Thank you for all the heartfelt thoughts and aide after the fire loss of all things, most precious to me Sierra. I’m still traveling in the comfortable embrace of amazing caravan tribe though currently boondocking near Pahrump at the edge of MOAN Nevada. Working on my phone which is a struggle.
Several days after the fire, Hannah’s caravan left Mill Creek continuing slowly southward following the most agreeable weather.
After a shopping stop in Tonopah we all met at Indian Lakes and enjoyed a couple days bird watching. I was jumping through insurance hoops and praying for a quick resolve. Really should have known better.
Another jump south found us north of Goldfield where some stayed at a nice rest area before continuing to Pahrump and others wanted to soak at the Alkali Flats hot spring.
We regrouped for an excellent breakfast in historic Goldfield and explored the town.
Then the hot springs group made it a day by touring the International Car Forest.
After several days of soaking and seeing wild horses we moved on to Pahrump with a stop in Beatty for a candy stock up.
Using a friend’s mail box service I received a new debit card, still waiting for replacement driver’s license. Also looking online for replacement wheeleastate.
Will try to update again soon.
I’m still shocked by happened. You seem to be moving on. Looks like a good group of people you have joined. Area looks very interesting.
I sure hope insurance comes through soon.
I am so sorry for all that. I am happy that you are in a caravan. Good luck with the insurance people.
Gaelyn, I am so very sorry for your terrible loss, especially Sierra. I am very late finding out*. So sad, but I am happy you are with a good group of friends. Hoping for insurance to come through soon.
* I ‘m slowing down more every day in every way and especially in my blogging. I missed everything. I don’t do FB much any more either but I will go and atry to find you there.
I am feeling vey guilty as I have been trying to keep up with you and what is happening, but the garden has taken over my life in the last two months. Things are now slowing down a bit, just a lot of quinces on the tree to freeze, bottle or jelly. I have not blogged since the middle of August and I have a mass of photos to sort out.
I know you must be feeling the tremendous loss very badly, but I am delighted that you have met up with such a great bunch of people and that you have kept on the move. I hope the insurance company come up with some answers very soon and you can get back to some sort of normality.
Take care you are so often on our minds. Very big hugs from us both, Diane and Nigel.
Oops very guilty!!
I’m amazed at you Gaelyn and how well you are dealing with such a tragic loss. I don’t know the full story of how you happened to meet up with this caravan or which of them you are actually staying with but I am grateful for them and that you have found them. I can sympathize with you totally and completely understand how frustrating and difficult the insurance crap is and I only lost my toad I didn’t lose my truck and my rig or a beloved friend. You help me keep my situation in perspective though this is going to put me thousands of dollars in debt to get back to where I was 10 minutes before she plowed in to me. I really really hope it’s not as costly for you.
Good to see that Gaelyn smile! Wheelestate shopping, I’m sure, would be much easier if the insurance would get a move on so I’m sending them an extra dose of ESP on your behalf! Hugs to you!!
Apparently, I’m off the email posting for new GeoGypsy content(?).
Looks like your still adventuring with great new friends. And cavorting bareback in a hot spring with a glass of Champagne or Wine is one of my favorite things to do.
Looks like your getting on okay while waiting for your life to mend.
PS_ One suggestion you likely already thought of is to buy gently used camera at KEH(recommended),Adorama, Mercari? I’m a little shy of eBay. Another Nikon 5600, or the great Oly_ E-M10 II https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/bang-for-the-buck-olympus-om-d-e-m10-ii-review
Just to let you know I’m thinking about you.
please post if you can as to your whereabouts and how you are faring with the insurance folks. The nightmares you have been through and likely still are going through are ever in my thoughts.
