Last Hurrah: Post # 3

 The weather has warmed up...so it's time for a hike up the hillside!  Doris, of course, is in the lead.  She is the fastest walker and has already done this several times this week.  We're headed towards the orange wind sock up on the bluff.

As we turn around, the blue waters of the Colorado River appear along with a partial view of our campground.  Right now, there is no one nearby and it is extremely quiet.  Peaceful.

Another view from here reveals a trio of jet skis heading south down the river.  Across the river is California.  

And as Sandy and I turn around towards the hillside, there is Doris waving to us!  Sometimes I think she has more energy than the Energizer Bunny!

More delicious food is on the agenda for today.  Shelly made taco meat from White Tail deer meat.  It tastes just like regular beef, no gamey taste at all.  She has also cooked up taco shells and there is a huge assortment of toppings including cilantro, guacamole, avocado, different cheeses, non-dairy cheese, lettuce, etc.  Both Doris and Shelly are working hard at getting everything ready.  TACO TIME!

The crowd is down 4 people.  Kerry and Bob, and Greg and Lori left Monday morning to head home and to go back to work.  

Thursday was beignet day.  This is a tradition for Jerry, who makes the dough from scratch.  Then he and Sandy team up to roll out the dough, cook them in the Dutch oven and coat them with powdered sugar.  This is a treat all of us look forward to (except me because of my lactose intolerance-drats).

I'm going to call Jerry "Beignet Boy"! 😀  The Legend Lives On....
