What is on my mind? Where are we? If you are interested you may find out here. If your not that is the beauty of the keys on your computer, you can surely hit a couple and go to other places on the planet. IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY PEACHES, LET ME BE, STAY OUT OF MY ORCHARD, DON'T SHAKE MY TREE

Up Mount Ord
The second highest mountain around here is Mount Ord. Of course Winky wants to go up it. We are back a our base camp and will move the Earth Module in a few days up to the White Mountains. Mount Ord was once used in the Indian wars as a message point of the old fashioned devices they used to signal with the sun. Kadizzle cannot remember the name of the device, but it could be used to send a message from Flagstaff to Tombstone in 45 minutes. It was crucial in the defeat of the Apaches. Winky just came in the door and reminded Kadizzle it was called a Heliograph. Look it up the history is interesting. The ebikes will hopefully take us the six miles up the mountain. The ebikes are charging. Winky cannot stand still and a trip up that mountain should wear us both out. Cliff is pulling his fifth wheel up to his home in the White Mountains. We had a nice drive back from there yesterday. There is some wonderful country, but also some serious urban sprawl and professional slumming. Kadizzle had no idea how big a population was living up in that area. A lot of summer homes. People trying to escape the heat in Phoenix. Why people have to accumulate trash?
