living up here in pnw i dont get too many date shakes. had fond memories of the date shakes at hadley's outside of palm springs - but on a visit there 2 yrs ago, it was not the same as my memory, and hadleys had morphed into a giant store - and they were making shakes with 5 gal ingredient tubs....

The "Ecosystem Engineer" we came upon in Part One was the more common western diamondback.

Woke up this morning at Burro Creek Campground. Wait, that sounds like I was surprised to find my self here, when in fact I’ve spent the last few days driving here from Oregon. What a sweet little campground!! I’m sitting at my picnic table just feeling delighted that I’m no longer freezing (cold, cold, cold across Oregon and Nevada). Later this afternoon I’ll fetch my spouse from the airport in Phoenix then on to explore southern Arizona. Thanks for the toss about Burro Creek.

Travel safe and have lots of fun! For future reference, continue on the road past the campground entrance and you'll find a few dispersed campsites. The road into the campground is the old road prior to building that huge bridge (8th highest in Arizona) on highway 95.
