Some time with friends

The last photo of the Cactus garden om Pahrump NV. While there we found our friends that we met in Mesa were also here. We had dinner with Bob and Judy Leher and John and Helen Smallman who drove up from Vegas for dinner.

This bridge is over the Sacramento River in Redding CA. We stayed at the Elks where we were joined by Bob and Judy.


This goose was decoyed in by our making a motion like we were throwing something in the water, bread , popcorn. He flew across the river so Mary fed him bread.


She also found this family that liked bread.


And this family.


When two adult gees came in there was a fight with the parents of the young gees.


Looking up river from the bridge.


These folks are setting up for a wedding reception on the foot bridge.


The trail on the South side of the river.

Mary has been looking for a desert turtle all spring but found this water one on morning on our walk.







This is where we were parked when we visited our friends Howard and Edna Lee at their home near Janesville CA.


They have a Hawks nest in one of the trees in the back yard. One evening there were three deer in the yard.



The lee's back yard.


Howard, Mary and Edna


Howard, me and Edna
We are now in Canyon Ville OR. on our way to Sisters OR. to visit my oldest son and his family. Rick has put in a pad with hookups for us.


This is the best preserved bottle house NV. it is located in Rhyolite NV.



You can't go in the house but the windows are clean enough to get pictures.


This is the side showing the different bottles used in the construction. No patterns are found just as they were found. Some of them have Crickets in them.



Some of the art work done at the house by the children of the owner.



This is the railroad station. No rails are left.
