gorgeous weather !

I sure am feeling better, now that Christmas is behind me, and the weather has become so nice and sunny ... it is just gorgeous ! ... while I've also enjoyed gloomy, foggy weather in the past, nowadays, that cold dampness makes the old, broken bones hurt too badly, so now, Sybil & I hunt for the warmth ! ...

here's my current sunny neighborhood, and my nearest neighbors

neighbor Tim's rig is near the center of the pic ...
Tim's camper setup
I enjoy visiting with neighbor Tim, he's an electronics engineer, and very intelligent ... another neighbor mentioned Tim worked for one of the famous aerospace labs, I definitely can believe that, after talking with him ...

Tim's rig includes the obvious solar panels on a rotating base he made himself, plus his wind generator, and even a weather station on that other pole, along with his TV antenna ! ... 

his mobile, survival lifestyle seems to be comfortable for him, and I sure wish I got his gas mileage ! ... Tim will be leaving in a couple days, moving further south, but Sybil & I will be hanging around a bit longer ... I will need to pull out and dump my tanks in a few days, and will move camp when I do ... if I still think I can get away with it, I will return to this area, but move aways up the road, try to be more discreet ...

a pair of Rangers parked for lunch yesterday ...
I was a bit concerned yesterday, when a pair of BLM Rangers parked on a nearby hill, evidently just meeting for lunch ... I waved at them as they left, and they waved back (I didn't see any Eviction notices in their hands) !

I like camping here so much, if allowed, I'd sit here the entire winter ! ...
