After a great week at Lake Havasu its time to move on to our final destination for the next couple of months; Yuma. Our last evening at Lake Havasu and what a beautiful sunset. Hope the next campground is as nice.
Packing up and hitting the road went smoothly. We stopped for lunch just south of Quartzite. Not much there but you can see campers spread out all over the place from the road to the horizon. Apparently by January thousands of campers are spread all over the area. They park in the desert for free and come and go as they want. No rules; just respect your neighbours privacy. Sounds freeing and cheap! We went past that area and pulled over for lunch. I could almost see us camping right here; what a nice spot.
Carmen went over to meet one of the neighbours. The strong silent type I guess. The biggest challenge is going to get Carmen to walk about. She spends more time looking for snakes than looking around. I must admit, when you don't know the country visions of snakes, scorpions, Gila monsters and tarantulas abound. This part of the country is flat like a parking lot. You could just head across country until you find a spot you like. We'd rather have people around I think.
By the time we arrived, checked in and got set up, it was very close to that special Yuma time so we figured we'd take a picture of it. Looking closely, or going to a larger image, you should see that we were there at 3:10 Yuma time; cool huh!
After setting up with all the connections, levelling and such it was time to replenish the vital fluids. Brad brought me back a beer stein from Germany and I thought this was a perfect time to try it out. I'll have to use it again; I was so dry I kind of inhaled the brew and didn't give it time to breathe.
Carmen took this our first nite from in front of Harvey. Looks like a place we will enjoy.
You know we are all settled in when Carmen is having a coffee in the morning sun. We went to the large Yuma market yesterday and bought a sign for the front of Harvey. You'll have to enlarge to read it I suppose. Got Star Choice working last nite and found out some Canadian news. Didn't know till now that a coupe de tat was in progress in Ottawa. Whatever. We're citizens of the world now. Watched Montreal beat New York, that was what I brought satellite TV for! Now that we are here and settling in we may not update this blog unless we do some exploring or something interesting. We're not going to cover daily activities; BORING!
Stay tuned for further udates as warranted. Love you all.
