Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Camping in the Desert

 

Tuesday morning we called our friends from Alaska who we knew were camping on a claim in the desert.  They were kind enough to meet us at the entrance to the road and off we went for a mile  down a very bumpy road to our spot.  There are 3 motor homes on the site.  It took some ingenuity getting into just the right area with leveling etc. We are in a canyon with hills all around.  Dirt and rocks and miles of roads to ride the quads.  camp we are on the left .

Wednesday we went into Ridgecrest to get a few things.  Gary is trying to set up the Hughes Net Satellite as the Verizon air card is unavailable in this area.  Is pretty complicated so still working on this.  This town is very complete with Wal-Mart, Albertsons and all the other complements.  Took a short ride just before sunset and Gary got some nice shots with his new Cannon.

We have shared wonderful campfires each night with full moon and great stories of gold nuggets.

  1. Beautiful! Gary you are going to love your Cannon! What lens did you end up buying? I'm so glad to hear you are all safe and set up. It sounds perfect. Keep going Barbie it looks great! Do you guys have a web cam on your laptop and a skype account? We could video chat and I could give you some pointers. It would be nice just to chat anyway, (silly verizon wireless card!) Hope you get it all straightened out. Love you!
