On the Road # 10
On the Road #10
December 25, we departed California at Blythe on I-10, and crossed the Colorado River which is the border between California and Arizona. Not only does the Colorado River water flow with gravity toward Los Angeles but it has recently been diverted east, toward Phoenix and to other arid places. This water has allowed the people of Arizona to become large scale farmers. There are miles of citrus groves, cotton and feed for cattle. This has altered their climate. The desert is more humid now. Just west of Phoenix are three giant nuclear reactors that generate enormous amounts of electricity.
Question…name three other nuclear plants in the US?
We spent Christmas Night in Phoenix and the next morning, December 26, convoyed with our daughter, JoAnn and her two sons, Kris and Bobby.
At Deming, NM we looked South toward the Mexican Border and saw a tethered blimp that the Border Patrol uses to guard our border.
In El Paso we stopped by Mary’s brother, Tom. He and his wife live on the west side of Mt. Franklin with a spectacular view of El Paso and Juarez. His three children, their spouses and their children were all there; seventeen in all. What a delightful beginning to the three day reunion.
. Brother Tom took us all to his garage to see the radio controlled air planes that he builds. His latest is a replica of The Spirit of St Louis which has a twelve foot wing span. Our two grandsons and his grandsons experienced a lot of hanger talk.
December 27 nine cars and vans motored two hours to the loneliest ranch you can imagine. The last thirty eight miles were on a dirt road. We paused at one point to watch a heard of forty Antelope running through the ranch land. The Bob Jones Ranch is 400 square miles. They run about 800 head of cattle. When there is a good snow fall the grass is shoulder high.
At the Cornudas, strong winds were up all day long and it was very cold. We ate in the lea of the mountain and enjoyed the stories told by Bob Jones of the Butterfield Stage and of the Indians who lived there. The Buffalo Soldiers left their mark here as well. Mary’s dad lived here in his early teens and experienced many adventures. There are Indian pictographs and evidence of the Mastodon having roamed there.
We returned to the hotel for a short time and headed for the Indian Hills Ranch at Fabens, TX to have steak at the Cattleman’s Steak House and to celebrate out sixtieth wedding anniversary.
This is the place where we celebrated Mary’s dad’s 100th birthday.
Picture the back drop of a Western movie set; this was where we had our steak.
There were 58 family members gathered. Tom closed the doors and gave Carol and JoAnn the floor. They shared sweet thoughts and memories and then we had fun telling a few things about our sixty years together.
December 28, we all caravanned 80 miles on I-10, which parallels the Rio Grande River, to the Neely Ranch. It was a day of feasting, horse back riding, hiking to the River and looking at the geologic formations that look like ice cream cones. In the late afternoon we had tea time and celebrated another anniversary. Our cousins Raymond and Betsy Whetstone were married 33years ago at the ranch on this same day. We danced the evening away on the black top at the side of the ranch house. David Brown had downloaded just the right music; there was the Virginia Reel, Schottische, Put your Little Foot, Waltz Across Texas, Cotton Eyed Joe and others. Thanks David.
December 29 was the day of departure. Some went to the White Sands in NM. Investigate the geology of White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns NM. The White Sands are not composed of sand. What is it?
We continued on I-10 east to Fredericksburg, TX. At exit 284 there were many, many wind chargers. Can you name other places where these wind chargers are generating electricity?
