What a fantastic time! Friday, January 20
th we spent the afternoon with the Thomas family (and had Michelle’s tasty jalapeno poppers.) Wednesday afternoon, January 24
th, the McCloskey family arrived and we started our caravan circle. The Travaglino’s pulled in, followed shortly by the Garrison’s and the Engledrum’s. Thursday the Baker’s joined the circle, then Friday the
Montgomery’s arrived. The Mulac’s and friends came out to visit, the Seeley’s and parents joined the group, and the
Gardner’s came for a day. I hope I didn’t miss anyone!

Communication is the key to friendship, and keeping track of kids. We love to watch kids meet and grow together. You know how close we all have gotten when it is time to leave. Reminds me a lot of camp.

I woke up at 6 and couldn't get back to sleep so I got to see this sunrise.
It was amazing .... |
 |
| ....for those who got up early enough to see it! |
 |
| Sunset when the hills start to turn red... |
 |
| ...the clouds catch the glow... |
 |
| ...and the sky ignites. |
There were big campfires at night, lots of stories exchanged and some concerns amongst the first time boondockers about life without water, but everyone survived and even had fun! Several attended the Thomas’ tent revival on Friday night. It was great to watch all the kids play together so well and make many new friends and special memories. Despite all the dry skin and dust-coated … everything…., we loved it all. Hope to meet up with each and every one again. And who’s up for
Alaska this summer?? - Dana
Next stop:
St. David, AZ until February 13, then a week roaming, and then Sedona area.
