Once again the washes ran full of water and in some cases flooded many roads and fields. We didn’t have much of a problem here, but the back entrance to Queen Valley was closed for a while because the creek flooded the back road.
The pictures below are of the creek/wash two days after the storm. The water is way down from where it was Sunday night and Monday!
The water flows very swiftly here and after we took the picture, we were able to drive through it. However, on Monday, this was a raging river and totally impassable.
Ken is back making more and more pretty stone pendants in the rock shop, and we wanted to make them showier, so I signed up for a “wire wrapping” class (LOL). I’m not artistic, but hope to bend gold and silver wire around the stones to better show them off. We will see….it should be very interesting!
Here it is almost February and we haven’t done much but watch the weather. Yeah, there were several days of sun, but the winds prevented us to really sit outside and enjoy it. February should be much different. We have a lot of things planned! The park has scheduled more entertainment along with some tag-a-longs and various other social activities. On Friday, Feb 8, we are tagging along on a day trip to eastern Arizona (Morenci) to tour the workings of a huge Copper mine, and of course, we will incorporate a little geocaching during that trip.
There are several geocaching events coming up where we plan on showcasing our personal “Snobird & Mountain Goat” geocoin.
We made these coins last last year and have sold and traded many of them. The face of the coin is a “toon” of us caching, and the back is a 3D picture of our Grand Cherokee. We have had a lot of fun trading our coins for other geocacher’s personal geocoins. So far, Ken has quite a collection.
Hope to have more to talk about after the first of February.
