Heading East…..soon

I’m now in my last few days here in Hemet and looking forward to getting out on the road again.  Laundry was done this afternoon. It was sprinkling when I went over around noon and I hoped it would stop by the time I was ready to leave but it didn’t.  Didn’t do much damage.

I called a campground called Fountain of Youth in Niland, California (Salton Sea area) - which I’m told – is about 60 miles from everything - including groceries.  By the day it’s $38.00, by the week it’s $230.00 and I decided to pass it all.  Out in the middle of nowhere I wouldn’t pay $38.00 to rent a hotel room so I sure as heck won’t pay that to stay in my own 10 feet of space.

I’m in the computer room now and before leaving I’ll check out all the campgrounds in Quartzsite.  Anxious to go to the Gem and Jewelry Show that starts on January 1st and goes until February 28th. I’m back in a jewelry-making mood since I’ve sold a fair bunch since I’ve been here.  Bought some wonderful new beads at Michaels and looking forward to making up some new earrrings and anklets.

The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm for the next few days so it’ll give me an opportunity to air out my camper.  I also purchased a little traveling companion. His name is BB – I’m not sure if it stands for Brown Bear (or Bare) or Big Bopper but he’s a Gund – oh could be BB Gund – but he’s a cuddly brown bear.  If I call him BB Gund I’ll let him ride shotgun.

Have a great New Year everyone and I’ll write when I get parked someplace in Arizona.   Joei
