I didn't take very many pics and the ones I took are fairly lame... lol... I do have a few that came out ok and will try to get them posted this eve.
Brian, it was a real pleasure to meet you and Christa. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Christa for taking care of Lucky dog on Wed. He was really wiped out after rock hunting on Tues. and needed the break. He truly is a lucky dog.

Nothing like red dirt on a RTH sticker.

Okay, I tried to take pics, but it's just so hard to collect and take pics too! So, the jet stream followed me down to Woodward Ranch and that made for a bumpy landing and take off in Phoenix and a bumpy landing in El Paso. As you've heard, it was very cold at the ranch with the wind gusting, which made it impossible to set up tents. Notice the hair blowing Well, here's my bed; I'm done! Almost got it! Finally! The Green Burrito! The Ranch The one and only, Condor. Some wild flowers. Now, I only brought a few rocks home in my luggage, the rest are being mailed to me. But, here's what I've got so far. A few cabs That's it for now. Until next time......

Ed, that first rock pic is unreal . Even if only that one worth the trip! I don't have any pics except area and cactus flowers yet. We got here Sunday evening in time to unpack my stuff from her truck then go to my parents for dinner so they could see Jeri before she left the next morning, and I have been working early so no time to do anything but that. I did a few cabs while there but I can't seem to find them or my cooking stuff so must have left them all in the truck? Rock pics when I can find the time to take them. I think Jeri has a pic of our "Campfire" somewhere? Nudge nudge

Great finds Ed and a nice picture show. That pic of Jamie trying to fly a kite ( pitch her tent) is priceless *L*. I'll bet she was happy when she finally had it set up. You know, in three spring trips to Woodward, I've only hit one with halfway decent weather ( burning hot). The other two were just like yours, cold, so windy we almost blew off the ridges, and even freezing sleet . Pretty country and great rocks but man I do not have good luck with the weather there.....Mel

Well, here's my bed; I'm done! Hope it was as comfy as you're used to. I had a great time! Wish I could have spent more time with each of you. Has Beef 'weighed in' yet? I'd really like to know what his total take was! Anyone want to hazzard a guess as to the total miles this Blitz added to my truck? Later, jeri

Great pics Dan and Ed! Glad you got pics of Deb, has anyone heard from her? I can't tell you how great it was to finally meet you Dan! Oh and Lucky Dog too ;D Ed you wasted no time on the cabs!! Sweeet! And that first plume is to die for. I did some cuts Sunday but have been swamped trying to catch up since. Hope to do some pics in the next few days. Jeri I posted lots of pics on the photo board. My total haul was near 200 lbs (give or take). Thank you for setting things up, it was such a great trip and we really enjoyed spending time with you! Sorry you didn't find your keys out there. Here's one to add to the thread

Thanks Brian... was real good to meet you and Christa as well. Lucky was glad to be home but I think he was ready to go back the next day. He got all excited when I leashed him Sunday morning to hang out with me in the front yard while I cleaned up the Jeep. Lucky dog says 'woof'!

In case anyone is curious... It was a stick that punctured my tire. Wonder where that came from? ;D Later, jeri
