Since we are back in Virginia, I am filling in with some sights/activities from the last 6 months! We took a hike in Hell Hole Canyon on 1/22/21. The hike is in the Anzo-Borrego Desert State Park just a mile or two from the center of Borrego Springs. The hike will take you to a waterfall in the rainy season, but it was reported that there was no water. We always hike with more than enough water, but as you will see in the pictures, some don’t!!! Not sure if this is real or just a warning!PS...Packing to move is…

Well, even in downtown Richmond wildlife can be found!Over the past 13 years we have marveled over the Eagles that are on the James River. Last summer Dominion Power had a helicopter, dropping workers onto the power tower and they installed the brass (I think brass) spikes to keep the birds off the towers! Well, Dominion is not as smart as the Eagles; they still land in the middle! 🤣Moving/Sale update:Packing has started and the condo looks like a war zone! Movers come on the 3rd! Good thing, buyer has purchased all furniture! All we need to move are…

While in Richmond to complete the sale of the Condo, we bought the new truck so we are all set when the 25’ Airstream arrives! We purchased a Ford F-250 Lariat! We loved the Tundra, hated letting it go, but we have learned a lot about towing, weight capacities, etc. over the last 6 months. Not to bore you with the details, the Tundra was tapped out with our current 20’ Airstream. There is a distinct difference between “payload” and “towing capacity”. The Tundra was fine for towing capacity, but we were right at the upper limits for payload. So,…

In October while in the Lake Powell Area we explored the Paria (pronounced like Maria) River Road looking for the Paria Ghost Town located in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. We never found the “Ghost Town” that was abandoned in 1929. We were so surprised by the colors along this dirt road...they ranged from muted tan to vibrant orange and reds arranged in beautiful layers. The area kept our interest for many hours! https://youtu.be/rTCBm8w7FuA
