Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 4,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 21st year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here
The motorhome is parked at the Paradise Casino in Yuma, Arizona. I was expecting to leave here tomorrow, but I’ve changed my mind. I currently have reservations at Thousand Trails in Palm Desert, California, February 21st. Between now and then???? For the moment I remain in Yuma.
I just love the ability to change plans at a moments notice. As I tell everyone…All my plans are firmly etched in Jello!
This blog was first posted in January, 2008…
Since I’ve been coming to the Yuma area for a number of years during the Winter, I’ve explored the area pretty thoroughly. Rather than re-visit each place again, I’ve decided to show photos I’ve taken in the past. All these places are within about a one-hour drive from Yuma.
About 50 miles north of Yuma, AZ, out in the middle of nowhere is the Castle Dome Mining/Ghost Town Museum.
In January 2008, I spent three-plus hours wandering through the 20+ restored buildings depicting a gone-by lifetime. The primary products of the 300+ mines spread over a 10-mile area was silver and lead. Mining began in 1862 and operated in some manner until 1979. A most interesting glimpse into the past.

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
