Spent part of the day in Yuma..

Well, you can't say we don't know how to kill a day..first you don't get up until 0730.  Then you take your time people watching and getting ready..we then took the truck and trailer up to the dump station.  Ken got talking with a guy who's been here for 2 and 1/2 months from Washington State.  He gave Ken some pointers on what to do in Yuma and the fact that we can't leave this area without having a Date shake!  Apparently dates are grown here.  So we got the scoop and we'll be seeing most of what he suggested.  

On another note, he said he had talked with a neighbor who has been coming here for 20 years and has never seen this many people..looks like the baby boomer generation is alive and well!  

So it was close to noon by the time we got out of camp and headed to Yuma!  had  beautiful drive on highway 24S goes through all the fields and the Imperial Valley.  Reminds me of Yerington and our Mason Valley when the fields are being harvested.  Huge fields of lettuce, cauliflower and Palm trees..yes I said Palm Trees!  All over the place from baby to huge! Had no idea they grew them in this area!

By the time we got to town and drove through and around it was time to eat lunch.  So we found Chili's and a had a delicious lunch with leftovers for dinner.  
A visit to Sam's Club and then to find Walmart for shopping in a day or two. By the time we got back it was cocktail hour!  

The weather is much warmer and the winds have died down..it looks like we'll probably be staying here until Monday or Tuesday before we move on! I like it! 

This morning, (well we'll hope it's morning)..probably head to an area that has the name Dome in it..we're thinking it's a ghost town of some sort, but we'll see! Not too far from here anyway.  

Beautiful morning, can't wait to see what the day brings!
