 We are headed for Swansea Mine.  Eleven quads and RZRs took the trip.  It was not windy enough when we started.  Lots of dust. We are 6&7 from the front. 
 It gets cold here too..........but no snow!!!!
 Taking a break on the Swansea Mine ride.  This is Janis, great lady!!
This is our fearless leader Curtis.

This is a river we went through on the ride.  There are times when the water level is above the seat of a quad and unaccessible.

 Another pic of Curtis.  He is the 'gold' expert I confer with.  He is 75ish and runs with us kids.
 A bird of prey seen while Terry and I were taking a ride the other day.
 We met a couple Canadians on the trail and they took us to this cabin.  The land has been given to the Colorado River Indians so we were on the 'reservation'.  We kept looking for the Indians to be watching us from the hilltop, but none there. I watched too much Lone Ranger as a kid.  A lady lived in this cabin for years.  What a view.  The pic does not capture the view that our eyes saw.
Everyone from Salome came to Quartzsite and we took them on a ride.  Eight quads, 4 RZRs, about 20 people. A 65 mile trip.  Great time, great people.

We had requests for new pics of the house.  Here we go.  This is looking at the front on the right and the basement. The break in the railing on the deck is for the sky walk which will go around to the front door.

 The basement patio uses some of the bricks from the old Goodyear store in Bloomington.  Some of these brocks and bricks have been moved and handled numerous times, I lost track.
 A view of the front minus the front porch, decking and driveway.
 A view of the back from the basement level.  The triple window and 2 single windows are in the master bedroom.
