January 26, 2021 East Canal Trail Take 2

Arizona West RV Park Day 13

We finished our morning exercise routine and then waited around until lunchtime before making a plan. I know you won’t feel a bit sorry for us, but it was only in the low 50’s. We wanted it to get warmer.

We took our bikes to Caballero Park and rode the East Canal Trail again. We had a nice cross breeze that made pedaling more challenging but not too hard.

We cycled about 6 miles to the community park and ate some apples and protein bars. Then we headed back. The wind was behind us now and we had an uneventful trip back to the Jeep…no flat tires today!

We saw a bunch of ring-necked ducks. They haven’t been in the canals before when we have been biking. They are here for the winter and will return to Canada to breed in the spring.

We might have stopped to get some groceries at Sprouts but it was extremely crowded. So far we have avoided going into any stores, but we need meat and produce. I am going to try to get up and go first thing in the morning.

There is a Marine Corps Bas ehere in Yuma. The jets fly day and night. Sometimes, the jetwash causes the RV to shake! We saw this Osprey tiltrotor aircraft coming in this afternoon.
