We added Chile Pepper Lights to the Mexican folk art above the LCD and really like the red color ambience that it provides to the front of the trailer in the evening.
Clustered on or near the lounge are additional items, from left to right: Silver stocking from Target, Winter issue of Airstream Life (http://www.airstreamlife.com/note.html)
A box with lighted dog collars from REI, and lights for us, voltmeter from Radio Shack, two-way Cobra radios from Camping World, hp camera docking station, and the control for one of our new electric blankets (low voltage). http://www.comforthouse.com/blankets1.html
By noon we had each departed in separate directions. Lisa and family returned to Orange County, the Luhrs' returned to their home that they had bought last spring in Arizona, and we continued boondocking near Ghost Mountain where temperatures dropped to 28 degrees overnight...
(But that’s another story.)
So as the Anza-Borrego Holiday Express rolls out…
We wish you a very Merry Christmas…
and Happy New Year! -- SilverGate, et al.
The illustration under the photo of Emma in post #386 above is actually the book cover of a wonderful, new child’s book by New York Times best-selling artist, writer Susan Jeffers.
Hey SilverGate et al... Looks like you had a fun time in the desert this trip (of course, you always do)! All those characters and activities! You're certainly out there entertaining the troops! Hope you have a great holiday season and the best of the New Year!
Ease on down the road...
TB
