Wow! Saw those and thought, “yeah those are tiny.... then I realized your coin of scale was a dime. Dang!!!! I did the same thing when I found a hermit crab in one at Benga Lagoon. Even used a dime as well. Now I need to find it to post.[emoji1] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5ff3b49e9.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

LA to Oatman to Sedona To Red Rocks To Taos to Santa Fe to LA - or Bust!
First things first - I donned my lucky Robert Earl Keen "The Road Goes On Forever" shirt, and we left LA for old mining town of Oatman, AZ.

Rather long in the teeth, and she's sure seen better days, but still a nice place to hang your hat, cool off and get a cold one. Her claim to fame today is that Clark Gable used to play cards here, and when he married Carol Lombard they spent their honeymoon night here (in order to avoid the paparazzi of the day). http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1563920542.JPG One more burro to see as we headed out of Dodge (er Oatman).

Southbound out of Flagstaff heading down into Oak Creek Canyon on our way to Sedona:

There are a few on the creek, fish parts all over my yard. Interesting when the mower finds them. |

random pics that YOU have taken.......
Its official,
Had to order a sign to put at the top of our driveway. Tired of Uber and Lyft drivers driving down the driveway. As well as transient drivers trying to circumvent the backed up weekend traffic. I seriously want to ask “Do you see a double yellow line?????? Like the one on the road you turned off of?” After the deer in the headlight look and the excuse of “Google told me to turn here” I gave up. Thanks GOOGLE MAPS...........[emoji35] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...018ba6bde7.jpg I don’t think it’s that hard to differentiate a main road from a driveway, but alas I am mistaken. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ba9c51b9b1.jpg I did think about ordering a sign that said “You Damn Kids stay off the grass” but figured it would be too cliché.

Hahahahahah
Pacific Gas & Extortion (PG&E) pays a contractor to go around locally and police the area surrounding the power poles. I pretty much do that on our pole between the house and the road. Round-up takes care of everything and helps reduce the fire danger too. The contractor shows up, gets out, fires up the weed eater and chews up dry dirt to two minutes then used the leaf blower to move the dust cloud. There was nothing to knock down but he did it anyway. I guess they have to justify the contract. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7abeb2e0bd.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c4ddf67f8.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
