I picked up supplies and the calendars on my way to the border parking lot where Gayle and I would spend the night (360 video) before walking to Mexico in the morning for her dental appointment.  Was a rather different experience watching the Mexican moon.

Joann picked me up Tuesday morning and I used her rig to get to the post office, along with hordes of others.  I’d expected that.  Only took an hour.  Fortunately I was able to use a case on wheels to haul the heavy pile of calendars.

elf by AZ mapStill have a few calendars left if you’re interested.  $25 each includes shipping in the USA.  No guarantee they will be shipped by the end of 2022 because I’m camped in the middle of nowhere once again.  I am a happy camper.

Wednesday morning after a little shopping, found me moving to another location with lovely views of the Cargo Muchacho Mountains.
