Monday 23rd December 2013….Day 8!!

Another good sleep and sunny skies but a tad chilly!!!

Made my plans for today and it involved a road trip and Frances added a couple of places for me to see and I was on the road by 9.30am with MY NEW SIRIUS RADIO!!!!  I bought  one for the car I just loved it when I had it in Ramona and activated it before I left this morning!!

It was about 50 miles to my first destination!!

This was awesome but Little Bluey needed a good bath afterwards.

If you remember when we went to San Antonio my first introduction to Sonic was so memorable had to take this photo

In the 7 years of this blog I try to stay away from politics, religion and my personal life but this story needs telling and if there are any nasty snide comments afterwards a ban of the blog is coming your way…you have been warned Croft!!!

I needed gas and was really out in the canyons but I did find this small gas station and I stopped …still getting used to going inside and paying before you pump the gas.  So I went inside paid for ten dollars of gas because it was expensive and came out got in the car and drove away……about 400 yards down the road I realized I had not gassed up so turned around and meekly drove back to Number 2 pump……..say no more!!!!

The next stop

The final stop was here and I went into the office to pay my 5 dollars entrance fee and gave the Ranger a ten dollar bill he said he was sorry he had no change and I said I was sorry but I had no change either so he said well Merry Christmas here is your first present!!!!!  God bless America!!!!!
