We got ourselves ready and left Plomosa Rd around 1200 or so Saturday morning heading 90 miles or so to Yuma, AZ. We stopped at La Posa LTVA and paid $40.00 for a 2 week pass. We won't be in the area that long, but there are dumpsters and dump stations. Can't beat the price.
We found a Wells Fargo bank and got some cash. Next time we'll do that before we leave home. LOL. Then it was on to the Howling at the Moon site. Actually very easy to find, so that was nice.
We pulled in and found a place to park. There were some RVs already here so we had a general idea of what was RV parking. We parked and then walked to the venue area and found Lola selling shirts and hoodies. She is quite the talker and we enjoyed chatting with her and others. We paid our $20.00 for 2 nights and headed back to camp. Ken had a headache, took some pills and I made a late lunch for us. Could be I'm starving the guy?! LOL He rested for a bit and felt better then.
The temps were awesome so we went outside and enjoyed the rest of the day.
Around 1730 or so we saw people heading over to an area. Then we heard, there it is! Probably around 10 people or so started howling! It was too cute.
Sunday morning around 1130 or so got a text from Jim and Barb, then waved then in close to our site. We've never met in person, but conversation just flowed! Around 1300 or so Jerry and Elva pulled in as they wanted to meet Jim and Barb too. Nearing 1500 we took our chairs and headed over to the big event. We enjoyed ourselves people watching, listening to music and just enjoying each other.

Around 1900 we headed back to camp and Ken lit the little red campfire. More conversation for an hour or so and then we all said good night.

| The biggest night ever over 5000 howlers! It was fun, but off the bucket list |
Monday morning we knew Jim and Barb were leaving early as he had a dentist appointment in Mexico. We talked some more and then hugs were exchanged and we waved good bye. We really enjoyed the short time with them as we've been following their blog for years and always wanted to meet. I'm sure we'll all see each other again!
Once we got packed up we headed over to Imperial Dam where we met up with Dave and Debbie. We've known Dave since high school. We visited and enjoyed that time too! We spent one night there and headed over to Ogilby Road to find some more of our friends. Jerry and Elva were here when we arrived visiting with group. They left later in the day to head back to Wellton.
We stayed two nights here and headed out this morning. It's been a nice relaxing time, just visiting with friends. 💖 Last night we had a roaring fire next to Doug's rig, The White Lion. Hugs all around in the howling wind this morning.

| Thank you Eric and Christina! 💙 |

| A great fire last night! 😁 |
We left our friends and headed for NextCare an urgent care facility in Yuma. Ken has had a problem with a boil/lesion on his lower back for over 6 days now. It leaks but gets bigger with swelling moving across his back and over towards his chest. Today was the day to get that taken care of. Doctor came in and said right away he's going to drain it. Won't give you the gory details, but it was! 🤮😱Bandaged it up and then gave him a shot and an appointment tomorrow to redress it and another shot. CVS had the prescriptions but wouldn't be ready for a while.
Since we were pulling the trailer we headed to Pilot Knob LTVA a little west of Yuma. Dropped it, had some food and back to Yuma. CVS had two of the three prescriptions, so we'll hope for the antibiotic tomorrow.
After watching the procedure, Ken may not be feeling much pain right now, but he will be! Just glad there wasn't more involved.
After his appointment at 0940 we'll do laundry and then head for Imperial Dam to see Dave and Debbie again.
For some reason I didn't take many pictures, but hope to get some of friends down the road.
Happy Hour with the hubby in our Mansion! Have a wonderful evening 🍷🍺
So great meeting you guys! You should have taken me up on my offer to lance that bad boy on Ken's back. A sharp knife then pour some whiskey on it and he'd been good to go!
ReplyDeleteOMG...Jim's comment. That's so Jerry except Jerry would have added...rub some dirt on it! If you need anything please let us know.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by our camp for a couple of days. It was relaxing and enjoyable. Sure hope that's the end of that sore on Ken's back. I think the ER was the better choice over Jim's offer 😀 Hope to see you two again in Quartzsite.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Jim yet, but i agree with Doug on taking Ken to the doctor!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice trip, seeing so many friends. How you'll be back this way with the gang again.
Yeah I think this group could have fixed Ken right up with a little slicing and dicing. Better to let him drink the whiskey than pour it on the problem! Hope he feels better VERY soon!!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see you and Ken again. Hopefully this clears up Ken’s problem. Although I think Jim may have been on to something with the whiskey, it would have helped clear the infection, I think the Urgent Care may have been the wiser choice. While we may be in the west, it is no longer wild and doctorless. Lol.

While Jim did have an interesting solution I have to agree with the others the ER probably was a better choice. Though whiskey on the inside might be a solution. Hope Ken is feeling 100% better when you read this. It was wonderful having you two spend a couple of nights here. Hoping to see you again before you head down the road. Hugs.
