Now In Pilot Knob, AZ/CA border

Left Tucson Boo Hoo on the 11th March and came over here to Yuma area, campsite on the border right between AZ/CA. Pilot Knob.

Yesterday we went to Mexico and both of us got glasses, and Di had her teeth cleaned, and we ate there, and queued for the re entry back to USA, no problem.

While in Mexico we heard from 2 sets of friends in the Yuma area that we could meet up with them. In the afternoon after Mexico we visited Linda and Keith Daniels in their pretty new home in Yuma foothills. We had a super dinner with them, and they toured us around their area, such a neat idea those lots where you can park 2 RVs, and live there throughout the winter, in the warm Yuma sunshine.

Linda and Keith bought their new home last year, and it's very very nice. Their big dog Misty is still with them, and spry and attentive too. They leave soon for the Grand Canyon, Keith hopes to hike down into it for a big birthday he's having.

Today we're a bit lazier, staying in the campsite this AM, catching up on emails, and this afternoon Monique and Gary Coy invited us over to see them at their park, Sun Vista, so they are having a party of some kind. Really looking forward to seeing them too.

Also this morning Jim Ramsbottom biked over to our site and had a bit of a visit, he's Bernice and Gordie Elderkin's nephew from Comox, so we caught up with his news. He had also had some dental work done down in Mexico.

The roadsides here are very pretty, looks as if desert verbena is blooming at the moment, and the fields are rolling a soft hazy purple, it's gorgeous. Also pretty roadside plants in yellows, and we noted that the ocotillo is also blooming here, they have had about 3 major rains here in the Yuma area, according to Linda D.

Tomorrow we leave here and go to Desert Hot Springs once again, for about another month or so.
