This, That & T'Other Plus Girl Fun!













One of the couples we pal with in Yuma does Cowboy Shoots...competitions...pistols, shotguns & rifles. This year we finally made it to a shoot and watched for a bit. Everyone dresses in costumes of a certain period and has period names. This is Diamondfield Jack and Celia Fate.
This could be a fun hobby, and I intend to introduce a couple people to it. Perhaps they would find it fun.

They wear the ammunition needed for a round, but also have a cart carrying lots of spare ammo and extra weapons for the rest of the day(s). It's not a cheap sport.
We're doing 'breakfasts in the desert' again. Great group of folks and super delicious food. This month even chocolate dipped strawberries showed up along with cinnamon frybread made fresh on a campstove...yum!


We got together (we being us and two neighbor couples) at the local gun club and shot everything we owned. And we even tried out each others' weapons. It was great fun, even though I couldn't hit the side of a barn with a pistol...lol...NOT! I think we'll be going more and practicing.


This is a local geocacher ready to ride off into the bombing range for a little fun. It was a tad bit windy that day, so she wore the goggles and found out she can't wear the goggles and her ballcap at the same time...hee-hee. Had a lot of laughs with the 'gal-pal'...repaired a string of caches, which were in bad shape...checked out all the beautiful flowers blooming now in the desert...visited with the border patrol...laughed and snacked...and really did find some new/old caches, which had eluded us before.
