This is the Roller Coaster road to Desert Hot Springs. This way you keep off the I 10 which is a very busy road. It is a nice drive if you can keep your stomach in one place as you go up and down ... up and down ... up and down ..urp |
This is Art and Sandy's pocket pit bull watch dog, Caesar. Only 4 months old ... "have tongue will lick" |
 |
 |
Sandy doesn't baby Caesar at all ... right???? |
Wally and Erma ... happy hours are sure enjoyable |
 |
 |
Can you tell that Elsie is having fun??? |
Another world problem put to rest at the Happy Hour Conference |
 |
 |
| Art and Sandy are now in Kelowna .... we must drop by this Spring | This is a so-called "King Boston Terrier" called Ike. He is huge!!! He tips the scales at over 50 lbs none of which is fat! |
 |
 |
Ike is actually not pure Boston. The breeder mated a Boston with an English Bull dog. You can see the Bull Dog in him in this picture. He has the personality of the Boston and the size of the Bull Dog. Great Combination!!! |
Area around Desert Hot Pools. Note the snow on the mountains... |
 |
 |
We are using ... and trusting ... our Garmin more and more. It goes with us in the toad as well as when we drive Harvey. |
On a day trip to this National Park. |
 |
 |
Elsie likes these shots ... I don't understand it but ... |
Flowers in the desert |
 |
 |
More flowers in the desert |
Still more flowers in the desert |
 |
 |
Yet still more flowers ... get the idea ??? there are flowers in the desert!!! |
The next two pictures are Chollas |
 |
 |
Yah ... I don't understand it either |
with people this time |
 |
 |
Rocks in the desert .... hmmmm |
Outcropping caused by weathering ... Elsie liked these rocks I guess |
 |
 |
still more rocks |
Yah ... believe it or not, this is a flowering Joshua Tree |
 |
 |
This was taken in Desert Hot Pools park just up from where we were parked. I thought this was neat so I took a lot of pictures. I see only one made it here .... sigh |
Double rainbow. Elsie was gone for hours looking for the pot of gold. Have to report that we are still poor. |
 |
 |
Spring flowers on the I5 in California |
Got to keep Elsie busy on those long drives .... |
 |
 |
Heading into the Siskiyous Pass. This is the spot that often is closed due to high snow levels |
Lots of Snowbirds heading home ... |
 |
 |
But the day was beautiful and the sun was trying to shine |
At the very summit is was quite foggy but still dry and bare roads |
 |
 |
Oregon Coast at Cannon Beach. This has to be one of our very favourite spots in the world |
We were there 5 days and one of them was actually not raining ... |
 |
 |
Our watch dogs making sure that we set up Harvey correctly |
This was the spot that had safe power .... |
 |
 |
No way that the satellite would work with those trees all around |
Snow at Dog Patch ... sort of a welcome home gift from the RV Gods |
 |
 |
Thurston likes heat. It was hovering around freezing level so he moved his bed to be in front of the furnace outlet. How he takes the high heat, I don't know |
Stanley just curls up in a blanket and we cover him up. He is happy |
 |
 |
Here Thurston sleeping with the toy so Stanley doesn't get it |
Do they look laid back or what??? |
 |
 |
It is a tough life at DogPatch. |
The snow storm in Bellingham as we make our way to the border before our health insurance runs out |
