December 15–17, 2023 Yuma

After getting propane, paying our electric bill, and saying our “see you laters” we were off heading west.

Past the beautiful Saguaros:

 

Saguaros as far as the eye could see:

  

  

The beautiful mountains:

  

A place for when the cows come home:

Farm country:

Solar farm country too:

Since we have been coming this way, this solar farm has grown:

A new road in the valley:

Waiting for their cargo:

Spectacular!

Long trains:

We are going up and over the mountains:

  

Telegraph Hill:

Into the Yuma Valley:

Another border patrol check closed – Sad and scary:

This is “Fresh Express” farms:

And the canals that water those fields:

We arrived at Yuma Lakes and sad to find that the Redondo Section is closed this year – we loved it there.  Anyway, we did get a spot that backs up to the miniature golf area – very nice.

Once we set up, we were off to pick up a package at the Fed Ex drop-off in Walgreens.  From there we visited our lot at Kofa Ko-op to see if all is good.  It is! We will be there in January. 

Our last stop was the Moose Lodge for a calendar and supper.  Nice day.

Stats for today:

Miles Traveled:  171 Miles

Arizona:  Montgomery Road; I-8; Fortuna Road; US-95; South Laguna Dam Rd; East County 6th Street; South Avenue 8 1/2 Street

Saturday, 16th,  we went to the Yuma Marketplace.  There was a flea market on the other side of Yuma that has closed down.  Many of the vendors moved to the Yuma Marketplace.  It was nice to see many of the stalls filled.  Always a good place to find “stuff”.  LOL!  

From there we went to the American Veterans for lunch.  June and her husband have done so much for the veterans in the Yuma area.  It was nice to see that they are getting some help.  Great place!

Sunday, 17th, is a hang out day

We will be here until the 23/24, then spend the holidays with our friends in the California desert. So stay tuned and enjoy today.
