Feb 14, Wednesday - HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
Yet another road trip today.
With Clem & Marlene again, we met a group of metal detector enthusiasts for a trip to a ghost town in California. Midland is 21 miles north of Blythe. It was a gypsum mine and produced sheetrock when it was an active town. There are a few people living out there in RVs. All the buildings were razed after hippies started living in them years ago. We ignored many, many nails and bottle caps and dug up miscellaneous other metal junk. It was very windy so the group did not even get together for lunches that we all brought. An amazing sight in a ravine on the edge of “town” was mounds of reject sheetrock covering several acres. Clem pointed out mistletoe growing on palo verde trees - another thing that I have not seen before.
We stopped for a few groceries at Albertson’s in Blythe before heading back.
It is now just after 8 and it sounds like the wind is finally dying down a bit.
