The Anselmo’s adventure continues
December 9, 2009 by: adminBy Judy La Russa
Reverge and Ramona “Chicken” Anselmo, owners of Seven Hills Land and Cattle Company and Anselmo Winery located in Inwood, left on Thursday, Nov. 19 (a day early because of a big storm coming in on flight day) for a six-week adventure in their Huey helicopter.
Chicken has been sending us, almost daily reports and photos about where the are and what they are doing on their trip. We have been posting them to our website www.EastValleyTimes.com, where anyone can follow along. Just click on the photo of the helicopter that says Anselmo’s Huey Flight Adventure. Chicken also sent us a link to a YouTube video of a B-26 Bomber that Reverge purchased that you can find on our website.
The couple has so far been to Sedona, Arizona; Santa Fe and Roswell, New Mexico; Lubbock (where the stayed with Chicken’s family for Thanksgiving) and Dallas, Texas; Natchez, Mississippi (where they had one adventure after another); and Savannah, Georgia.
The last post we received from Chicken (Monday), they were suppose to land at Quantico Marine Corp Base in Virginia but couldn’t land there due to a posted ” High Alert Risk Day”. They land at Strafford Airport in Virginia and are staying at the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington D.C. across the street from the White House.
To read more details about these locations go to the Anselmo blog on this website. ANSELMO’S TRAVEL JOURNAL
Fr: Stan Sutter [best2@frontiernet.net] Sounds like you are having a great time. We have missed seeing you fly over and now we know why. Happy New Year!

I’ve never read a blog before, but I had called you at the 474 number, and asked how to spell Anselmo, ’cause the ad on KQMS wasn’t quite clear. Went to your site and clicked on the trip, and read most of it. Laughed at the tamales and your sensitivity to the maker’s feelings by throwing them in the garbage and also at the “poo” comment!! Hilarious!
Anyway…(part 2) my husband is a pilot. We are partners with Don and Julie Ostendorf (officer Don in the DARE program a few years ago). All are pilots, but not me. We’ve had such a ball in our cessna 182. I know how thrilled you were in your travels. We’ve only traveled in Calif and Oregon. James is a fair weather flyer, and hates fog or low clouds.
(part 3) thanks for all the neat pictures and blog of the trip back east. Would like to come by up there, whenever I can plant the idea in James head. God bless your place and trips!
