Went to Aunt Ilah's 80th Birthday celebration today. Saw lots of cousins and their kids and grandkids. Had a good time there visiting with everybody. There were over 30 family and friends. Some of the first cousins, I haven't seen in 38 yrs. and there families, some I have never met. Kind of nice. Made me miss my family back home in Michigan even more.
We left there just before dark and drove thru the Mohave Desert mostly in the dark. I figured we would see very few cars but I couldn't believe it; it was almost like a busy hwy. back home. You could see headlights coming from probably 15 miles away. At least, if we had any trouble with the truck, there were other people on the road. There was a sign just past 29 Palms that said there was no service stations for the next 100 miles. That was true, but there weren't any homes or anything else much out in the middle of the desert either. One spot there were lights at an iron mine about half way through the 100 miles. We had about 60 more desert miles past the one service station , at a 4 way stop, until we finally reached Needles, CA. From there, we had about 20 miles to drive to the campground in Bullhead City, AZ.
Made it back safely and now we are tired and going to BED.
So, Goodnight.
