Rally Team Mile High Ranch Home Again

Everybody back in the good ole' U.S. tired but safe and sound. I think it is safe to say, "A good time was had by all!"
It was an experience for DH that he'll never forget. He took lots of pictures and we had them put on CDs today, but haven't got it all sorted out yet. I guess the NORRA site has interviews with DH and they were one of the featured teams, thus the pictures of them during the race. They both placed 4th in their respective classes, and after they reached the finish line, they took a 1\2 day guided fishing trip at LaPaz and they all caught a fish. I went to Newport Beach on Wednesday to wait for their return across the border. They had one casualty, the van got a hole punched in the oil pan and they used a part of a beer can and JB Weld in layers to fix it well enough to travel home.
They were x-rayed and searched pretty thoroughly at the border and finally made it home about dusk Wednesday. Christy and I had a very leisurely time playing with the dogs and watching the sites out over the ocean in the afternoon. She has two very smart Aussies! We stayed with them Wed night. I went to sleep listening to the waves pound the beach, and woke up to barking seals! I took an early morning walk along the walkway but didn't go clear down to the beach this time. This place is definitely my fantasy land and it's always a treat to visit there and hang with our good friends.
We said our goodbyes on Thursday and made our way back down the 101 through Laguna Beach and then the 5, stopping for lunch at Carlsbad,another special place.
Then on down the 805 to the 8 up through the Cleveland National Forest and through the Imperial Dunes and the Earth Quake area, arriving back at Yuma in time to change and relax in the pool. We have had that all to ourselves lately.
I went out and got our new camera this morning and started to tie up some loose ends getting ready to leave in the middle of next week. A crew is coming on Tuesday to wash and wax the coach, and it was back to the pool this afternoon. Now I have to put in some time this weekend working with the new camera and software, learning to use it before we leave. I hope I made a good choice....time will tell.......
