    Hello Eric, we visited “The Thing” a few weeks ago on our way to Tucson and Yuma. Would have been nice to run into you there. We have passed by that campground many times and just like you thought it was just a boon-docking area. Thanks for sharing because now we know and will definitely use it as a stopover on our way through next time. Safe travels and enjoy your time with your mom.

    With all of the vehicles in there, I was kind of expecting the end result to be a Volkswagen Thing parked in there😉
    It still would have been worth the $5.00 bucks🙂
    That was lots of fun👍🙂
    Have a Happy Easter Eric🐰✌️

    Wow. Pretty neat video Eric. Say, I wonder where I can get some of that bud the writers were smoking when they dreamt up the Alien/Dinosaur connection. I really never gave that connection a thought. However, I do believe in other beings. We are not alone.......And, I especially liked the man-made Dino bones complete with ET etchings.
