Day 27 - Feb 4 - Twentynine Palms

Dennis in the kitchen this morning. Omelets with Crisp Ground Beef, and of course sauteed vegees. It was good even though my good wife had some misgivings.
Then went on a tour of Twentynine Palms to take photos of approx 22 murals, as this is supposed to be the "Oasis of Murals" in California. Denice got good shots af all 22 I think. Now, the photos probably do not do them justis, as each one is on a wall, some of them up to 80 to 100 feet long.
Then went hunting for a good grocery store as were were getting down on supplies. Drove up and down all streets with no success. Lots of businesses, but no groceries.
So we headed down the road to Yucca Valley and found a really good "Stater Bros." store. Quality was good and prices reasonable.
While at the counter, running the stuff through Denice asked why there is no stores in Twentynine Palms? The clerk said there is, a Stater Bros, the same as here and also a Country Ranch Market. Guess we were not very observant on our search. Anyway, filled the cart, and returned to ELTORO, but on the way, guess what? There was both the Staters and Country Market right on highway 62!!! Boy are we blind or what? Unloaded, and packed away all our stuff. Had a shrimp cocktail from our supplies for lunch, and then Denice went and did some more of a very large wash that had been building up. I guess we were about to start buying new clothes, if we hadn't found a laundermat. BAR-B-QUE'd ribs for supper, with potatoe salad and Garlic Toast. A few clouds tonight so thought could be a good sunset, but it kind of fizzled out.
