Wandering With The Wrights 1/21/2016
 |
| While in Yuma, AZ we crossed over into Algodones, Mexico and enjoyed a wonderful day. The city caters to senior citizens from Canada and the US. They flock to the town for dental work, legal pharmaceutical drugs and eyeglasses. Jerry saved over $200 on his prescription eyeglasses - exact same frames as from the US |
 |
| Outdoor restaurants play 40's, 50's & 60's music in English |
 |
| Purchased a jacket from my Mexican amigo |
 |
| Waited in line about 50 minutes to cross back over into US through customs. Have been told line can be 2+ hours long. |
 |
| Enjoying time with a couple from Lindenhurst that camp host at IL. Beach State Park with us. Had a great evening with Dennis and Marcia Zwissler in Yuma. |
 |
| Left Yuma for Quartzite, AZ and the largest RV show in the world. We are boondocking (no hookups) in the desert a few miles outside of town with a fantastic group of people from an organization we belong to called The Boomers. So they call this area of the desert Boomerville while we are here - 145 rigs so far. Jerry up on rig surveying the area for a good place to park. |
 |
| The sunsets have been magnificent - some of the prettiest we have seen |
 |
| The sunset reflected on our coach |
 |
| As you can see life in the desert is pretty simple |
 |

 |
| One of the men here has an awesome quadcopter and lands it successfully on that small rubber mat |
 |
| There is every kind of rig you can imagine here. This is called the Sundeck and it has a reinforced roof, stairs inside to climb up to the sundeck which holds 18 people. |
 |
| There are many educational speakers presenting at the fire pit during the day. This is Curtis the creator of RVillage. A social network on the line of Facebook for RVer's to stay in touch and be able to meet up again as we travel. It is a fabulous resource and it was such an honor to meet him and to hear his story. |
 |
| Every 3rd morning there is a pancake breakfast - it takes about an hour and a half to get all the hungry campers fed. |
 |
| With all these rigs and no amenities something has to be done with all the trash. So every third morning while the pancake breakfast is happening 3 or 4 men from the group with pick up trucks hall all the trash into town where a dumpster is provided. They don't mind going as they get to be first in the pancake line. |
