GETTIN DOWN WITH THE BREHMS, 26 FEB. 2012



Greetings and salutations from the Desert. Still camped at Salton City and enjoying life. Visits from Mike and Marsha from Bisbee, Kathy from Susanville, Terry and Glenda, who stopped by for a visit and signed up for a month here at Johnson's Landing, Russ and Sharon and Rick and Darlene are camped at Thousand Trails, Palm Springs, and may stop by for a visit. Weather has been beautimus, and the company fantastic.












ELEPHANTS? MAMMOTHS, MAMEPHANTS?


There is an artist/welder somewhere in the desert that has tried to recreate noah's ark in Borrego Springs. Here, the artist has assembled a flock of pakyderm. We drove here with Terry and Glenda Lynch. Had a nice day visiting all the steel bellied creatures, sharing a sobroso Mexican lunch, and telling lies.

PAIR OF RUSTED OUT MUSTANGS




These animals look so real, and from a little distance, are real eye stoppers. For those of you who have not seen this desert art gallery, and are in the southern California, or western Arizona area, we highly recommend that you do so.

EAGLE, CHICK & RATTLESNAKE




This is not a dissabled eagle on crutches. This is an enormous weldment with the wings supported by steel poles. At the lower left is a chick ready for takeoff, and on it's right, a rattlesnake trying to rob the nest. Obviously some hidden political message here. This is so big, I could have parked the Jeep in front of it, and all it would block is the base.

I'D WALK A MILE FOR A SNACK


Well, we reenlisted for another week out here. I'm not sure what it is, but this is such a great place to relax, and there is so much to do. Next weekend is the Tierrra del Sol 50th rally. This place will be packed. Wish we could make it, but we are leaving on Friday and I'm sure the crowd will dissolve our state of rest.


....SO, the GRASSHOPPER SAY'S to the SCORPION


"...I was just jumping from ocotillo to ocotillo, when this farmer's daughter caught me and............" Oh well whatever happened, the grasshopper survives in a somewhat state of transfixation, and the scorpion is bored to death and has become comotose.


DUNE DRAGON


This peice of structure is enormous, and streaches clear across the road. Compare it to the Jeep on the right. Incredible detail work!


ALPHA JEEP


These dudes have been trying to get off this rock for so long, they have rusted in place. This weldment is amazing in it's details, even the people in the Jeep have shoelaces on their shoes.

BOTTOMLESS BORREGO SUN GOD




Jose Gremlich, Borrego God of the Desert Sun. He is an Aries, likes long walks on the beach, terriyaki lizard, and Kenny G.

RAMMING BORREGO RAMS


Hope all our friends and family are having a wonderful winter like we are. As you know, we really enjoy your e-mails and think of you often. We are truly blessed to be living this life, and pray for us all that our quest for freedom and happiness will continue for our kids, grandkids and on and on. We must guarantee it!


TREE RUNNER?


This guy was busted while hiding in a tree at the golf course. What kind of a roadrunner hides in a tree? (You shoulda heard the coyotes last night)
