Heading further west to California, and meeting up with good friends. Rock Glen California reunion.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
         This morning was starting with a nice sunrise slowly, lighting the skies and giving some wonderful colors. No real rush to day, just puttered around for a bit after my first mile walked, Then we secure the coach, Went to the dump station, hooked up the car, pulled out at 8:30 am and headed on out to our next destination towards Yuma.
6:30 this morning gonna be an excellent day
        I just kept walking, enjoying the quiet morning and enjoying the sunrise as its quickly unfolded .
then we got this, amazing!
     By 8;30 we were on 85 north to Gila Bend to pick up I-8 west towards Yuma.
a nice drive north on 85
        Then heading west on I-8 as we have done many times in the past, passing this amazing field of solar mirrors. So much power generated here.
heading to the mountain pass then
 the foothills in Yuma on the other side
          Moving right along, stopped at the Pilot/Flying J to fuel our coach exit 12.  Gas was only $2'44 a gallon another good price.
      Just past Yuma and across the California state line we pulled into Pilot Knob Resort, another membership park we really enjoy. Now here for 2 weeks. on a wonderful corner site. With out AOR membership only $14.00 a night FHUs.
this be the place we will be
     We checked in and got a nice corner site close to our friends from Ontario, All of us members of Rock Glen Resort in Ontario where we all met years ago. Saw Ron when we checked in then pulled onto our site, Welcomed by our friends.
LR: Rob, Pat, Patsy, Bill, Suzie and Clemson

Doggie fix for Suzie hugging Clemson
       A bit later we got all set up on our corner site, But heck where did the warm sunshine go?  This is California only 65F and overcast. Oh, well not cold and no snow we can live with this and it will get better.
a nice site we have always enjoyed here
    Rob came by and invited us to Happy hour inside at their trailer, 65 F and no sun, too cold for them outside !
    We had a fun time flapping our gums, sharing stories, tips and comparing notes as we always do when we get together.
Patsy, Bill, Loree
Pat and Rob
Ron, Me and Suzie
         We had all decided to got to the clubhouse for dinner tonight only $5.00 each  a pretty good deal.
this be us
       For supper Suzie and I each got a chicken burger,  beans, chips and red velvet cake. And hey for the price was pretty good.

was tasty treat for a change with friends
lotsa laughs too
I caught Patsy digging in
Ron taking our picture
     Supper done and  a nice walk back home and even managed to catch a bit of this desert sunset .
look west into the sand dunes
        Now we home relaxing inside after a fun busy day. Sure nice to see our good friends again all in one place over Christmas.
        Thank ya'll for joining us today in our southwest desert that we love.

  1. Welcome to SoCal! You sure had a nice welcoming group of friends to greet you! There's rain predicted on the coast, fingers crossed that we get a lot of it!, but trust you'll have some of those SoCal sunny days to enjoy.

  4. I like that you can have supper right at the campground, especially for 5 bucks - less than fast food.
