The forecast rains came and there was quite a bit which was
welcome in this dry desert. Wednesday afternoon
was a lay around inside type day. Jim
and I had taken the RZR and gone caching after breakfast but less than two
hours later we were rushing home trying to beat the rain we saw coming. We got most of the way back before it struck
us.
We took Jim’s Suzuki Thursday morning and did some more
caching. After lunch, we all went in the
car to Quartzsite as J&J had a parcel to pick up and we wanted to peek
around and see if anything interesting was to be found. There wasn’t!
Later in the afternoon, Aileen and I took the RZR out to do some
exploring and checked out the mine Jim and I had seen at a distance. We had to dress warmly as the weather stayed
cool even with the sun shining. We
received a phone call from a lady in Saskatchewan who will now be renting our
park model from January 15 til the end of February. The renters we had lined up had cancelled a
few days ago due to illness. As the lady
from Saskatchewan discovered, it is difficult to find a February rental in
Caliente.
This morning, Jim and I took the RZR and finished the cache
series nearest us. We took the car and
scoped out our next series up the road near Hope, AZ. It is close enough to use the RZR again. We have been for some walks as well as
spending time in the sun reading.
