drove from Mountain View this morning to first Springfield Missouri the home of Harry Truman. I had wanted to see his home but unfortunately Springfield is a very large city with it seems an even larger medical community complex. This looked like UCLA when we drove thru and there was no easily recognized visitor info center close at hand. That plus it was freezing cold and the wind was exacerbating me after driving for the last 1 ½ hours with either a head wind of 30-40 mph or a cross wind just as bad. That does tend to grate on your nerves when there are hills and mountains with cross winds in an RV.
So on we went to Branson and stopped at one of the so called “visitor information centers”. Well these are really nothing but someone wants to sell you something. So yesss indeedeee we did buy some tickets to two shows the following two days and did get some information on RV parks in the area. Actually if you discount the hype we did get some tickets for ½ off for some meals which were probably overpriced anyway and we did get info on the shows that are here.
We decided to spend 3 nights here in Branson at the City Lakeside Campground which is within the city and on the river or lake as you might call it. It is a nice water view site right next to the marina and they do have wifi but unfortunately the site I picked next to the water is a long ways from the office and the signal does not reach me. So, off I will go tonight and try at the office or campground recreation room which has been my modus operandi so far on this trip.
Today we also had the RV and the Jeep service again. Yes it was again time for an oil change and lubrication for the vehicles and I was glad that it did not take long to perform and they seemed to do a good job. So that done we should now be good until we get back to CA.
As I said it is cold here so we are glad to have full hookups and we may be running the heater part of the night. Bev does not like to do this but I fear if we do not we may have frozen water pipes.
Well ya al have a good day and if’n the crik don’t rise why weel lsey ya al tamora.
