new photos to post soon, but update, two nights ago , our main tents were fully destroyed by 70 mile an hour gusts of wind...

 ...for the record, I hate this desert now...

I will post pics of the destruction and our version of build back better, thanks to my sister from another mister, Cheryll J., and her awesome hubby, Mark! Between Them and my besties for life, Elaine F. and Phil V., we have supplies again, and a new yurt-style tent that we were able to supplement payments for with my oldest sons' pay and our income tax returns... 

The Yurt Life at least feels less like Hell in the desert... it's almost like a tiny home!

We still need a few more things to make life almost human levels for all of us, not to mention new jobs..., and to not continue to be aggressively approached weekly by Forest Ranger cops, but other than that... at least I have found a small light at the end of this tunnel now, a moment of peace.

(The image below is NOT our bell-tent, but something very similar)
