About Me

Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

November 21 to 23, 2013; San Felipe

NOV  21, Thursday; Geo-Caching
It was cloudy all day and a bit cooler but still comfortable.  I decided to cook bacon and eggs this morning and afterwards, we went geo-caching and found 8 more in the area.  This time we went north of San Felipe and into the desert, four wheeling.  We stopped at a Bar/Restaurant for lunch which turned out to be very reasonable then continued finding more caches.  We were back by 3 pm, just in time to catch the Propane truck and get filled up for 581 pesos ( about $55 Cdn), we were down to 40% of a tank on the motorhome.  Charlotte was sick overnight so didn’t attend HH which didn’t last very long anyway.  It is much cooler and very humid.  We had steaks for dinner with a salad then watched the tube for a while.

 
NOV  22, Friday, Snowbird Appreciation Day!
IT RAINED HEAVY OVERNIGHT!  Quite a bit too as there is lots of puddles around as evidence.  The sky is trying hard to clear this morning but it did remain overcast all day and we even had more rain in the afternoon!  Val went for a walk with her usual partners and I caught up to the blog and registered all our finds @ GeoCache.com.  Around 11 am, we, along with Ken and Elaine (from Alberta), went to the Malecon where they had free food, free beer and free entertainment.  It was fun, we enjoyed the shows especially those put on by the young kids.  We came home around 3:30 pm just in time to miss another downpour.  No HH this day!
Today is the 50th anniversary of JF KENNEDY assassination!

 
NOV  23, Saturday; Market & laundry
Still lots of dark clouds this morning with some blue patches showing through!  In the news last evening, we saw that this system goes from the Pacific all along the West Coast, through the Baja, northern Mexico and up on through Yuma and Parker so everyone is sharing this storm.
We went to the outdoor market but we got there too late; everything was either shut down or in the process to.  So we went across the highway and wanted to do our laundry but all the machines were being used and there was a line up.  We decided to go for brunch at the Bar/Restaurant and checked again afterwards and found 3 machines not in use so we started our laundry.  We checked out a little grocery store nearby and found all kinds of American items so bought a few needed things.  We came home, took a picture of our local guy that sells corn on the street corner, put everything away and relaxed until HH and dinner time.  It’s been quite cold all day; the best we did is 62*F (15*C).  For the first time in a long time, we had the furnace on to warm up inside.  INCREDIBLE!!!  To think that a few days ago we were sweating!
We went out for dinner at a Chinese restaurant on the main street with Ken and Elaine.  They had been there before and recommended it so we planned it for tonight.  The food was very good but they were HUGE portions.  We ended up bringing home 6 boxes of left over; a bit of a waste when you think about it.  Anyway, next time we will know better!  Three more rigs came in today.
