Tents and Wind don't mix

Overnight the winds came up with a vengeance.  The poor guy next to us is in a tent and I'm sure he had to hold on with both hands all night.  He said he had no sleep while worrying he would blow away.  As far as I know this guy lives in this tent.  I don't care that the weather is good most of the time, the times when it isn't would make me go looking for something with walls.

I'm not going anywhere

We had planned to start our trek northward today but after looking at the weather forecast we have decided to stay right here until about Sunday.  The first part of our journey north will include some higher elevations and that means possibility of snow and ice and we don't like that stuff anymore.  Flagstaff is not that far north of here and it is snowing there right now.

SmoHoes with friends

Pat and Harold decided to take Julie to the Grand Canyon today and because we had just been there, we decided to head the other direction and check out Prescott Arizona.  We headed up through Jerome to experience highway 89A, which is the scenic route to Prescott.  I took this nice scenic picture looking down from Jerome over the valley below just for Kyra.  Hope you enjoy it.

A Touch of New Technology

Today was a typical Monday and we had no real plan for the day.  There was no sign of any more mouse activity in the Ponderosa, so I packed up all the traps and put them away.   Hope we don't need them for a while again.

When we were shopping yesterday, we decided to pick up a new microwave for the Ponderosa.  The old one was like a boat anchor and weighed a ton.  It was one of those convection/microwave ovens and in the 3 years we have owned the motor home, we have never used the convection part of it.
