Missing our Bus friends

Wow, what a busy year! Christi & I were sitting here and going over our last year and what kept coming up was missed Bus rallies like The Q at Smith Ranch, The GM rallies at Larry & Carol Hall's place and around Tucson, St. George Utah and others. We had so much fun with you guys. Over the summer in Dixon, Missouri we had visits Bob of the North, Melbo & Billie, Doug Olson to name a few that made us miss our Bus frinds even more. So Christi & I want to say Happy Holidays to you and yours, be safe and we hope to see soon.
All the Best, Michael & Christi Hargis

New home of The Michael Hargis Show

Next year will see some big changes in our lives, I have accepted a job managing and starring in/at the new Missouri Festival Park in Dixon, Mo. It will be the new home of The Michael Hargis Show. Christi will stay here and run this resort while we get the new park up and running as our son wants to finish his schooling here in St. George. I will be flying in and out to see them. I will be moving out there on the 18th of March 2012. All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

Well I fired up Mrs. Jones today just to move her to a new resting place. She sounds so good. She wispered " lets go ". I backed her in and shut her down. I miss the road! All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, what to do with Mrs. Jones?

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, what to do with Mrs. Jones? We moved out of Mrs. Jones! No, not because she is broke and not because we don't like her anymore. We needed more room. Our son Jared is 13 years old and growing. When we converted the bus we designed the floor plan for two. Jared was going to live with his father in Ca. and finish school. Christi and I hit the road touring the west. now a short time after Jared came back with us and we found ourselves living in a Bus built for two! So we tried a house for 6 months but hated it. We weighed all our options. The Bus had to be remolded before we could use it for the three of us, so we bought a 5th wheel (RV) and moved into it. It is a 33 ft. with three slides. Wow, we have a lot of room now and we love the lay out. Jared has about four years of school left before he goes off to collage and we will live in the 5th wheel until he goes off to concur the world. So here we are "Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, what to do with Mrs. Jones?" Now we are back to looking at all our options again. We, Christi and I, talk about remodeling her with slides, new bedroom, up scale counter tops, you know, all the dreams we all have and think a bus should be. Then we think we should look for a factory built bus and avoid all the work, but that would mean selling Mrs. Jones! And for what, 18 - 20 grand in today's market? Any Bus Nut need a Bus? We really don't know what to do, but we do have time. "I can't find my watch! Honey, What time is it?" All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

ALOHA Papa Bus

Its hard to believe its been a year since we saw Papa Bus. Now when I say Papa Bus I mean Papa and Donna Morgan. We got to spend some quality time with them and Bob, "Bob Of The North" and his wife Marilyn in Quartzsite, AZ last year at the "Q" Bus Rally. Sometimes when you 1st meet someone, you just know you will be friends for life and thats how we felt then and even more so now. About a month ago Christi got a call from Papa Bus that they were heading south from their home in Canada for their yearly vacation to the states. Christi told them that they must be our guests here in St. George, Utah. Papa called me from Az for directions and said they would be here on Thursday. A week ago, Thursday morning, I got a call from a Mark Morgan stating that they were in Lost Wages and they lost the directions to our resort. At this point I had no idea who Mark was and gave him directions like any other guest looking to stay at our resort. Then he said something about the bus running great or making good time in the bus and I realized it was "PAPA BUS". I got off the phone and told Christi they would be here in 3 or so hours. I have to admit I was excited! you know, to see the Bus. That afternoon the roar of a Detroit Diesel came in the drive. Christi said " Papa Bus is here!" I ran out to greet them like a little kid going to the candy store. It was so good to see them. I think Papa was a little taken back when I gave him a Big Hug. Then Donna got one. We had a great visit. We invited them over our house for dinner, we ate in town twice, had coffee and talked every chance we got. I wish Donna was not so hard on our car door handles. She tore one right off the door, handed it to me and said " This handle is Defective!". So I told her from now on I would open the car doors for her as if she were the Queen herself. Papa Bus only stayed for 3 days, Way to short if you ask me! They stopped for coffee and goodbyes on their way north. We talked about next years visit and of putting together a "After Q Rally" here in St. George. Sad to see them go. Its hard to believe its been a year since we saw Papa Bus.

ALOHA Papa Bus, until next year my friends, we will miss you.

All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

The path

My wife Christi wanted to go hiking last week and I wanted to go scouting. She set the time, I set the the place. The was a trail I had spied from the ridge behind the resort that we climbed last week. The trail started in the resort an headed north thru a moble home park and then into the high desert. The total walk was about 3 miles long looping back to our resort enterance.Someone had done a lot of work to this trail, it was lined with stones the entire way. The path followed up a small stream that flowed thru both parks. This stream has been around a long, long time. As we hike up this water way we can see it has cut it's way thru the bedrock to form a 50 to 100 foot deep and 20 to 40 wide canyon aprox. 1 mile long hidden from view. One would never know it was here if you didn't follow the trail. Our hike was at a pretty quick pace, we were on our lunch hour, so we didn't have time to investagate anything in the canyon. I did see a few places I will come back to look at more closely. Most of all two spots peek my interest. #1 was within the narrowest, deepest place in the canyon I found some shallow caves carved by water and time with one that has a crude stone knee wall built at its enterance forming a small dwelling aprox. 6'x8'. The floor looked to be worn. I was a little stunned to find this type of dwelling here fore there are no listings of stone/cliff dwellings in this area. I will go back and get some photos this week.#2 was a trash pile I found near the end of the trail on a side of a hill. Trash is mostly rusted tin cans and small clear and colored glass shards. Looking closer, the cans are found to be the older "Lead Sealed" cans mixed with "church key" tins, all tin oil cans and Pull Top beer cans. I seems to me this was a work camp site that was used many times over the years. It could have been for mining or highway construction or both. Again, I will get some pics later this week.

Scouting hunting sites #1 & 2

Yesterday I took some time to scout the hunting sites #1 & 2. Behind the resort is a tall volcanic ridge, aprox. 600ft high, that I climbed to get a lay of the land. What a great view and sorry, I did not bring a camerathis time but will the next. From this view point I could see 6 or 7 diff. old home sites in the valley, all on BLM land save 2. I now have a better idea of the lay out of Old Harrisburg.The rocks on top of the ridge are stained dark brown and looked like a good place to find petroglyphs fore I have seen some on rocks like these in AZ before. It didn't take long to find them. The petroglyphs range from very old to modern. I found horses and men walking that are very old along with 1800's one off a house or chest near one that said " HYRUM HARRIS MARCH 8 1898, and one rock that had newer names and dates etched on to it. I only explored the north end of the ridge cause I ran out of time. I told my wife Christi about it and she wants to go up the next time. We are planning to go back up there next week. Here are the pics of our return trip; All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

Where to Hunt 1st? Site #3

Of course I am going to list the sites I have permission to hunt as my perferred sites. As I look around this great area and I can see at least 10 promissing sites with in 5 miles But, I don't have permission to hunt them. Site #3 is in my own back yard. We have a house in Leeds, Utah that has 3/4 acers of trees, tilled ground and grass. We are right on Main st. Leeds is a small town just off the I-15 with a rich mining history. The old mining town of Silver Reef is only two miles away. Now our house was built in 1985 but Main street has been here since 1860. All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

Where to Hunt? Site #2

Site #2 is a pretty good one too. I found it on the North East corner of the resort. It is a larger area then site#1. It has a large lot that has been scraped for rv storage, a huge cottonwood tree that is found in all the old photos and a loose mosey stone wall that is the old property line. Also a trail that leads to the lake next door. I get a good feeling about this site. I dosen't look like it has been hunted before. I was thinking that I could this site for a meet in the future. All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/

Where to Hunt 1st? Site #1

As I get my gear together I think to myself, "Where to Hunt 1st?" As I stated in the 1st post, I have a lot to choose from around here. So I will go over them.The one that calls to me is the old Mormon rock house sitting on the hill within our property lines. It is just a shell now. No roof or floors. There is an old dead tree only 15 paces from the bldg on one side and a stump on the other side. I look at the site and can picture the ol' timer sitting on the ground under the tree and coins falling from his pockets. LOL. Hey it could happen and has! kids playing while mom heads down to the stream with the wash. I have learned over the years to think of these different scenarios when looking at a site. If you go over what could have been, you may discover what was. It works for me. All the Best, Michael & Christi See our other Blog;http://michaelhargisshow.blogspot.com/
