After another lazy morning, we went geo-caching around here and up Hwy 95 on the California side. We found over 25 of them. Today is much cooler, 24*C with a breeze! As much as we love the sin, it would be nice to have at least one day of rain but we’re not complaining!!!
On the way back, we stopped at a pub we had frequented a couple years back and had a beer there but I have to say that the smoking is a bit much.
We came home and got dinner ready then read and relaxed for the rest of the evening
A sunny day but very windy with gust 25 to 35 MPH! The sky in the west is brown from all the sand in the air. Val went for her exercises then did the laundry. We took a drive into Blythe to mail a couple letters, did some shopping then came home.
The wind finally died done around 5 and we enjoyed a nice evening
Tucker was sick overnight; he had me up 4 times to go to the bathroom, not sure what is going on. We had a late and lazy morning; I forwarded my tax to the government and paid my dues. I also finished another book call “KISSING THE VIRGIN”. An interesting read about a Mexican girl growing up in Mazatlan and Rincon. Now I am reading a book by Lee Child called “Worth dying for” on my e-reader “kobo”.
In the afternoon, we went geo-caching into the desert and the town of Blythe. Our first move was the desert where we found a few rigs boon-docking. As we drove by, one of guy was outside his rig and totally naked except for a red satin scarf around his waist and we were only half a mile from town...only in Arizona!!! We couldn’t find a route to the cache so we went back around and into Blythe for the next three which we found with no problems. While in town, we stopped at K-Mart to get some cookies for Tucker then drove back to the Arizona side. I continued on I-10 for about 4 miles and took the exit to a truck stop where we found the road to the cache on this side. We found it, signed the log and came back to Ehrenberg where we stopped at the pub for a beer and got to have an interesting conversation with the owner. We came home, had dinner and sat outside for a while. Interesting day!
After Val’s exercises, we took a drive to Quartzsite, a 20 minutes drive from here to look for an arm for the satellite and a part for the BBQ. We were unsuccessful on both counts! The place is becoming more and more like a ghost town as the vendors close their shops for the season. I fueled at $4.15/gal then we had a beer at a local bar then came home. It is another hot day (over 30*C) and the A/C is on full blast; there are clouds overhead and no wind. I BBQ’ed pork chop for dinner with a salad and a couple of buns. I am on a diet, trying to lose weight, even cut back on beer!
Why, oh why did I book this place for so long??? There is not much to do or visit around here! We spent the day around the Park, nurturing Tucker back to a more healthy condition and read. I finished another book; Lee Child “Cross Road”. It was windy but hot again and the clouds around cleared by the end of the afternoon. We haven’t had internet all day, typical Tengo! Tucker threw up overnight and had us getting up twice to take him out. He was fine all day and when I took him for his walk at 4 pm, he didn’t do anything but didn’t seem the worst for it. Val has him on a rice and chicken diet to settle his tummy and we found a tick on the carpet so that may have been the problem. We’re going to give him a bath and give him an early treatment for ticks and worms.

Sorry to hear your wee Tucker is not feeling great. We stayed in the Blythe area last year, and didn't really like it that much. Presently in Bullhead City, @ the Davis County Park, looking at the casino's across the river. Nice place. Supposed to be windy this week so we may hang out till the howling is done! Safe travels.
