... d met in Mississippi at our campground in Columbus, stopped by for a visit. They were returning home to Ft Worth after purchasing two Rail Road cars from an estate in Sacramento.
What a unique sight. They're the rail cars that railroad repairmen used to ride on the rails to do any needed repairs. Apparently, there are quite a few clubs of enthusiasts who get together and travel on seldom used tracks, mainly in Idaho, Montana and Oregon. How neat.

We did it!!!!!

We made it to downtown Yuma by 7 a.m. this morning to view the Balloon Ascensions that started at 7:15 a.m. It was something to see. We were able to walk around on the field among the participants. It was chilly there this morning, but warm again this afternoon.

... the day before yesterday that we saw the whole schedule. We hope that we can view them from our campsite that is 7 miles out of town.

The weather here is warm, in the high 70"s today. It is very dry here, that works good on Bonnie's sinus', but, we are getting static shocks all the time.

It was a rather tricky drive getting outside of Prescott, Az. That's a road we'll never take again in our motorhome. The road isn't something I'd recommend even if driving a car. Craig earned his stripes that day. Drove thru Quartzite; it looks the same as usual ...

... up, and he spent some time getting his own blog set up. Unfortunately I came down with something on this day I think. Our room is air conditioned and outside it's a hot world - hot sun, hot breeze that is constantly blowing, and even the water is warm and barely refreshing. In the afternoon we hung out by the little pool by the hotel, and chatted with Greg, an expat from Tucson, when he took breaks. Greg sells health insurance over the phone ...

We left Brad and Jose's this morning at 9:30 with full bellies. Destination Mexico. We reached Nogales at approx 1:00 with the expectation of a long drawn out ordeal. Instead, we were waved through without even having to stop. Suddenly, we were a part of the Mexican hustle and bustle. Zooming and smoking vehicles, horns honking, people moving everywhere, white lines ...

... there...shovelling tacos into his mouth. He took a copy of our cards and bid us farewell. Back in our van, we attempted to join the rest of the cars that were whipping past us towards Tijuana, but were stopped by an armed border officer where the following conversation took place: Officer: Anything to declare? Mike: No (not certain what requires declaring when entering Mexico - no book told us anything about that) Officer: Why you in declaration? Mike: Just left ...

... well that traces of feces have been found in the wells nearest the river. He was too embarrassed to tell us in front of his colleagues the night before. Our last stop was the city of Cananea, the site of a famous open pit copper mine once owned by the infamous Mr. Green. One of the stories telling the origin of the word Gringo, Spanish slang for an American, comes from the people of Cananea telling Seņor Green to go home, hence, Green-go or Gringo. The other ...

... open seats, but they were still letting people on? Fair enough! We boarded and shared the floor of the dining car with all who didn't already have seats. The Chihuahua al Pacifico begins in Los Mochis at nearly sea level, climbs through the mountains and canyons of south western Chihuahua state, reaching an elevation of around 8000', then drops back down to Chihuahua City around 4000'. You start in desert landscape with cacti, sagebrush, and rocky landscapes, reach pine forests and ...
