Fire Recovery Project

This past week I accompanied six others from Community United Methodist Church on a Volunteers in Mission project at Omak, WA. The area was hard hit by wild fires in 2014 and the recovery project is still going on.

On the first day we built a four strand barbed
wire steel post fence. The old one was made
of wood timbers that were probably due for
replacement when the fire hit.

 

On the second day we sanded two decks on this house. The
previous house was totally destroyed by the fire. This property
owner also lost a lot of equipment in the fire.

On day three and four we put a new deck
on this cabin.

       

I left the project at the end of day four to attend the pinning
ceremony for Master Chief Jason Rubentsein.

Winter Migration

We migrated to warmer and dryer climes in late January and early February. We are Rainbirds, not Snowbirds!

I love this California Girl

Arizona Room in California. I like the outdoor television.

There are two televisions inside as well.

Bumped into Terry O'Brian at Hidden Sands RV Resort in 

Desert Hot Springs, CA., fellow pickelball player from

in Desert Hot Springs, until I showed up.

Motorhome Road Trip

Bought this motorhome from nice people in Scottsdale, AZ and drive it home.
It was a great day in Arizona where this picture was taken.

Wasn't there a song about Wickenburg, AZ?

Chloride, NV was a former mining town that had 2000 residents.
Now pretty much a ghost town.

One of the main differences between Idaho and Nevada is water.
Nevada doesn't have any.
