Winter Assignment Winding Down

Our winter workamper assignment at Glamis North KOA is winding down. As this goes to post we have 36 days until we move on to a summer of travel. Our first destination after leaving Niland, CA is the Grand Canyon for a five day tour with the Escapees RV Club. We'll let you know either where we've been or where we are going as the summer progresses. In any event, we plan to be back at Glamis North by mid-October this year for another winter of fun in the sun. The weather here is the best we have ever found -- anywhere. Eating red tomatoes in February; harvesting summer squash in April; wearing shorts and t-shirts in every month. Almost never rains. What's not to like?
This post will clean up a number of photos I've just been harboring on my desktop. Time to post them and clean up the desktop.

Daughter Angel with Erika and Sabrina after a visit to the swimming pool in March.

Riding one of the rental bikes around the park.

Wellhead for an artesian well - in the remote desert. Water spraying out under natural pressure is hot.

Typical of the many abandoned dwellings in the surrounding desert.

Maybe ran out of gas, water, or air in the desert and simply remains there. Takes a long time to rust.

Hooded Oriole that's been hanging out at our lemon tree and sugar feeder in our yard.

Some of the ladies in the park made a quilt for Roslyn, one of the park owners.

The quilt makers presenting the quilt to Roz at the KOA store and Sassy's Outback Cafe.

Yes, Angel is eating a 'smore.

Taco Tuesday at the Bombay Beach American Legion. Couple in blue in foreground are Marianne and Tom Nance, Master Gardener friends from Newport WA who were here for a week visiting the area. Other folks at the table are some of our neighbors at Glamis North KOA.

So, that's the clean-up for now. Stay tuned for more of what/where/who as it happens.
