Departure day from Moabi Regional Park, CA was on Saturday morning. Friday afternoon, while hanging out near the boat docks, this speed boat arrived. It's huge! It's fast! I would have enjoyed watching this boat racing on the Colorado River but that wasn't going to happen. We were leaving for Yuma.

It was an uneventful drive south to Yuma last Saturday. We arrive shortly after 3:00 pm and quickly found and parked in our RV spot for the month. The home owner is a real sweet Japanese American and our spot is fantastic.

The photo above is where we will call home while enjoying the sights, sounds and topography of the Yuma area. Our site has a huge private garden area behind our rig that faces east. We enjoy the morning sun with coffee and NO WIND! Yeah! The house completely protects us from any wind. The afternoon sun is along the right side and front of the rig and is quite private too. We are only a 20 - 30 minute walk from our friends who are settled nearby.
Golf courses dot the area around us. There are three very nice courses within a 15 minute drive and one is within a 7 block walking distance. Not bad!!!
Although we don`t have photos to prove it, we spent yesterday afternoon with my brother, Bernie and his wife Rita, at their place in Country Roads RV Resort - the nicest RV park in Yuma. It`s a five star place, in our view. We ended our visit with dinner out at a nice restaurant nearby.
So.....we`ll resume our travels and report more in the days ahead.
Thanks for dropping by.
We have Vancouver Island friends who used to own a park model in Country Roads. It is a nice RV park. Our friends have since moved to Mesa for the winter months and bought a house.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you've found a great spot for the month. Just wondering what type of hook-ups you might have at a private residence? Sewer? 30amp or 50amp?
ReplyDeleteGlad you're near to a few golf courses.
Nice looking home and place to park. Curious about the hook-ups also. Enjoy your week.

ReplyDelete& Rick Doyle,
The foothills of Yuma is a fantastic development that includes homes with RV sites (full hook ups) and many non home sites with two RV's. I'll take photos of the area, the next couple of days, to give you a better sense of this well developed area. It's a unique development that caters to RV'ers and snowbird home owners alike.
We do have a full hookup space with ample private space. The homeowner (from Sacramento, CA) has her private space too....and we never (or seldom) see her. It's a great spot.
