There were lots of quail in the Desert Hot Springs area.
This coyote was very comfortable roaming our Rancho Jurupa campground.

The rest of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
What a view-can you imagine this back in the covered wagon days? What a walk or wagon ride and how long would it have taken?
The ride through the mountains was wonderful.
And of course the walk they would have taken this time of year could have been as hot as we found it. Thank goodness for A/C.
What do you call a street when you can't think of a name?
Quartzsite has many interesting pieces of art ? statues? not sure what to call them.
a very large rod and reel.
The "Original Gold Guys"
A camel made from painted wheel rims.
The whale in the desert -is it to make you feel cooler?
The city sign is very nice made from marble.
Early Halloween decorations on this house.
The oldest house in Quartzsite AZ.
Tyson Wells named for the man that built in and around which the town of Quartzsite grew up'.
This is one of the Quartzite police cars -- you have to ask Why?
There are many rock formations as you travel old route 60.
one of the many decorated overpasses in New Mexico and Arizona
The mountains are beautiful in the distance.
An overview of a copper and gold mine.
A balanced rock at a roadside stop.
Nice day for a drive and clouds for Jackie.
Signs you do not want to see in the desert.

Las Cruces N M water tower.
An old west town that has since been abandoned.
A view of the mountains from our coach at Vado N M, near Las Cruces.
Across the valley of New Mexico.
Even the bridge abutments are painted.
These statues are outside of our campground at Fort Stockton TX.
A few thorn bushes like this and no one will come in your yard. Double click and look at the thorns.
One of the roadside rests with a beautiful setting in the background.
This old wagon was used in a couple of John Wayne movies as noted on the wagon.
While it looks like a field of rocks in the desert, it is really melons.
Across the desert- there is not much.
The oldest house in Old Fort Stockton.
The old Fort Stockton Jail.
This is a serious mailbox.
