                                     Happy 17th Birthday Mason! 💙

Still my favorite picture of Mason when he was young💙 

Tuesday afternoon we headed into Downtown Yuma for a bit to play tourist 😄 It's a cute little downtown area, but there was certainly alot of empty store fronts. 😒 

We did find a nice antique store and enjoyed looking around that.  We did find a kerosene lantern that we bought, I'm sure we had one just like it when we lived in Colfax. It'll look cute in the bunkhouse. 

Eventually we headed for Prison Hill Brewery right in the heart of downtown. We had been there once not too long after they opened. Ken enjoyed a beer and I had a glass of wine. Then across the street to Pint House. After that it was time to head back to the motel and get an early dinner at Daybreakers. It's convenient as it's pretty much across the street from the motel.

Elva, is this where you first met Jerry?💖

Different than Prison Hill and a little more $$. 

Wednesday morning after breakfast Ken headed over to check on the Mansion. The mechanic said "It's almost done".  He came back to the motel and picked me up. 

The winds and dust were whipping!!

By the time we got there it had been moved to the back area so yes it was done. Took a little while to get the bill as they are so busy but we got it, and paid the $1900.00.  Hopefully we can get it reimbursed! The propane line was still broken so I called Pilot Knob to see if we could reserve a spot for a few days. Mike was very nice and helpful so we headed for Pilot Knob RV Resort just over the California border. 

We got checked in and Ken got a referral for a mobile rv business. He made a call to Tenway RV Service and spoke with Keith who said he'd be out on Thursday around 1200 to 1230. 

It was so cold and windy here we just stayed inside once we got settled. Enjoyed our evening watching tv and having our little happy hour. 

Thursday morning we set the alarm for 0500 so we could go into Yuma for breakfast and a few groceries to replace what we lost since going without propane. Luckily most of the food survived the ice chest. 

WE also needed a new electric heater. We have one at home, but...LOL. These nights are cold here in this area this year. 

           Cute, with the ambience of a fireplace and puts out good heat!

Keith and Fritz showed at 1200 hours and spent a good hour working on replacing the propane hose! Total bill $215.00 for parts and labor. They worked hard and did an awesome job! WE definitely would recommend Tenway RV Service 928 955 9976 if your are in this area. They told Ken they worked on RVs in Indiana. Over 55 years experience between the two of them! Came here to work on "The Wall" until Biden shut it down. Figured they needed to do something so started this business about a year ago. Great guys and highly recommend them! 

After they left we took a little drive by the BLM behind us..people but not as much as in prior years! 

Fixer Upper for sale! There were a couple in the same area...

We came back to camp and since there was sunshine in between the sites we were able to sit in the sun for an hour and a half or so. As the sun dipped behind the trees we came inside. 

Tomorrow we will move to the BLM behind the campground and hopefully go visit our friends Tom and Deb for the afternoon. We'll have 1 or 2 days here and then move on as we've been in this area for a week. 

Turkey burgers and oven baked french fries are what's on the menu for dinner. Have a great one, time for  Happy Hour! 💕🍷🍺
