February 15, 2021 Back To Yuma

Riverfront RV Park Yuma, Arizona

I woke up early and saw the sky turning pink.  I got up to have my coffee and watch the sunrise…no pictures…just enjoyed the sunrise. 

Claudia and I took one last walk across the desert.  We were looking for pretty rocks and animal tracks and chatting.  It’s so easy to walk when you have someone there to share it with 😊.

Today, we said goodbye to our friends.  Lee and Claudia were headed to Yuma to see Aunt Mavis.  She is 89 years old and stays in Yuma every winter.  Lee and Mavis have a tee time on Tuesday morning to play a round of golf. 

Tim and I also decided to go back to Yuma.  The Jeep needs new tires and we have a couple of other things on our list as well.  Instead of going back to Arizona West, we wanted to try camping at Riverfront RV Park, right along the Colorado River.  This park is older, Jean has had it for thirty years.  She told us that this is the very first year that the park has not been full in February.  This place has a quaint, old fashioned, homey feel to it.  Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.  They have a lot of old signs and a telephone booth and old gas station stuff.  It’s really neat. 

It is a lot quieter than the other park we have stayed at.  Another wonderful thing about this place is that it is adjacent to West Wetlands Park.  I am looking forward to walking there every morning!  It is also where we have come to ride our bikes many times.

This afternoon, we were a bit tired and lazy.  At around 3, we went out on our bikes.  We biked west along the canal and up on the newly paved levee road.  We passed farmland and water treatment plants.

This evening we ate leftovers.  The weather is mild enough that we have our windows open.  We are thinking of our family members in Texas who are without power in frigid temperatures.  Hopefully things there will get better quickly.  We feel so lucky to be warm when we know that most of the U.S. is in a deep freeze.
