Tucson Visit, 3rd Week of January 2018

One interesting place to visit.  We went to Tucson AZ and choose the San Xavier del Bac.  It is a 350 year old mission that still runs a school for 150 students from the reservation.

November 26, 2013 - Canton MS Again and Again

Image
On the way to do laundry, I decided to take a picture of the shower house/laundry room.  If you look closely, the laundry pair is in the screened area between the restrooms. Holmes County State Park Mississippi Site #2 for the Travelers Court House Square in Canton MS As we were trying to find a seal for my pressure cooker at the Presto Factory in Canton, we passed this Court House.  This town was getting ready to have a Victorian Christmas Celebration.  There was a merry-go-round for the young and the young-at-heart. Little Red School House (Mississippi) We took the exit to visit this school house.  It is the birth place of the Eastern Star.  It has housed soldiers, It is full of history. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Going to make pumpkin and pecan pies tomorrow.  Finished wrapping gifts today.  Now when we get to Vicksburg, we will find a UPS office and help Santa get a few packages on the way. ...

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner. ...

Day 91; July 27 -- Day of Eating and Bear Watching

Image
We got up and had cereal.  Driver had seen an ad for a local cafe with Liver and Onions and requested that he wanted to eat there before we left.  He chose lunch time. Before we went to lunch, we went back to Hyde to check on the fish and bears.  It rained just about the whole day.  It was raining when we went past the post office in Hyde.    It was raining when we got to the observation station for bears.  My grumpy driver informed me that this would be like watching football in the rain.....he slept in the truck.  I put on my tourist hat and grabbed my umbrella (Susan should have been there too) and headed out to watch.  I found a dry spot under a pine tree and settled down with my Nook.  I finished reading the book "Tisha".  It was enjoyable.  It was about a teacher in Chicken, Alaska.  Patience paid off and a male black bear came walking along the shore.  Pretty soon, I decided my feet were freezing. ...
