This is a very small mining operation on private land, maybe a single family effort? It is on the edge of the Mohave Desert National Monument but still well in the desert itself. We are several miles off the main highway on a dusty and deeply potholed sort-of-paved road. I cannot imagine what day to day life is like in this area. But I was living here I would guess each day would be like a bad April Fools day prank. Surely this is not my home.
Update: as of 4:00 Thursday the thermostat had not arrived but they were tracking it and still thought it would arrive by close of business. Then it would be installed Friday and tested through the day. We do not yet know if we will leave on Sunday but still hope to do so. I may not update the travel plans until the Monday post.
