The rain is here, but that's OK. Rain in the desert just makes big puddles, but right now it's not real muddy. We went to the 'big tent' for breakfast and "first timers orientation". They offer different seminars during the day so we went to one on Brakes & Suspension and then one on Geocacheing. The Geocaching one sounds like fun and we'll try it out on our travels. There are a lot of cache's hidden here in Quartzsite, but we'll wait for good weather. Wind gusts are now up to 30 - 40 mph and we are rocking a little - good thing we are buffered by the big rigs.
Spent the afternoon blogging and catching up on the "old blog" entries. We made plans with Marcie and Glenn to have cocktails before we went to the Hot Dog Bash. I made a 3 Bean Salsa I found on our trip thru Wisconsin last spring. This was our first cocktail party in the coach...
When they arrived we learned the events for tonight had been cancelled. The ten is really flooded and the wind has picked up. We decided to go out to dinner so off to the Quail Mountain Cafe. A cute little place like a diner. We had a great waitress who was really quick with the one liners. She and Ken got going and when Ken ordered "little ice" in his coke she says "here you go Mr. Picky". We had a great time exchanging barbs and jokes. When we left the rain had stopped, moon wast out, and the wind was worse. The rain must have been really heavy while we were at dinner because the road we came in on was closed as the "wash" was over flowing the road. We found another way out and picked our way thru some good size flowing puddles. Good thing we were in Glenn's truck.
When we got back we learned there were severe wind warnings and a tornado watch until midnight. By 9:30pm the winds had died down. We hope the rain doesn't come back so some of the events tomorrow can go on. We make our own fun so a little rain won't bother us....
