Winter visit in Audubon 2009

Winter in Audubon had not changed since we went south. A short visit after Christmas time brought all the experience back. Brian can practice inside and wait for good weather.

Christmas 2009 in Pahrump

Even without the extreme cold and snow, Christmas is still a very festive occasion.

Snow in Pahrump 2009

Only one day of snow shortly before Cristmas. By noon it had all

melted and we had a sunny day.

Fall 2009 in Pahrump

We try to become involved in a lot of sights and activities. Shoshone Days brought us to a wagon train that used the old Spanish Trail . Our friend "Doc" and his pet goat are inseparable during one of our Rockhound outings. A fiddler contest and craft-art show in Death Valley was lots of fun.

Fall 2009 in Pahrump

Our trees have grown a lot during our absence. We also have made the effort for a Fan Palm in our yard. It has spikes in its trunk and planting also required a trip to the Doctor. The bottle house is near Death Valley. It must have required a lot of drinking and was cheaper then wood or concrete. Relaxing during sunsets is always magical.

Fall 2009

It was nice to get back to the warm weather and outdoor activities. We harvested a great crop of tumbleweeds from our yard. The sunsets have always been spectacular. Being outdoors with no bugs is also a treat.

Always active in some sport.

Always competition at the Lobitz house.
