What a Difference a Day Makes

The drive from Salome to Yuma is only 120 miles or so, but the elevation change is about 1800 ft.  From 2000 to 200 feet above sea level.  It makes all the difference in the world as far as temperature goes.  We were seeing temps in the 60’s in Salome and here it’s getting up to the high 70’s and yesterday it was 80, my oh my, we love it here.

We stopped in Yuma on the way down, ( we are actually in Winterhaven,CA just across the Colorado River), but everyone considers this whole area to be “Yuma”), to have some solar screens made for the coach.

Who is that masked man?

It really helps to keep it cooler inside without having to close the curtains, plus we can see out and passers-by can’t see in.  Now we feel like the big boys.

The latest additions to our yard art have been named.  Jeremiah is our reptilian companion, and the ants wanted to be called Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

Do frogs eat ants?

Not these ants!

We’ll do our best to keep them apart.

We booked a one night bus trip to Laughlin, NV just to see the sights and let someone else drive.  The cost was right just $40.00 each.  That’s for the bus ride, hotel, and a buffet.  Should be fun.

Tomorrow we plan to go to Los Algadones for lunch and stuff.  We are probably at our limit as far as what we can carry home but we’ll see.

Well I’m going back outside and enjoy the rest of this wonderful day.

More Later, Rich
