Where are we today ?
What a great nights sleep we had and taking our time this morning before we hit the road. Got my one mile walkabout done by 8 am. Packed up a few things while Suzie had her shower, Our friends John and Barb were on their way to the Yuma area and did our "see ya laters".
We secured the coach then to the dump station, and refill our fresh water, into town top up or propane and fuel tank. Picked up Suzie hooked up the car and had lunch at 11:30 am.
Now heading on down the road only 71 miles to go so no rush.

| gas $1.82 a gallon |
Used only 13 gallons of gas for our genny in the last month and $8.00 propane for the last week not to bad at all!
 |
| on the road again |
Turned right at the Yuma proving grounds heading into Imperial Dam LTVA.
Got here shortly after 1 o'clock. and found a nice spot. But no cell phone service, disconnect the car and cruised around for a while. Eventually we went to Quail hill and got pretty decent reception here. And an amazing campsite to boot ! Nobody close to us and an excellent view as well. really hard to beat this!

DeleteBeautiful spot and an interesting journey by the looks of the pics. I do enjoy seeing your travels whilst I commute to London. Such a different world.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very different world, this is the wild west just tamed a bit.
Deleteyep looks like you scored a great little spot... too bad you have to share it with a couple of asses ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL... they seem to be pretty friendly neighbors.
DeleteWe have never stopped at Quail hill. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteOur those dumpster guards or dumpster divers...lol
Not sure but the lids were still closed on the dumpsters.
DeleteGreat spot you got there! Ahhh....no noise!
ReplyDeleteYeah so wonderful, gotta love it.
DeleteWe enjoyed the Imperial Dam area. Lots to see and lots of hiking there. We had some burros greeting us at our spot last year. They really are cute.

ReplyDeleteKind of days we enjoy too love it here.
DeleteLove that spot, George. Looks fabulous. Worth seeking out the next time we are south, although who knows if we would be that lucky.
ReplyDeleteYa never know here in the desert.
DeleteI think you definitely have an uncrowded spot. For some reason gas out that way always appears to be higher - reg is $1.59 here.
ReplyDeleteLove it here, we find the gas prices vary all over California over $3.00 a gallon.
DeleteI'm a bit behind in reading and responding, busy days here as you know. Love the spot you snagged, George, it looks so peaceful!
