Kern River, near Bakersfield, CA

 At least the smog makes for some nice sunsets.

 

Heading north

A delay in the closing of our house purchase means that we might as well head north and take care of business there. Mail, bills, taxes, garden clean-up, house reduction, friends to catch up with...no shortage of things to do. Ohhhh, it was hard to leave Bisbee. 

Home in 5 days (1,800 miles at 360 miles a day). One more shot of a Bisbee vehicle taken as we stopped for breakfast on our way out of town:

 

 

Our first Bisbee party

This was a going away party for Sally...she was clearly well-known and well-loved in Bisbee and will be missed. It was very gracious of her to introduce us to many of her friends and neighbors - a huge benefit of buying a house directly from its owner.

We hadn't been here before, although it's right on Brewery Gulch and we've walked by it a thousand times. It surely deserves its tagline "Arizona's Smallest Bar" with a bar large enough for only three stools, but it also has a lovely outdoor deck.

This is Sally on the right, with her friend Deb who owns a gallery in town:

Below, the guy in the back wearing the hat is Grant, who owns Optimo Hatworks (optimohatworks.com). Very cool hats and we will probably need one to protect our Seattle skin from the Bisbee sun. The guy on the right is Bob, who lives part-time in Bisbee and part-time in Sequim. Small world.

There were lots of other people there, some we had met previously and many new faces. We are going to love it here.
