Sleepy Astro

Good morning everyone! Getting ready for our big trip today flying
back to Wisconsin to buy our 14 acres of land! The doggies are going
to the pet hotel for the next 6 days, so Joe let them sleep in the
bedroom last night as a treat. Here I am with Astro laying in the nice
morning light. They were very good last night. I like to hang out with
the doggies.

Canejo! 

Here I am travelling in the H2 on our way back from camping and
stargazing at the cottonwood springs campground in Joshua tree
national park. We had a great night last night. went to bed around
2:30 - it was cold out, so me, Joe, Anne, and the doggies all piled up
in the small tent to keep warm. It was fun! This is the cool bunny
that has been made in the concrete on the Monterrey exit off the 10
freeway. We have been trying to get a shot of it for quite some time
and today we did it! I like concrete and bunnies...

Mono lake

And here I am at the neat vista point looking down on mono lake. The
sierra mountains where we go snowboarding in June/mammoth are also
nearby. I love observing! 

Mountains

Just another great shot of cool mountains and a meadow looking east
near the town of Bridgeport. Nice day for a road trip!

Mt. Rose

Here we are leaving Reno. With road construction, we accidently turned
on to Nevada 431 heading to Mt. Rose, so we got this great picture
with joe's new 3GS iPhone. I like mt. Rose!

Lavendar

Here I am at Denny's with Anne & Joe. They are deciding where we will
go today. If you look to my left, I am holding a near piece of
lavendar that I got from a beautiful bush outside. It smells
wonderful! I like lavendar (& so does gramma Thompson, I'm sure!)

Reno & Rain

Well, we made it to Reno last night around 1 am. We are trying to
figure out what to do today...it is raining right now. Here I am
outside of the hotel under the shelter. We probably won't go to the
star party near Adin - instead we may turn around try for Grandview
(outside bishop) or the standard cottonwood springs. I'll keep you
posted!

Humming Right Along!

Hey everyone! Here I am in our new Hummer H2! We are going to the
golden state star party, in northern California, near Adin. We are
staying in Reno tonight. We are traveling on the 395 right now -
pretty desolate stretch of highway. You can tell by the road sign we
are passing shadow mountain road. I love sitting high up in the H2!
You can see forever from here!
