Turkey Day........!!



but, no turkey for us today. We brought steaks to the dunes; however, we ate them on Monday. PB&J sounds pretty good for today!

Weather turned crummy yesterday, rain and wind, and we had occasional showers during the day so we piled into John's truck and headed for Yuma. Cassidy had to add another state to her travels and John needed a new air mattress. His started leaking so he was basically sleeping on the lumpy ground. We ended up visiting the Yuma Territorial Prison and I think they all enjoyed that. Becky bought us lunch at Lutes (Where the Elite Meet), did our required shopping and headed back to the sand. Weather had cleared up so Becky stayed at the camp and Doug, Cass, John and I went out into the dunes. We watched the races up Olds Hill for awhile, starting to get dark so John and I made a couple of side trips to pick up two more caches on the way home. Got pictures of Doug and Cass going up Olds Hill, picture of John and I coming back down and a couple of pics of the caches we found. It looks like someone got a truck buried out in the dunes years ago and just left it to the elements. You gotta be careful out there, we even ran into areas that had us wondering if we could get back out. Being a passenger is sure a lot different than driving in the dunes!! Almost had to go back and change my skivvvies after enduring John's driving.

Got COLD last night.......we're still on Arizona time so we got up at 0730, which is 0630 for the other guys. John was up sitting at his little table eating cereal, Doug and Cass still in their tent and we're all nice & warm with the generator and heater going. Surprised the John hasn't come in yet! Sun is out so maybe the rain in gone. Don't know what we'll be doing today.

Will look for some pics of the prison run when we get them developed. Later. W&B
