We headed north on 95 about 10 miles to the sign that said Kofa Wilderness Refuge, Castle Dome..yep that's what we're looking for. Drove about 10 miles on a nice gravel road to the sign that said Museum. Ok we're here. We parked and walked up to this old building, saw some ladies coming out and they said to me "No purses or backpacks"..What?? So talked with them a minute, as she was wearing a sweatshirt that said Rio Linda. Turns out she's from Elverta and has a daughter that just moved from Cool. Small world huh?
Anyway, put the purse away and walked back up. A little old man says ok if you want to see the museum that'll be $10.00 a piece! Are you kidding me when this little tourist trap was nothing comparable to Bodie, CA and we already had a bad taste in our mouths about the no purse thing!! So we went back to the truck.

Down the road a few miles and we pulled over for one of our famous "White Trash Lunches".. Sat in the sun while the truck blocked the wind..Then into Yuma and Walmart. Found the Laundry and then back home late afternoon.

All in all not a very exciting day, but don't need one as it was a beautiful day!
Lots of wind overnight.. Love listening to it!
This morning, we will head into Yuma, do some laundry and then visit the Yuma Territorial Prison.
