A week has passed since we arrived. A mile in from the highway. Pretty step in some areas thus the heading Hill. A nice flat area ie parking area for our motor homes. We have 4 tucked into the spot right now, but come Thanksgiving it will be full to overflowing I understand.
More wildlife here, coyote right in the parking lot, chuckers (huge quail) and hummingbirds. Three feeders out now and so far 3 hummingbirds. These little guys have no fear. Gary had a red hat on the dash of the motor home and in came one. Probably in for 15 seconds, took a look around and then out. Was certainly a first for us.
Have not as good luck as far as gold here as we in did on the first claim. This is a very active claim so has really been work over. Did some shoveling this week. Too many rocks – I just want DIRT. The dust is pretty awesome.
As you can see the landscape is quite barren, but when you are out in it and riding, it has a certain beauty. The view is fabulous when you get on top. There are very few cactus -won’t see those until we get to Arizona.
We went for water yesterday. Pretty good 3 weeks on 80 gallons. We have a water bladder that holds 45 gallons. Looks like a big air mattress. Use a water pump to transfer into the tank of the motor home. Was our first venture with it and it went very well.
Into town today to do laundry and pick up few things. We don’t have the capacity in our little fridge as we do at home, so more trips to the store. The Laundromat has free wi fi and you use a card instead of quarters, which I like. Really isn’t so bad as I read while the clothes are doing their thing. Very windy and cool today.
