Updates

Haven’t been able to update over the past week. We have been at the Tyson Wells Sell-a-Rama since last Tuesday and internet connections have been few and far between for me.
The weather has been perfect here with temps around 74 degrees each day and sunny. Last year, it was cold during the first several days and quite windy. What a difference. Hope we can escape the rain. I understand that the East has been under a big freeze since last week and have had some snow.

Tyson Wells Sales-a-Rama is a gigantic event where vendors come in from all over the place and sell their goods. Part of it is consumed by rock and mineral vendors while the other 2/3 of the vendors sell anything and everything imagineable. There really are not too many other shows to choose from this time of year and if you have a motor home, then it’s like a mini-vacation AND if you are older, you really appreciate the warmer temperatures. People have been selling here for years and we have been here for 6 years ourselves, finding our ‘permanent’ spot here in X-19. We have a nice neighborhood of vendors in this area as many of us have known each other from other California shows.

RV’ers from all over the country congregate here every winter and park their motor homes in the same areas each year, mostly in the BLM lands just south of Tyson. However, there are thousands upon thousands of RV’s parked in the area for the winter.

I will be giving updates here every 2-4 days, whenever possible. We are returning on Feb 16 and once again, we will be covering a vast array of topics after that
