      Another interesting sunrise to begin yet another warm day. A nice walkabout on a mild morning, then at 9 am Suzie had the laundry sorted so I took it to the laundry mat here in the park. Now have my shorts on to enjoy this nice warm weather.
         Laundry folded and home by 10:30 Suzie put it away, time for a light tasty lunch and before noon a wonderful 75 F . yup this is the spring weather we have been patiently waiting for.
love these amazing sunrises here in the desert
     Then a bit later checked our tire  pressures, stored our Weber Q. topped up our fresh water and drained our sewage tanks, ready to hit the road in the morning. Been here 2 weeks got the hitch itch again so moving slowly down the road in search of more warm weather and sunshine. Gotta be home in 43 days and don't want to rush.
    Enjoying some afternoon reading in the shade with only a slight breeze was perfect.
more interesting fallen down homes here in the desert
if we only kew about their history           
     An afternoon drive and did find some desert wildflowers around the area.

      Back home to enjoy our page turners for a while no intense sun but still comfortable at 78 F. In the shade.
          Shortly after 3 pm Ron joined us for Happy Hour, with a NEW CHAIR, they went shopping at Walmart to today for a replacement,. a nice reclining chair for about 15 bucks.
Ron's new chair
and it ,reclines nicley
     We flapped out gums for a while , exchanged tips and information as we always do. then soon time to whip up supper.
      Tonight a nice treat some muscles  in Tomato Garlic butter sauce . A quick and easy meal to add to our salad.
these were very tasty
this sure hit the spot another treat for us
       No visible sunset tonight so no picture. Posting this blog outside at 6:45 pm still 67F and no wind. not too shabby at all.
       But this is done we enjoyed a wonderful day. Gonna call it a night and head inside to watch the tube for  a bit and call it a night.
       In the morning we heading on down the road, to enjoy another wonderful desert spot we enjoy.
      Thanks for dropping on by and hope y'all had a great day as well.

       Starting with another wonderful desert sunrise today and a couple of walkabouts gonna be another nice sunny day. Not much on the agenda just enjoying the warmer weather. Chat with a few people outside and before we knew it was time for lunch.
another wonderful sunrise
    We enjoyed a light lunch then I cruised around the area for a bit and enjoyed reading in the afternoon sun.
     Down the south frontage road here for some new scenery ,
passed by a few washes that have been plowed out
after the rains
        And found this giraffe the was just hanging out.
nice to see this wildlife here
the Mexican wall in the distance over the dunes in the distance
another wash down the road
      Then I spotted this derelict  homestead that has been turned to rubble.
think someone may have lived here at one time
now a pile of garbage
        Got a message this morning from Rene and Jennette we have known for many years. Met them many years ago when we camped in Desert Hot Springs California. He used to blog but finally stopped a few years ago. They are in the Foothills here in Yuma and wondered if they could drop by for a visit. Heck Yeah it has been a couple of years since we have seen them. They are from British Columbia Canada. Their Harley was itching to get out again with this warmer weather.
they arrived shortly after 1 pm and so nice to see them again
Suzie, Rene and Jennette
     What a wonderful visit we had catching up after a couple of years, So glad that they found us an dropped on by. Shortly after 3 pm was time for them to head on home, so they hopped on the bike and I am assuming back to their park in the foothills. They did meet Kim and Ken when they arrived for happy hour shortly after 3pm.
Thanks for stopping on by and safe travels , hope to see you again
soon in our travels
      Right after they headed out we enjoyed a  fun happy hour with Kim and Ken soon they will be heading on out of here and so will we.
always fun to share stories and tips with these guys
     They headed out and time to whip up supper. As the sun was getting to give us a nice sunset .
and a nice sunset we got
     A boneless skinless chicken breast on our grill mat and the rest of our fresh asparagus to go with our salad.
not too long on our grill mat
ok this sure did the trick tonight

        Update from last night

      Last night we went to the clubhouse shortly after 6 pm to watch and listen to the Karaoke here. Always an enjoyable evening of mostly wonderful singers. Most of the night was run by Barb and she sang a few great songs. And a Real bonus she gifted us with 2 of her CD's she had recorded Wow thanks Barb we sure will cherish them, Listened to some of the songs this morning already.
Barb is very good

Wow what a wonderful warm sunny day, the reason we are here.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       Wow what happened, I slept in! This is a rare occasion for me, got up at 6 am, 2 hours later than I usually do most days. At this time it was 38F outside and no wind gonna be an awesome day.
        Did not get outside to see the sunrise but could view from inside and with these clear blue sunny skies I headed out for my first walkabout at 8 am. And my first mile of the day. Now this is the kind of weather we enjoy here and going to get warmer as the days progress.

         After a tasty light lunch another walkabout and a drive around the desert here for a bit. Checked out the LTVA area behind us to see if I could locate our friends Jean and Skip. They told us where they were but did not find them on previous lookabouts. I finally did locate them stopped to exchange phone numbers something we have never done, now at least we can contact each other.
this area eight behind our campground
finally found them right here
love wandering around the desert here

they drag the tires around the desert to cover tracks
sign by the Chevron down the road
a dump station here very reasonable 
      Then enjoy reading here for a while on a beautiful warm sunny day, 72F and much warmer in the sun. A pretty perfect day in our books. Is so wonderfully warm I had to put my shorts and sandals on . Oh yeah this is the weather we have been waiting for and next to no wind at all. And because of this great weather time for my hair cut, Clippers out and did it all then Suzie my professional barber here cleaned it up so I look almost presentable.
      Happy hour evolved , Kim and Ken came by to enjoy this amazing  weather the Ron cam by to join us, Conversation flowed all over the place and we had a fun time.
Ron's Chair
yes we had fun
        Supper tonight a quick and easy tasty meal BBQ's turkey burgers on English muffins,  hit the spot then we can got to the clubhouse for a bit at 6 pm to enjoy some Karaoke singers. No we don't sing, can't hold a tune.
burgers about done
what a great meal we enjoyed just enough for today
       Soon to the clubhouse to enjoy the entertainment and home later on.
       I will probably take a few pictures  tonight but will post them tomorrow.
       Now we sure enjoyed this amazing weather that we have been waiting for . Hope you had a great day wherever  you are.
