2014/06/25 – Wednesday – Vacation - Day 05 - Goats, Mine, and Museums

Today was going to be a easy going day.  We had two things planned.

We finally found the correct location of a goat cheese making location.  The owner took us on the tour of the location and he makes several flavors of cheeses that go all over area.  They even have other animals on the ranch - dogs, horses, cow, sheep, ducks, chickens, burrow, potbelly pig, and of course goats - Lots of goats.

Next we stopped at the gas station to top off the van. 

We were getting hungry so we went past the next location and proceeded onto Kramer Junction for lunch.

We stopped at the Rio Tinto Borax Mine.  The visitor center was interesting and we got lucky and had a very informative instructor from the company.

We then found out about two museum in town of Boron.  We visited the Col. Vernon P. Saxon Jr. Aerospace Museum and the 20 Mule Team Museum.

We stopped at a store to get something to drink.

If you look, you can find interesting things that our out there!

2008/06/26 – Thursday – Salt and Dancing

A big group of us went and did the Salt mine tour. First we stopped at the tour got our tickets for 11:20 then we head back down the road to an Amish restaurant. Food was good and it was a really good price.

We make it back to the mine in time for our tour. We was down under the ground at about 650 feet below.

Back at camp I took about a 5 min nap.

I checked on how much to put new sensors on the trailer tires and one place said $26 per tire – too much!

We did go back to the convention center to do our shopping. We got new jewelry for the whole family plus both Moms

For dinner break we went to Denny’s. I checked on another location and they quoted $19.95 per tire – so I will have them do it.

We changed into our outfits for the evening and went back to dancing. I did get some dancing in with the kids in the after party.

Back to the RV a little after midnight – we need to be back at the convention center by 9:00 for a meeting and it is 1:00 now so good night….
