Moving On

Today we are moving on west to AZ our final resting place (for this year)!   We stopped for an overnight at Rockhound State Park and that was five nights ago!  We have enjoyed it.  BJ has increased her rock colection significantly and I got in a lot of beautiful hiking in some rugged terrain!

Yesterday I took the Gray Ghost around to the east side of Little FL mountains.  I was about 2 miles from the RV as the crow flies but about 15 road/off-road miles.  We were literally out in the middle of nowhere.  First time I have been somewhere that I had to have 4-wd and several times needed granny level 4-wd to get across some deep gulches and washes in the desert floor.  Several times I just took off across the desert because there was not trail I could find to go where I wanted to go.  Saw several abandoned mines, understand there are plenty of them in the Florida Mountains!

Gray Ghost in the desert!  Note he left Pickle and Banana at home!

An interesting arch on east side of Little FL Mt

An interesting looking abandoned mine.  Was really tempted to explore, but didn't!!









































Another mine entrance, not so inviting!














My trusty steed awaits me in the vast wilderness!

BJ and some valuable (to her) rocks!


Always at home, no matter where we are!!
