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.

And we still enjoy the relaxing sounds and sights of a crackling fireplace provided by the trailer’s A-V system, and the DVD, "The Happy Holiday Hearth", by Rhino Home Video:

We updated our Protocols and Checklists binder with standardized hand signals illustrated in Tour of America post: http://tour.airstreamlife.com/wordpress/?p=1003

We have found they really help and we are putting them into practice.

On the last evening Larry made glogg (hot mulled, spicy wine) as we chatted in and around the safari.

The next morning we assembled for our group photo when a roadrunner tried to get in on the act.

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.

One additional note:

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.

The Nutcracker, is written and illustrated by Susan Jeffers and is available at her web site,
http://www.susanjeffers-art.com/default800.html
It is also available at: http://www.amazon.ca/Nutcracker-Susan-Jeffers/dp/0060743867

(Hardcover: 40 pages Publisher: Harper Collins Canada (Sep 13 2007) Language: English ISBN-10: 0060743867 ISBN-13: 978-0060743864 )

Her book speaks to the child in us all…

It certainly spoke to me.

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...

Correction to my Post #391

Historian Diana Lindsay will recount the critical events that led to the creation of what is now called Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (the largest contiguous state park in the United States outside of Alaska) during her lecture, "The Anza-Borrego Story: Celebrating 75 Years", at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, January 5, 2008, at the Performing Arts Center, in Borrego Springs, California.

Mid-Winter Happiness!

For New Year’s, we took our Safari to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park…

And hiked up Palm Canyon.

See what we saw there in my column, History Safari Express…
At: History Safari Express

Which is just one of nine fascinating columns…
At: Airstream Life » Airstream Life Online Community

Is there a Ukulele and Airstream Connection?
Well, Rich Luhr thinks so…
Tour of America » The ukulele - Airstream connection
And so do I…
History Safari Express » Blog Archive » Ukuleles and Airstreaming

We have one more New Year to celebrate…
Chinese New Year starts Thursday, February 7th and continues for 15 days.

Some view this as the most important holiday of the year and celebrate it by being together with family and friends.

It’s the year of the Wood Rat. Our Safari is decorated for the occasion, minus the rats…
Well, maybe one, an ornamental rat!

Cheers!

Got Airstream… Got Uke?

Can ukulitis be as bad as aluminitis?

Take a tour of the special exhibit, “The Ukulele & You”…
Once seen at the Museum of Making History, in Carlsbad, CA.
Museum of Making Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I returned there to learn more about America’s enduring love of the “jumping flea”…

And to discover the connection of ukuleles and Airstreams.

Wait until Diego Flamingo hears the sweet strings of the ukulele in our Safari!

See more at: Airstream Life » Airstream Life Online Community

And at: Airstream Life

Cheers!
