On Jan 25th we headed out for Yuma, AZ. Toured the Yuma Territorial Prison and had Lunch at the Yuma Landing, one of the longstanding places in town. The following day, after partaking of a pancake breakfast at the RV park, we hiked an interesting canyon to see a grove of palm trees growing in a steep side canyon.

After church on Sunday, we went to the Arizona Marketplace. This was a really great flea market. It was set up under rows of big white tents with each row having an assigned letter. They had a lot of hard to find stuff. I bought orange peelers, a butter dispenser for corn on the cob, and some trains for my domino set (to play Mexican train). John bought an antenna to put on the coach to improve cell phone reception. They also had an ice cream booth, so we indulged.
After 6 days in Yuma, we moved on to a hot springs on BLM property where we dry-camped.

We've been having an ongoing problem with losing voltage during the night when nothing is running, so we don't even try to watch TV unless we're hooked up. While at the hot springs, we attended an educational program at an experimental farm run by UC Davis, CA. Had coffee and popcorn on arrival, then a video and lecture, fresh salad lunch, and then jumped on hay wagons for a trip to the fields. We got to pick cabbage, beets, white radishes, and broccoli. When we got back to the RV, our neighbor brought us over some cauliflower. We feasted on fresh veggies for the next week. John and I were invited to sing with the entertainers during lunch for which we received a CD. Our part...we got to chime in with "I'm getting old.....".

On Feb 3, we arrived at Anza Borrego State Park.
