What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Happy Friday, my friends! We had an easy-going day yesterday with a visit to Homestead National Historical Park. I can't remember when or where I first heard about this place, but I was most interested in the Quilt Discovery Experience there. As it turns out, the Quilt Discovery Experience was just a small part of the park. The rest was all about the Homestead Act signed into law by President Lincoln in 1862. It documented the lives of the homesteaders, and the challenges they faced. The exhibits and short video also gave fair time to the Native Americans who ...

We made good on our promise to walk a portion of the North Country National Scenic Trail yesterday. What a lovely hike! Our mission was to see the Sunne Farm, which is a part of the state park. We started out from our campsite, walking much the same way we had on our evening stroll the night before. This time, we walked past the visitor center and onto the national scenic trail itself.

Okay, so let's back up to our drive through Titus Canyon again. One of the things I most wanted to see along the way was the ghost town of Leadfield. There are ghost towns everywhere in Nevada. As I've mentioned previously (and over a period of years), there are many stories of some individual or some company going boom and bust here in the harsh environment of Death Valley. Leadfield is another example of that.

Good early morning, my friends! We're here in Flagstaff, Arizona, this morning, moving on to Boulder City, Nevada, before the end of the day.

There were two venues we wanted to see while here in Bloomfield. The longest (and most teeth-rattling) journey was to Chaco Culture National Historical Park. We chose to do that one first. The morning started with the usual lap occupation. One thing about traveling: the kitties get plenty of lap time.

But, cruel kitty parents that we are, we did leave. We headed due south on US Hwy 550 for some miles before turning off on a county road leading to the park. The landscape is ...

Hey there, my fiends! We're back in cell signal land! Yahoo! Did you miss me? Man, I sure missed you guys. Holy smokes, we have a lot of catching up to do. Would it surprise you to know that all the time we've been offline, I've been thinking about how to catch y'all up? I think I have it figured out, but you'll have to bear with me for a couple of days. As the title would indicate, we're in Silverton now.

 As I mentioned in yesterday's post, our Thursday afternoon turned bright a sunny. We grabbed the opportunity to get out and do a little sight-seeing. Our first stop was this lookout above the state park. Looking to the north, we saw this:
