Pizza and more Carrot Cake

We spent another day chilling at the Lazy D, and along about 1:00PM headed into Seligman to grab lunch. We had a huge pizza and left with about half of it in a box, then decided to stop in at Lilo's for another chunk of that Carrot Cake they dish out. A couple of day ago we split a piece between the four of us but today we decided we each needed our own dessert. Brenda and Linda had some kind of cream Pie while Dave and I each a huge chunk of Carrot Cake. I think we both brought half of our cake home afterwards. The rest of the day was just spent hanging out. Today was a little chilly so that was done inside, so none of the mythical locusts were spotted on this day.

Our plan is to hook up and roll a little further south tomorrow, always searching for the perfect temperature. We wandered over to the barn to say goodbye to the critters but they were all inside eating their evening repast, and only Annie came out, maybe to say, what, are you guys still here I thought you were leaving today? All in good time Annie, all in good time.

Lazy D Ranch Visit

Yesterday we pulled into our friends Dave and Linda's Lazy D Ranch west of Seligman, Arizona and set up our rig DPA (Dogpound Anywhere) for a few days here to give us time to tell some tall tales and catch up on all the goings on with our Arizona friends. We spent the afternoon jawing away in the sunshine and then settled into a wonderful dinner that Linda had concocted for us. Today was a lazy day, I spent the morning wandering around the place seeing what had changed since our last visit here back in 2016? Later in the day we ran into Seligman for Ice Cream but enroute that changed to Hamburgers and fries with white gravey, followed by the biggest chunk of carrot cake you ever saw. It fed the four of us just fine, but remember we came to town for Ice Cream and as a firm believer in the value of Ice Cream Therapy I wasn't going to let that get overlooked so we headed down Route 66 a little farther and found the local Ice Cream Parlour for a little after dessert, dessert. All that good food meant we were going to delay the dinner Brenda had been working on this morning till tomorrow as I think I am not out of line saying that we all had eaten enough to last until tomorrow. The rest of the afternoon was again spent chillin' and visiting, while Dave worked and I did what I have always done best, watched him work, welding, feeding the mules and the mini's and soon enough it was full dark and time to slip off to DPA to put something together for my journal. Now this looks like one big run on sentence but I have yet to discover how to actually make paragraphs in Blogger without inserting pictures into the mix, so I guess I will have to get busy and take some images.

Time to take a break folks

Well today I never even took the lens cover off of my camera. We pulled up stakes at the Grandview Tower and rocked and rolled our way out to the Parks Highway and then headed south to Williams. Along the way we stopped at the Raptor Ranch near the Valle Airport to fill up a couple of propane bottles. Nice place, friendly people. Then it was off to the Williams, Arizona, Maverik station to feed the 450 and dump our tanks. After which we ventured downtown trailer in tow, to find a dispensary for some stuff Brenda needed to deal with her CRPS which has been in a flare since she took a tumble the day before we left Dogpound North. We couldn't find any potable water around town and convenient so we headed west on I-40 towards our friends place at Seligman. Enroute we stopped and filled up at the KOA in Seligman and then headed west to Anchor Rock Road and the trail to Markham Pass. It was great to get into Dave and Linda's place and get set up, then spend the rest of the day trading stories, mostly all true of course. Linda whipped up a great dinner for us with some frozen Key Lime Pie that was to die for. We are going to spend a couple of days here before venturing south into the Sonoran Desert for some more boondocking time. Last night our furnace quit on us, and everything indicates it is the sail switch that was on the fritz, but it appears that the rough road out of the park has knocked the lint or whatever was on it, off, as it seems to be working again. Time will tell I guess, but I will take the warning seriously and order a new sail switch for it somewhere along our travels.
