While staying at the Crossroads BLM campground, I noticed the remnant of an old building and decided to investigate further. This area was known as Crossroads, California in the 1930s.

What a tale these walls could tell. Lots of walking and some biking. Took a trip to see the ghost town of Swansea. They found silver and when it ran out they mined copper until the bottom fell out of the market after the first world war.

Even Denny couldn't resurrect this relic.

Then encountered some snow in the desert. Lake Havasu City even got snow (elevation 545 ft) for the first time in 27 years.

New Year's Eve was a quiet affair, but some of the locals had their own fireworks. I tried something new with my venison, added some spices and a package of stovetop stuffing. It worked out great!

Let's see what the New Year will bring.
