Fun in the desert

We have been dry camping in the desert outside Yuma Arizona since Monday.  There is a group of about 15 rigs. We have had pot luck dinners, gone to DaBoyz (An Italian place in Yuma). Yesterday we went to what we call an oasis in the desert…natural hot springs.  First picture is a hot shower.  Second is a cement pool about 5 ft deep and about 120 degrees.  To hot for me.  Third picture is the smaller pool, 3 ft deep and about 95 degrees.

It was a fun outing and we all got clean since when we dry camp we are conserving water to try to stay 7 days without moving. 



Today we ventured into Mexico.  We parked in the US and walked across the border.  A lot of people from the Yuma area go into Mexico for eyeglasses and dental work.  Everywhere you look there are dentists offices and optical stores.  Of course, they also have the normal hawkers of jewelry, leather and pottery.

The weather here has been wonderful. It’s been in the mid 80’s until last night.  The wind came up and today it has cooled to about 75.  Hopefully, the wind will die down so that we can get enjoy the company. Everyone will be going in different directions come Sunday.
