WOW, I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted.
My husband and I went on a 5 week long road trip to Arizona. Did lots of sightseeing & exploring in the desert.
Glen bought a used metal detector in Parker, Arizona and tried his luck at finding gold in the hills of Arizona and California. No luck with gold but found lots of old bullets and other stuff.

I knitted 15 dish cloths along the way. Made them out of doubled #10 crochet cotton. I had a bunch of partial balls and just wound them all up, used 3.5mm (3 U.S.) (10 Canadian) knitting needles. They seem to have more scrubbing power than worsted weight cotton.
Saw a herd of antelope south of Great Falls, Montana on our way home. Picture shows about 1/3 of them.
Visited with friends, Larry & Dianne who live in Palm Desert California.They used to be neighbours 28 years ago. I sure envied their lemon and orange tree. You can't believe the smell of fresh oranges while peeling them.

Not much for wildlife, but what we found was interesting.
