Not yet....

 

Western deserts, here we come!!

 

So here is the 1st post for my new blog...Herbmama's Travels. Boy blogspot ain't as easy as it used to be to get anything done...whew!! So we shall see. Anywho...less than 6 wks. to go until we head out for parts unknown. Well you done met hubby, the ol' bearded fart....wouldn't know what to do with my life without him & besides, he's driving the truck/trailer...LOL!!!

 

Of course we can't go without Charlie dog, as it would break his heart, besides he is a real character, lemme tell ya! He is our rescue dog we adopted after our beloved Toby had to be put down. That day still tears at my heart. One had to be very patient where Charlie is concerned, but he has finally learned that we love him & he is safe, warm & always has food with us!!! He is getting to be an ol' man too...I know many have seen pics of him, but here is yet another one....he has the most gorgeous eyes, eh??!!!!

 

Now this new camper of ours has to be one of the fanciest things I have seen in a long time. We are so used to our 'fallin' apart 5th wheel, that walking into this for the first time just made my heart go pitty pat!!! Seems weird not to have to go up steps to go to bed, but it sure is alot easier on my ol' hips. It is about 7' longer than our old one and so much more room in it, I am having trouble figuring out where to put stuff LOL!! It isn't brand new, but the previous owner barely used it & it is new to us after all & it is a 2012! Here's a pic of it while still on the lot before we picked it up. I will show more inside pics later on.

 

 

 

So on Monday, April 20 we will be heading out to Stanton, AZ!!! We are giving ourselves a week to get there as you have to be there a day early for this community dig we are participating in. However many people do the work is how all the gold, etc. is split up and so far there are 85 people signed up. So all the gold will be split up 85 ways, but with that many people doing all that work, there should be a nice amount to split!!!! There are potlucks, campfires with stories, music around the campfire, etc. it all sounds like soooo much fun!!! I can hardly contain myself and wait until the day we leave.

 

The wanderlust bug has bitten us....
