Bob and Owlie's Desert Travels!


Yay! I was happy that Bob made it all the way from Australia to California safely and on time :D My cats seemed to think him a little odd-smelling, though :P

<img300*0:stuff/stuff%20and%20Bob%20002.jpg>Here he is! Safe and sound!
 
<img300*0:stuff/stuff%20and%20Bob%20008.jpg>Bob and I about to browse Elftown on a nice lazy morning.


<img300*0:stuff/stuff%20and%20Bob%20010.jpg>A little portion of neighborhood and valley taken sitting in my car--we wouldn't dare go outside in the heat!
 
<img300*0:stuff/61st%20street.jpg>No Bob (was was sitting by the air conditioner on the ride home), but a good look at our main road.


<img300*0:stuff/Cloesup%20of%20Bob.jpg>Whoa! A little close! ^^' The real valley can be seen in the background here...
 
<img300*0:stuff/Top%20of%20N.jpg>...and here too. A better picture. Most of the "green" is not natural for this area--just lucky trees that can manage most of the time. My house is right on the edge of that green.


<img300*0:stuff/Bob%20and%20Sunset.jpg>A nice little sunset that we just missed by a couple minutes in the west over the nearby hills. We tried to chase it a little ways but it was too late.
 
<img300*0:stuff/July%204%20Bob.jpg>Independence Day! Bob spent most of the day partying with us, watching movies and setting off fireworks! He didn't stay too long outside though--all those sparks were making him nervous :o


<img300*0:stuff/Hot!.jpg>A couple days after the Fourth, temperatures skyrocketed to OVER 110 F for an entire week! :O (Actually, our thermometer is off that time of day, so it was really closer to 115 F, or about 46 C) Bob decided to spend the rest of his time indoors instead.
 
<img300*0:stuff/Bob%20and%20Thunder.jpg>Thankfully, a little storm blew in with a 40mph gale that cooled it down for a couple days :D We almost saw a good thunderstorm--missed it by just a couple miles east--but still saw some nice clouds. This was Bob's last day in California :(



I'll be sad to let him go :( We had a lot of fun driving around looking for a good (and legal) place to park and take photos :D I hope he enjoyed it here, and makes it safely to the East Coast!

love California....
it was like getting go home for a visit with Bob through the pics! cool!

2008-07-14 [Nite_Owl]: Well I'm glad I did good :D I was worried that the pics wouldn't be too great compared to yours. That trip up the mountain was awesome. But I almost managed to get a desert sunset in :D Close enough!

2008-07-15 [Cia_mar]: well you have more pics of bob then i did.... it was too dangerous for me to have him out too much, needed both hands to climb....lol...
but all in all i think that bob is having a great time, and also we all are too getting to participate in this...it is cool traveling the world through pics!

2008-07-15 [Nite_Owl]: I miss Australia :( We went there for vacation a couple years ago, and it was so much better than here. I was not made for it being 115 degrees all summer >.<

2008-07-15 [Cia_mar]: where in Oz did you get to go?

2008-07-15 [Nite_Owl]: Sydney and Cairns I remember the most, and a couple places I don't remember the names of now ^^' And we went through New Zealand for a few days too. Soooooooooo many killer sheep (O,o)

2008-07-15 [moira hawthorne]: BLACK SHEEP! LOL

2008-07-15 [Cia_mar]: sydney adn cairn... sounds like you should have somehow made it through or to Brisbane.... where i am.... since that is between the other two...lol...
i have yet to be as far south as sydney nor as far north as cairns, but i hear they are beautiful as well

well as richard has said, if anyone is wanting to come by for visit, you all are always welcome where we are... we have a few spare beds! lol

2008-07-15 [Nite_Owl]: :D Maybe someday I'll come back. I really want to!

2008-07-15 [Cia_mar]: that be cool! i think there should be a goal of each of us to meet most of the people in person on our friends list here on ET... it be sooooo cool!

2008-07-15 [moira hawthorne]: that would be cooooool.... so which rich guy is bank rollin this scheme!?

2008-07-15 [Nite_Owl]: I'd be too nervous--I'm probably much more awesome online than in real life ^^' Short stubby white chick with an Irishman's temper XD

2008-07-15 [moira hawthorne]: sounds fun to me!

2008-07-15 [Cia_mar]: maybe we should all start a jar for loose change adn in about 5 years maybe have enough to all meet in a central location! who knows!!!! or won the lottery that would work
