"Oldtymer" Bruce has a B'day on Valentine's Day. Great group got together to remember this auspicious day.
|
Howard and Lynn, relatives of the Oldtymers, have become traveling partners |
|
|
Bruce does enjoy his Birthday Cake
|
Geri, the distaff side of Bruce, making sure that all ensemble have too much to eat! |
|

To our surprise, Harvey showed up with his new owners Bill and Sheila Hood from Penticton. (center of shot). Happy Hour with Gary and Janice from North Vancouver
|
It was bitter sweet to see Harvey again. |
|
|
One of Elsie's famous moon shots
|
Another visitor from home, our good friends Ken and Betty from Sechelt BC |
|
|
Stanley trying to get into the sun beams
|
Don't ask me ... Elsie has this thing about trees ... |
|
|
This is the seed pod from that tree. Yeh I know ... HUH? What tree is it?
|
Mark and Pat in a Park near Temecula. Not bad park eh? |
|
|
Elsie's adopted dogs. Mark and Pat's Shea and Bridget
|
Rather regal looking eh? |
|
|
Pioneer Village just north of Desert Hot Springs in the Yucca Valley. This was the set for many TV westerns
|
Really well kept up |
|
|
Can't you just picture the "shoot out"
|
This guy lost the shoot out I guess. |
|
|
The general store was open for business
|
I love this sign! |
|
|
This was a small chicken salad
|
I had the Chile though I guess I didn't know just how to attack it? ... notice the "jug" of Ice Tea. It was really hot and it came in handy |
|
|
Neat place to visit and look around
|
Thurston doing his "Snoopy on top of the Doghouse thing". We don't have the doghouse so the passenger chair has to suffice. He jumps up somehow .... |
|
|
Stan doesn't understand just why Thurston does this ...
|
It's getting hot. Time to head north! 77F inside and 100 F out. Good thing the AC works well! |
|
|
While in Indio, we met up with my relatives from Ontario who were here over Spring Break. Gabe and Lynn Kampf with her sister Susan and husband Ron from Montreal.
|
This time, heading home, we thought we would miss the I5 and go inland. So, we headed to Vegas and then north. |
|
|
Typical desert scene, but sure beats the views of trucks on the I5 |
What every RVer dreads. A flat tire in the middle of no where and it is HOT |
|
|
North of Vegas the clouds start to look ominous
|
We were heading to Jackpot for the night. This is Ash Springs. |
|
|
I'm getting just a little worried. It is not quite lunch time and the weather is looking grim
|
Sure enough, snow! Now, what to do? Should we pull up and wait out the storm or push ahead? |
|
|
In for a penny in for a pound ... we push on
|
Sure enough blue sky and the storm seems to pass us by. |
|
|
Further up the road ... this was not a "comfortable" sight
|
But, the sun is still trying hard for us |
|
|
You can see the depth of snow on the shoulder. Far from Lund north of Powell River BC.
|
A private animal crossing near Jackpot. |
|
|
Snake River near Twin Falls
|
Getting closer to the border and our first sight of the Okanagan River |
|
|
Almost in Oliver on US 97
|
Border Crossing at Oliver. Compared to the I5, this was a beautiful drive!!!! |
|
|
On the Hope Princeton heading home after we wait for a blasting crew to do their job
|
RV gods still like to put it to us. Snow on the Alison Pass. |
