Move to Yuma, Arizona

We left Bakersfield on Tuesday morning and made a stop in Sylmar, California for new house batteries. The batteries we had were the original and they really weren't holding a good charge anymore. With the boondocking (camping without hockups)we will be doing in Quartzsite later in January, we wanted to make sure we had good batteries. Son in law, Jason, used to work for Battery Power in Sylmar so he called ahead for us and got us a good deal. Thanks, Jason!

After that chore was completed, we moved on and stopped for the night at Casino Morongo just before Palm Springs in California. New batteries worked great!! Yesterday we left Casino Morongo and drove the rest of the way to Yuma. Last night we stayed at the Escapee park here in Yuma. They were full so we ended up in the boondock area for the night. We were talking with the people next to us and realized that we had also met them when we were at "The Ranch" escapee park in Lakewood, NM. Enjoyed visiting with them again. That's what this lifestyle is about!

We moved this morning to the Yuma Lakes RV park. It's also part of the Colorado River Adventures group of campgrounds which we belong to. We will be here until the 15th of January, then we will move to Quartzsite and join the others who are part of our fulltime class of 2008.

Looking forward to exploring this area. Will post pictures along the way.

Happy Birthday to my son Terry who turns 35 years old today. He is getting older and I seem to be getting younger!! Ha!!
