First Visitor at Our New Home

We had guests over on Wednesday but they didn't come by choice.  Got the car stuck in loose sand.  Oops.  Thanks for stopping by anyway Andrew, Grace, and Syd!

Had two other guys with trucks from Slab City try it and just couldn't get him out.  The tow truck got them out with no problem.

We made them do some art to repay us for the use of our shade and water.  A good deal all around I think.

Andrew, Grace, and Syd.

I don't think he left the hat on purpose.

Finally Moved

We had our trailer moved to the spot we wanted this past Monday (Jun 25th).  We still have some cleaning up to do around the space but we are getting things set up how we want them a little every day.   We also had 100 gallons of water delivered the same day so we are pretty well set.  We are eating good and have plenty of shade now.  No A/C but the shade is nice.  It has been 110 degrees the last couple of days; just a little warm.

 The new spot.

Hitched up and ready to go.

Here comes the trailer.

Home sweet home.

New steps.

100 gallons of H2O.

Survived first Week (and then some)

We have been at the Slabs for 9 days now.  Since our last post our canopy was knocked over by the wind so we had to move.  We now have a trailer and a spot to put it on with some shade.  Still waiting for the spot to be cleaned up and the trailer to be moved where we want it but we are living in it now.  We just received some loaner solar panels today and hope to have them set up soon.  We have met some interesting people and made some new friends.  Here are some new pics of the place.

Slab city

So we have been in slab city for the last 2 nights. We have been making the rounds and trying to figure out the place. Got a nice spot for our tent but hope to be in a trailer by Tuesday. We have seen salvation mountain, met builder Bob at The Range and heard some great music, and had our first shower at the slabs (that's quite the experience actually). We are really roughing it now because we left the debit card (to the account with most of the cash) in a hotel in Terre Haute, Indiana. Lets hope the US mail pulls through for us by Tuesday.

It's only just begun.

We've been everywhere, man!

Been a while

The last two posts are in the wrong order by the way. We have not had much to post lately. Here's an update. We left Kansas city last Sunday and went to Grove, MO. We had hoped to make it farther but didn't. We stayed a couple nights and rested up. Then we went to a campground in Foss, Ok. It started nice but all night the wind blew hard and it rained. We thought a tornado was coming thru. It was a little unnerving and we didn't get much sleep. We just drove through texas. Then we stayed last night in Santa Rosa, NM. We stopped in Albuquerque to get a couple new tires put on the car. We are finishing up lunch at a place called Duran's Station. Really good food. We are going to pick up the car and head out now and plan to spend the night in Winslow, AZ. Here are some pics we took along the way.
