Land of the Lost

January 6th, 2010 jeremi Posted in My Family |

So the first few days of the new year were spent out on the property in Nevada.  I’ll be truthful, I wasn’t that excited to go, being winter and all.  But I went to humor Dh and it wasn’t too bad.  When we first got there Dh had some things to do to the shipping container before we could move in our gear and start a fire so I pretty much froze then.  Once we got the fire going all was well in the warmth department.  I’m just gonna post a handful of pics from the trip here, I’m sure Dh will have a much more exciting commentary on his blog soon!

Obviously some work still to be done (and some cleaning, haha)

Part of the big circular “driveway”, I used it as a track to do laps.

I decided to go jogging and Drew wanted to join me.  I don’t think she’s ever really jogged just to jog before, we only went a little over a mile but she stuck with me every step of the way even though she got a crazy sideache and looked like she wanted to be done.  Hmm maybe we have another marathoner in the family (aunt N????)

We shot guns, we went to the local Cowboy Bar/Cafe for their “world famous” burgers…..which Dh loves and I think the beef is too thick to eat….but the chicken strips were good! ;)  We saw the tiny little school and visited the dump.  We hung out with some of the locals.  All in all for me it’s a great place to get away from life but I think I’d start to go crazy eventually, especially from not having a shower…..hopefully that will be installed soon!

(Yes I blurred it on purpose…that seems to be the thing to do these days! )
