Purple Flowers 2-18

Yes, this looks familiar, but I changed some settings and re-posted this and it looks the way I wanted it. So I am done tinkering for today!

Today's low was 45 and the high was 68. I did one lap with Larry and he did his usual. We hooked up with the Canadians for a short bit and then it was back home for toast.


Today seemed like a nice day for a little road trip. Lots of sunshine but that blasted breeze was cool. We drove out through Dome Valley over to Wellton and after cruising around Wellton it was back to the Foothills.

All out through Dome Valley was agricultural, there were some citrus trees, but mostly lettuces and lots of stuff we couldn't see well enough to identify. It is amazing to see all this flourishing in the desert. Amazing what water will do and there are irrigation canals criss-crossing all over the place.



Almost to Wellton and we hit some desert where there were a lot of the purple flowers that I have mentioned before, so we stopped so I could get some pictures. I think I had the camera on the wrong setting so they aren't as good as they should be.



After we got back to the Foothills we stopped at the farmers market at the Catholic church...we wandered around in there and didn't find anything we needed so it was on down the road. We stopped and got something to eat and then back to home.


In this lot adjacent to our RV park we saw this poor Motorcoach stuck in a mudhole, soft sand or quicksand, we couldn't tell, but they were in a world of hurt. The back end was in so deep the back bumper was on the ground. The driver wasn't having any luck.


After we got back we took a walk to settle our dinner and the big guy was still stuck but it appeared that he had some help. Unless they had some plywood and shovels they weren't getting him out of there...


So that was our day. It is supposed to start warming up by the end of the week...bring it on, we say!
