okay, i failed in my attempt to remember everything that i did for the remainder of the daze of my trip....
so i will just squeeze in tid bits here and there of the highlights....
which gives you really the creme de la creme anyways...
after leaving lala land, we had one last visitor...
thats a ladybug....
destination: mesquite nevada....
on our way, we blinked and almost missed this tiny town...
we pull up to mesquite.
mesquite is a booming town right in the middle of the sage sprinkled desert.
this is home to forest, or at least one of many of the places he calls home.
he took me to his house...which conveniently was scorched by a fire shortly after forest came to bozeman. i say conveniently because forest has stayed in bozeman longer because of it.....
reconstruction junction inside
see...the bozeman forest is much different than the mesquite forest.
this one he built and lived in for awhile...then sold. not too shabby.
which rests comfortably by his parents place, which they also built...
in plain view of forests palm trees....
can't forget rocco, prissy, and toughie!
we went on a jeep ride up lime kiln with forests brother william... climbed in caves, went fast and took chances...
had stayed with forests no nonsense dad david and cora, betty crockers long lost cooking rival.
the following day was saturday, the day before halloween.
we dressed up and went to vegas....
but before we did that, we stopped by forests grandparents house, or more appropriately forests grandparents 'museum' just down the road.
again, grandpa deForest and grandson Forest were all business....
so i just pranced around taking photos....
and admiring their spectacular views....
and aunty mickeys place...naturally... :)
aww...vegas was big. first time there. we had to leave early the next a.m. so we just did the strip and came home.
packed, rested well.
drove almost 800 miles the following day...
and saw 4 rainbows...
this one was close! quite possibly the closEST ever. i spose the pot of gold was the waves of golden colored grain? was that corney? yes it was. and i feel jewed.
