Gila Bend to Yuma AZ

We stayed over in Gila Bend to see Mexican Connection friends Roger (Spook) and Brenda & Pete and Sherry. They swooped in with the winds bringing the sunshine with them. They have been traveling through Mexico for many week because they love it and checking out places for next years Mex Conn Rally. Understandably they were happy to have an American home cooked meal at our house. For the first time we had the opportunity to pull our our desk/table to serve 6! Good friendship and talking for at least 3 hours.

As everyone was leaving we checked the cloudy skies once more and saw the very last part of the eclipse. They are always so fascinating to watch.

The 4 were up and headed for Yuma by 9:00am so we got ready and left a couple hours later. The landscape continued to amaze us with the green desert floor.

Arriving in Yuma we were treated to the companionship of man and his dog. The dog was sitting in his own boxed in seat, harnessed with a seatbelt and following the law wears a leather hat, completing the outfit with sun glasses to protect his eyes. Dog acts as the "back seat driver" continually looking from left to right watching traffic. Isn't this just great!

We are camped at the Elks club in Yuma, boondocking for a few days. Had "happy hour" with friends Judy and Bobby last night. Had been hoping to go gem mining but the closest is half way back to Quartzite and a walk in mine, which I have never done and am not willing to do now. Guess Judy and I will simply have to settle for shopping at the world famous Yuma outdoor style flea market. Ya'll have a great day too.
