Forest Road # 35-May 29, 2013

Well we arrived and found a spot that is actually pretty level, so we put the slides out and have a big house for the next few days.

 

 We plan to drive into Ash Fork to check out their museum and do some exploration of the area in the jeep.

Their main display was this miniature train and a model of the Escalante Hotel. The hotel was built in Ash Fork by the Sante Fe Railroad.  The train set up made us think of cousin Gary, who is a model train enthusiast.

We went for a ride in the jeep on out Forest Road 35.  We didn’t see anything very interesting just a lot of open land with scrub brush, some short trees and one lone coyote.  The land is very rocky and dry. 

 

 After lunch we went for a walk and found a dry creek bed. We wandered along it looking for interesting rocks.

 

 

We have very limited internet access here, it seems to come and go. I was hoping for better access, so I could finish loading my pre written blogs.  Oh well, just have to work with what we have.  Surprisingly we put up the antenna and we are able to pick up three stations.  We get to watch the news tonight.  We have been listening to the weather on our little hand held radios. (Thanks Dad!)
