3/10/16 - On 3/6, I went to church with Aunt Ada and then out for lunch.  Her friend Dorothy joined us as well.  I stayed because in the evening there was another concert.  It was really good.

3/9 - I went to Wickenburg to meet up with Judy (who use to be a neighbor in Plain City).  She and her husband Tom have been RVing for the past 23 years and they dry camp most of the time instead of camping in a RV resort like I do.  We met at a Mobil gas station since they are off a fairly rough gravel road.  They are parked 9 miles in from the main road.  They are parked along a mountain range with lots of Saguaro cactus, sand and desert but it is beautiful.  They are five miles from a river (I forgot the name) and so when we got to the RV, Judy took the ATV and Tom and I went in the jeep and headed for the river.  What an interesting ride.  The river right now is very low and we were able to just drive through it!!  We stopped off at an old homestead that is no longer occupied but they knew the individual that lived there who just passed away last summer.  Judy picked up a few items to remember him by.  We stopped off at another homestead and met the owner.  I think his name was Rusty.  Judy might have to correct me.  He was a very interesting fellow and has lived in the area for over 20 years.  He built a cover with cement and parked his trailer under neath it.  Of course talked about all kinds of wild animals included rattle snakes, deer and javelinas!!!  Talk about the wild, wild west.  Judy and Tom have a really nice place and they do all solar panels for their electricity!  They have a fire pit made out of stones and Judy built her own labyrinth up along the mountainside.
She does a lot of hiking, volunteers at a campground, is a crafter and just really keeps very busy.
Before I left, we stopped off at Denny's and had lunch.  I had such a wonderful day with both her and Tom and sure made some wonderful memories.
