2/20/12: Yesterday we took a little trip to Martinez Lake which is only about 40 miles north of Yuma. Mike and I rode the motorcycles, and Joe and Ellen drove their jeep. Lots of ATV's and dry campers in the area for the long weekend. We had to ride through the Yuma Proving Grounds (Army) with tank crossings - we didn't see any tanks.
We had lunch at Fisher Landing, and then headed home. It was a fun day.

2/3/12: We arrived in Yuma on Wednesday the 1st. It isn't what we expected at all. We're not staying in an RV park, but in a neighborhood in the foothills with lots that have homes, park models, or 2 to 4 RV's on them. People buy the lots and then rent them out to snow birds like us. It's a lovely area.

We are parked right next to our friends Joe and Ellen DeRose, who we knew from Las Vegas. We'll be here for the month of February, and maybe into early March. It's warm and sunny. Today Mike and Joe are golfing.
We are close to the mountains, and the sunrise and sunset is beautiful, with the shadows and highlights. It's what I miss from Las Vegas.
More later as we explore the area.
