Past Three Days

Kilbourne Hole - created by a maar (a
type of volcano action)

 The past three days have passed so quickly that I haven't even had a chance to put down a few words.  Actually, maybe a bit of laziness played a part in this.

On Sunday, we did absolutely nothing.  In fact, we didn't even try and get a signal on the TV.  But a couple of things were accomplished: 1) we found the TV remote, and 2) we found a thermometer that Taryn said she lost a year and a half ago, and we said that it wasn't in the motorhome.

Yesterday we went out into some back country and up into some mountains.  The scenery was very pretty.  We had a couple of rainstorms and it was amazing how green the desert became after the rain.  There was a thunder shower in the morning and and thunder and hail storm in the afternoon with a lovely rainbow.  Whenever we had to do something, the rain stopped, and the sun shone - during lunch, pit stops, and so on.

Today we had a late start so it was a nice leisurely morning.  We took a drive out to Kilbourne Hole  which is known as a Maar — a pit or depression caused by a volcanic explosion with little material emitted except volcanic gas.  We got to drive right down to the bottom which was really neat.  Tonight we had a catered Mexican supper.  The food was very good although some of it was a bit on the hot side.

It was another great day and tomorrow we're off for another adventure.
