Spring Break

   We spent our Spring Break in the West Desert near Topaz Mountain. This is a little late in posting and our memories are great at closing files so we will try and share what we can. We didn't actually camp at Topaz Mountain. We pulled off a little dirt road called Joy Road...there were no signs...it was just dirt road on the opposite side of the road from the turn off to Topaz. We camped by a great agate collecting site. Many beautiful specimens. We had prime rock hounding companions in some of our grandchildren. Highlights of the trip include kite flying, game playing, bracelet weaving and scary stories.
New recipe we tried for camping was Mexican Haystacks. It was made with Fritos, chili, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, olives etc.it was good and very filling. A good meal for a late arrival at camp.
 Favorite memory from Johnnie. I loved hearing the children tell scary stories. They sat (or ran) in the trailer and told us stories that seemed to include a lot of man eating sharks. I also loved finding the beautiful rocks.

Favorite memory from Superman My favorite memory was finding the treasure hill of agate and collecting it with my wife.
