In yesterday’s blog entry I showed some photos of Indian Hill which overlooks the Colorado River across from Yuma, Arizona. In case you missed that entry, here’s the link… http://wp.me/pDCku-3fg
Yesterday after my Blog entry we took another two-hour walk…this time over and around to the other side of Indian Hill. As always you can click on the photo to enlarge it and then click on it once again to make it even larger.
In the first photo…to the left is the Old Yuma Territorial Prison…then the railroad bridge and finally…the one-lane (even today) vehicle bridge that completed the Coast To Coast Highway in 1914…
Next left to right…Old Fort Yuma Barracks…the old railroad station and St. Thomas Indian Mission…
The old railroad station waiting area apparently did not have any exterior walls for most of the building…
My walking companions Anne and Randy pose near a salt cedar tree…
A side view of the St. Thomas Indian Mission and the old railroad station…
A big old palm tree…
Interstate Highway 8 crosses the Colorado River heading north…
The Colorado River looking south…
A very old dried-up tree trunk…
A very old brick made in Mexico…
Another side view of St. Thomas Indian Mission and railroad cars…
Looking north at first the Coast To Coast Bridge in the foreground and the railroad bridge in the background…
Looking south at Interstate Highway 8…
A front view of the St. Thomas Indian Mission…
And a closer view…
The Colorado River heading north…
Finally about 15 minutes after sunset…
Once again, I hope you enjoyed the photos!
