Back Again - that was quick!

Well I seem to be in a groove writing about my days so I thought I would just keep going... at least one more day. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I went to church this AM and when it came time to introduce visitors, up popped a person who was sitting behind me. He said he was from Grand Rapids and his name was Jim Jakos. Well it just so happens I worked the one and the same Jim Jakos at S/C. He "winters" in Sierre Cascade and was visiting a friend in Sunsites so decided to go to church. Small world! US We had coffee and home-made cinamon rolls as we caught on our activities. It was good to see an old friend.
Next I went to Double Adobe to meet my new friend Tom Hone (from Minnesota). He is a very nice person whom I met at Bob King's place. Tom took his 2 horses down to his campground where we were going to ride some trails today. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. It was/is very windy (the trailer is shaking with the wind blowing at 25 - 35 mph with gusts to 45). The temperature also dropped from 62 to 45 so Tom and I went to Tombstone ("the city to tough to die" according to the side of the Marshall's car) for lunch and to see a person who does leather work. We ate hamburgers at Six Gun City where Arda first took me... the burgers are excellent! As I took Tom back to his place, we ran into some snow and light hail which fortunately did not last too long.
On the way back to my trailer there was some weather moving in so I took the following pictures which I thought were kinda neat.
What is amazing is that nothing came of these storms except wind... no moisture. I guess that is why this is desert - duh! Nerd
Temperature = 45 and very windy!
