Some Really Great Travel Days!

We left Earp, California on Monday and had a great travel day to Quartzsite.  We had hoped to do SOME shopping but we had never been to the area in December so we did not know what to expect, but we did think there would be a bit more activity then what we seen.  A few of the stores we needed to pick up items were open but a lot more were not even set up yet.  We did get our vitamins at the Pink Store and while we were there we rubbed the Giant Orb and lo and behold the good luck is coming on strong.

Another perfect drive through Yuma into Winterhaven, California to overnight in the parking lot at Quechan Casino but instead we hit a few big jackpots and ended up getting a room for the night.  We took long, hot showers and just hung out enjoying ourselves.  It was perfect to leave with a lot more money than we came with and that is including a wee bit of gambling, a few meals, and the cost of the room…love that orb!

We Arrived in Ocotillo Wells or Borrego Springs, California whichever city you choose to say, with yet another great travel day even though we did drive into a few areas of very thick fog.  

We are now in the middle of nowhere, open scenery that goes forever with perfect views of the mountains, not cold, just cool winter temperatures.  It will be nice for a few months, but we will be long gone before the heat hits this area for sure.  Highs close to 120 degrees do not appeal to neither of us, we live a life that guarantees we will not make it to hell when we die, so we agree not to be there in our lives on earth.

We have met the owners and some of our co-workers and feel it will be a nice fit for a short time.  And, we really look forward to be able to check out the area on our time off and some other places within a few hours drive that we have been wanting to visit.
