Notes: A pretty fabulous Thanksgiving any which way you look at it. I turned out of the Tombstone shoot and stayed home and fed for Crandall's. Cheri and Blair Philippi invited me to their place for turkey dinner. They are my nearest neighbors to the southwest. 


Holly Conti was down from Oklahoma for a visit and her and Dan P. joined us for a great smoked turkey dinner. I made an attempt at my first pie cooked in an RV propane oven. I figured it would need all the help it could get so I threw in a couple shots of fireball and tossed it in the oven. It turned out


great. 

After dinner we saddled up and took Holly and Dan on a tour of the state land behind our places. We took them around Burro Canyon and up the ridge to Blair's monument. Blair built the monument out of rock from atop the hill. I'm not sure what it's a monument too...but it's pretty cool. I added a couple rocks to the top and held my breath it didn't topple the thing over. 

One of the best Turkey Day's ever.
