It has been a little boring here lately.
Monday I went to "Herbs Hardware" a really good hardware store here in Quartzsite. I needed to get some parts to set up an auxiliary propane tank for "Plan B".
Otherwise I would have to drive the RV to the "RV Pit Stop" to get the on board tank filled.
I found all the parts at Herbs. Then spent about an hour putting them together. It works great. no leaks. :o) Now when the Propane runs out I can just disconnect the tank, throw it in the back of the jeep and go get it filled.
Simple eh?

Today, we decided to take a ride out to the "Horse Tanks" to see how much water was left after the big storm. Also, we wanted to check out a cave that the natives had used.

As you will remember, last week we went out there at the height of the big storm to get pictures of waterfalls.
Here are some pictures to compare last week with today.
This is during the storm.


This is the same place today.

There is still a nice pond at the bottom.

and a trickle coming down the rock.

There is a pond a little further up stream with a a little water dripping into it from above.

After checking out the water we drove back along the road about a tenth of a mile to check out the Indian cave. Here is Patti at the opening

Look at the many grinding holes in the floor of the cave.

This must have been a good area for Mesquite beans or what ever they were processing here.
We wandered around a little bit looking for other habitable caves but didn't find any.


Tomorrow we are going to take a group to "Skull Rock" for a weenie roast so stay tuned.
