Time to practice my aim.

I hit the target almost every time.  Interesting, while I aim, because of my glasses I had to choose clear gun site or clear target, I chose site and still hit my marks.  The center is the "head" and the lower left is the "heart".  I shot at least 150 rounds.  I used a 38 Detective Special and my 22 long Beretta.  Not bad if I may say so myself, eh?

Black Canyon, AZ

Our two day kayak trip down the river.  We hiked to the hot springs and roughed it on the beaches between our paddle times.


 We had a large group on this trip.


Wow, look at all the skin!

My Trip from my friend in ID to Alturas CA.

What a beautiful drive this was.  It was sunny in Coeu d' Alene and when I entered the mountains this is what I was in.  The last photo is the high desert of Alturas CA.

More of Alaska

Here are some of the ships stats. Well, I had a request for a few more photos from my cruise to Alaska, so here ya go! I celebrated my birthday while on board along with my best friend Sandy who is one month behind mine, cute little cake that was worth every calorie. I added a couple of the scenery. I also put in a few of the beautiful sculpted bread art pieces. Visited the Red Onion Saloon which in its time was a brothel in Skagway. Had a great breakfast & champagne.

Alaska Cruise aboard the Golden Princess May 2009

May 23, 2009 a group of old girl scout friends from back in 1960, and my now 85 year old girl scout leader who we call "Skipper", spent 7 days having a ball in Alaska. Beautiful ship, great meals and enjoying a beautiful part of our country.
Can you believe all the luggage for over 2000 people!? Boarding and disembarking were very well organized, except of course for the people who do not think they need to follow instructions or rules. This a view of Seattle Washington as we were leaving port on a beautiful clear day. This ship is another cruise ship still in dock. It was very difficult to get a photo of the Golden princess that we were on because it is so large I couldn't get far enough away from it. Great shot of an Orca whale in the Pacific Ocean in Alaska. We saw both Humpback and Orca this cruise which we were told is very unusual to see both this time of year.

Slab City

What is RV travel without going to Slab City, the old abandoned Army base in Niland CA.
Wow, what an imagination.

Everyone who goes to the Slab's is welcomed by this guard post.

You can see what is going on from this "city" bulletin board.

Darn, the "Mud Pots" were dry as a bone.

"Container Charlie" was quite the interesting guy.  He is a college graduate who has chosen to live free in Slab City.

"Container Charlie" is giving us WIN's a tour of his area.

Want to read a book?  No problem, there is a library in the city not to mention a church and weekly entertainment.

Tom at work, he is the amazing artist who painted both tanks and his own RV.

You have not seen Niland area until you visit Salvation Mountain, amazing place!

This is Leonard, the creator of his mountain.  He has been here over 20 years.  He is a very spiritual man, bless him.

I'm sitting in one of the rooms of Leonard's creation.
