February, 2011 - The Adventure continues


It's been two years since my last post. This trip was a short one to Yuma, Arizona...a beautiful desert community with lots of southwestern flavor, which includes the architecture, the wonderful Mexican food and the natural beauty.

We met Dad and Georgia at the Elks Lodge in Yuma, where they had spent a couple of nights. The lodge sits next to sand dunes, where owls come to nest. Tony was able to get some great shots of a pair as they nestled in the sand:


Tony and Izzie, at our stop at the Elks lodge to fill our water tanks and empty our black water tanks:
On our way to picturesque Mittry Lake, north of town we passed a very productive farming community! We've seen countless varieties of lettuce, broccoli and citrus fields with workers in the fields, harvesting the crops.

We set up camp on the banks of the lake:
Tony finally got to use his fire ring that he received last year for his birthday and we really enjoyed sitting around the fire. Here are Rollie and Tony, enjoying their leisure time (That's Dad & Georgia's coach in the back):
We were nestled up close to Rollie's horses in their temporary corral, with Rollie and Mary's 'home' behind it.


Mary is such a dedicated knitter! When it got dark around the campfire, she just kept on knitting with the aid of Tony's trust head lamp!

Izzie Loves Camping!
