Has been a tough day ….learning to
be a a RV host takes some doing...lol many people asking questions
as the come in and out of this RV park. Still I think it is worth
the doing and know it will get easier as time goes on.
Forgive me for these short blogs but I
am exhausted. Just wanted you to know how it is all going. Love You All
Kristina Mikkelson Casanova Dec 19,2017 So many mountain passes to go over entering into Utah..some 8000 to 9000 thousand feet lugging that 32 foot trailer behind us in our old truck of the same age. Sometimes going down to twenty miles an hour. I wondered sometimes if we were going to make it to the top. Then we would have to brake going down the other side and at times the brakes getting red hot and we would have to pull over and let them cool. It seemed to never end. Finally a vast plain of sage brush was before us and mountains were far in the distance. A reprieve from all the mountain passes that also suck up your gas. We decided to camp over night on this BlM land and call it quits for the day even if it was early afternoon. So we found a road and some level land and stopped. It was so nice. Cool with a slight breeze and familiar sounds and the strong odor of big sage that I so loved. In the evening we sat...
Pete and I have for sometime (but not lately) done a lot of Dutch Oven cooking and I figured that it is about time to start it up again. Nothing tastes better than food cooked over hot coals or a campfire cooking in cast iron pots. Right now they are sitting over in Coyote Howls east but will be lugging them over heer soon enough. Food cooks very fast and hot in these pans.once cooking a whole turkey in one less than an hour and the turkey was so well cooked it fell apart being so tender. the best turkey we ever ate. A favorite dessert of mine in the past was to open a can of pie apples or peaches.and pour it in.....then mix a yellow cake mix with butter and throw it over the fruit and let it bake. Cannot give you a times as each cooking is different. Now however I make my own pie apples or peaches and toss in my own mix. Now serve this with a big scoop of icecream and you will think that all of your dreams have come true. I once wanted to make a business of going ...
A very warm day here today...I believe over 80 degrees...whew.......I do wish that it were a little cooler...may have to start using our air conditioner. I really thought that when we moved here that it would be boring but to tell you the truth.. it never is...whether we see animals like coyote and fox...or a caravan of Volkswagen,,or like today....stage coaches going down the highway pulled by the most gorgeous mules. Never boring////that includes all the people pulling in and out of this park with their RVs and trailers. So many people to meet (a lady from Scotland today).... We have discovered an old dirt road that will take you into Ajo which is ten miles away....that is the way I like to explore...the byways and not the highways....can discover some great STUFF and Pete and I have spent whole days just snooping around areas. I love finding old bottles like I did the other day. Have found dishes and pans as well as old metal toys and consider those real f...
Thinking of you.....x
