Quartzsite, south through Yuma to Winterhaven California, Pilot Knob Resort.

Where are we today ?

Pilot Knob Resort, Winterhaven California

       Today we can head on down the road. Overcast and a bit windy but a good day for travelling. So about 9:30 we headed on out. Just 92.5 miles mostly desert. We knew we were close to Yuma, irrigation, orange groves and fields of cauliflower, broccoli and newly planted crops.

Now in California

     Here we are Pilot Knob Resort full hookups for us no overnight fees except $3.00 for electricity part of our Membership park system. Even though we are in California they use Arizona time, so we don't need to reset our clocks. Almost all the shopping we do is in Yuma so may as well stay in that time zone, as is the shops in Los Algodones Mexico on Arizona time.

      Checked in and parked on our site by 11:30. Stopped over to see our friends John and Barb a couple sites away. We had discussed earlier going to Lin's for the Chinese Buffet that we so love  in Yuma. With Christmas coming we wanted to avoid the crowds and we were all craving it right now, so let's go for lunch NOW! 

Doggie fix for Suzie. piper and Hank

      So we did a quick 10 minute setup the coach, it is so easy to set up. We were on our way and at Lin's for 12:30. Perfect timing, they were busy but no lineups perfect! $8.80 each for us seniors still a good price. More expensive for supper and on the weekends.

this the place

     It's a buffet so you grab a plate and choose, so many choices too,  really hard but we did our best to sample lots just cause we like it all.

wings salad egg roll to start

hot snd sour soup I love

a little fresh made sushi I really enjoy too

salt and pepper shrimp, butterfly shrimp, fried fish,
baked salmon

some had desert

      I am not a dessert eater, so rice, ribs, mushrooms and a crawfish finished me off.

my desert

          That was our social hour or 2 chatting at the Chinese Buffet. Nice to do this early in the day so we can wear some of it off before bedtime tonight. Also great  to get together with friends again.

          Back home about 3 pm set up our satellite dish and a walkabout the resort, signed up for the Christmas dinner at 1 pm Christmas day. Take a dish to share and they provide the turkey, dressing , gravy and mashed taters only a $5.00 donation is not bad.

another nice large corner site looking west right beside the desert

lotsa room

     Just a bit more puttering, walking and reading. Put together this posting and enjoy the sunset right outside our kitchen window.

       No supper tonight not even a snack we did our limit at noon. Dark now so read a bit and maybe even watch a movie ?

nice desert sunset towards Imperial sand dunes

          Another very nice relaxing day and about as far south as we will get this winter, The temp today about 72f but a bit overcast and windy. The next few days a bit cooler but not unlike years in the past. Gotta remember this is the first day of winter the days will be getting longer now! Sure beats that brutal cold winter that they will get eventually back home. They have it pretty warm there right now , not much different than here. 

       Thanks for stopping by and if you around Pilot knob in The next 2 weeks drop by and say HI !
