More Big Bay Sites

I loved this building on the left. The top of it looks like the head of a phillips screw driver. Really cool office building.

Here are a bunch of Navy Hornets in for repairs.
This is a hospital ship that carries 1,000 beds.



This is the USS John Stennis just coming into port. The little pegs are sailors standing all the way around the deck. It carries over 5,000 men and is nuclear powered.


The San Diego Bay Cruise


This is a replica of the first America's Cup winner. I like the cut of their jib.
Under the Coronado Bridge

Downtown buildings are beautiful!



This is a car hauler based out of London going under the Coronado Bridge.

San Diego

This is San Diego University from Ricky and Renee's house.

This is Tammy, Ricky, and Rick with the granddog, Rain. Check out the blooming hedge of Jade plants. Awesome!

Slab City


Slab City is just up the road from Salvation Mtn. It was originally built by the Army to use as a base but was never used. It is now inhabited by
trailers and motorhomes from Thunderdome I believe.



Here is another Mad Max vehicle at Slab City. We did see a license plate from Sheridan, WY. I think it was good for me to see this....I am much more thankful for what I have.
How would you like to sit a spell in this easy chair? All I could say was WOW!


This is inside one of the rooms. Oh yeah, this has been declared a national folk art treasure.


Here is Leonard Knight, the man that is responsible for this by turning his life over to God. He is holding the plague that Barbara Boxer gave him declaring this a protected site.

We have been to the Mountain!


This is a work in progess, but it is all done with donated paint and volunteers.
This is the main attraction....the salvation mountain. It has taken 50 years to get all this done.

We were told that we had to go see it so we did. Just turn at this sign.

Cabbage Patch


We are still amazed to see these fields in Yuma. Looks like these cabbages are ready to be picked. It was in the upper 70's today and supposed to be in the 80's for the next few days. We will be headed to the pool again. Went to Mexico yesterday. Living the dream!
