We've been camped at Bear Flats this week. Cell signal can be sketchy here so I have been using the Wilson booster just to check in. The weather has been overcast so my little solar panel has not been very useful. I'm going to see if it will push power into the small trial house battery thing that Kirk (roosterpheasant.blogspot.com) asked me to test. There will be things that I will suggest that he tweek with the system.  Like making it lighter weight and with lighted on/off switches. We had a medium sized animal in camp  around 5 am Friday morning.  He messed around the fire pit some. Not sure what it was because I didn't get a good look. It was dark and had a fat butt...maybe a bear cub?! We have had a lot of visits from rangers because of Memorial Day weekend. Some pretty kewl guys who are trying to educate the public about safety. Tuesday they came around to check on fire pits. .. I had already been trying to put out two fires that other campers left flaming on Mon...

Hippie Hole Beach awoke to clouds and cold. Most of the day was windy and chilly although the sun did make an appearance.  Thank goodness for hot coffee. Simply another day, Simply, Lesa

RTR wrapped up and some friends and I exited the now crazy busy Quartzsite area.  Battling challenging MLK holiday traffic, we crossed over into California at Blythe. A little shopping, laundry mat visit and resupply of water and essentials in small town Blythe, then we headed down highway 78 along the Colorado River. Our destination a tiny cove on the Arizona side of the river.  We have been thouroghly enjoying Hippie Hole Beach.  Yes, our group has been joking a lot about that name as we bring out guitars and tell stories by the campfire. ....till next post Simply, Lesa

Hello again,   2013 was a very full year with miles of travel and many events.  I was considering ending my blogging because I couldn't see any real purpose or good that my writing was serving.  Over the past few weeks, perhaps given the change to a new year. I have recieved many short emails and phone calls asking where and how I am.  I am GREAT!  better than ever.  I woke up giddy with happiness the other night - I'm holding on to that experience.   I have been attending the winter Rubber Tramp Rondevous (RTR) in Quartzsite, Arizona.  The scheduled events are nearly over now.  We discussed things like how to convert a vehicle in order to 'Full- Time RV' or live in said vehicle, shared ideas for cooking, keeping warm, showering, receiving mail, how to be respectful when choosing a boondocking site, disposing of trash among other things.  We shared social moments that included campfire chit chat each night, Hobo Chili dinners and Bak...
