Monday, July 28: Trip to Desert Tower


Today Mary and I decided to sleep in and chill out. We decided we would rent a car and go to Desert Tower. I found a really good rate on the Rental Car and 

jumped on it. Alice looked really nicely, lettuce bar her car to drive down to the rental place. I ended up renting on August 11 and 12th And the guy was really

 cool and sent us the power way from the location that I was at at Miramesa. So he called the place at Poway and Poway gave me the same price as Mira mesa Hertz place. we really enjoyed 

this place. I’ve been there before and we first got there. The guy said the place was closed and Mary was good enough and smart
 enough to call the guy and he went right

 from his house which is 300 yards away from the tower, so we got to go into the tower pay the 950 each and wanted around the tower. That was really cool. I 

really like the place I always get a kick out. It has some funky roadhouse attraction vibe to it it’s very old school. He was telling us stories about people would stop 





because they had to cause their cars would overheat and they needed to stop in and get water, etc. It was really fun 
and we saw the border wall went by Jacumba Springs and really enjoyed our time up here I’m glad I got to show Mary this once in a blue moon kind of place. anyhow, the 

drive back was smooth. The sunset was pretty cool. You got back

 around 9:00 PM. Mary went upstairs asleep and I helped Dallas and we watched

 shimmer Lake again. I love watching it. It’s really cool show. It’s fun to watch more than once to figure out what really is going on and how the sheriff manipulated people along with his baby mama Steph.

Monday, November 8: Jacumba Springs in the Mexican border

What today is Monday. I inadvertently completely erased 

yesterday‘s blog posting which really sucks because I’m gonna have to reconstructing  it totally out of memory. That’s a pain in the 

butt. Well I got up early with Alice I walked with her to walk the dog it was overcast
with fog and after she left to go to work for an hour and a half I took


 a nap. That was good I then talked on the phone for a while and then decided to 


send myself off to Jacumba Springs which I visited last time 
or two times ago with Alice. Anyway I’m not in a purely rock area I 

don’t know where that is so I’m gonna go further west or east that is. I also went to the 

Mexican border which was pretty forbidding. Before I did that, I 

had I had to hit the last gas last chance gas station take care of business because 

there’s no gas station bathroom anywhere nearby. I didn’t find the

 springs but I did find a border and it was very intense.. The border was really 



intense and for boating. It’s like the desert wild isn’t it desert but looks lonely and a bit scary and

 empty. After that I went to the desert tower. I wasn’t sure it was still there. This place 

is a real trip. It is tower made of rocks overlooking the desert. It 

was built in the late 20s to commemorate the settling of the west toward discovery

 of the west. It was to all dudes there with a several dogs just 

chilling out. There’s a whole complex there with houses that look kind 

of rundown and very flat. They charge me 750 to go up to tower and I went up 



there and took a lot of pictures and video made videos. It’s a pretty bizarre place I really liked it though.  So after I went there I 
decided 
to go to Calexico because it was the closest place that I could go to was thinking to going to Yuma but you might was too far away and I wanted to get back as closeto 6 PM or 
before sunset as possible. Well Calexico was that a tourist Mecca. It’s kind of a weird little place with long buildings 

not much going on there a little Bizzarre because I’m not used to it. I didn’t stay there long I took pictures of signs of it and then drove back. The drive
 back was really nice because the sunset was really cool so I pulled over about three or four times just to take pictures and videos of the cool exciting desert sunset. 
It’s something I don’t see very often.

 I arrived back at the house at 6 o’clock just as I wanted to. So the total of 2 Hour Dr. to get to Calexico which is a combination of California and Mexico just like Mexicali is a cop is a combination of Mexico and California. Anyhow I came home and wheels I didn’t exercising and because of that I didn’t feel so good for a 

little bit. It was a fun and exciting trip. But I was left with some lingering

 sadness because of stuff in my head and words from other 

people. I was raise sleep and sleep like a baby
