The Arizona Sunsets are something to behold! This was taken from our campsite at Canyon Vistas, where we met friends Rick and Gladys for a whirlwind week of Square Dancing with callers, Jerry Junck, Dale Dockery, Tom Roper and guest Gary Shoemake. What a fun week we had! We have missed sq dancing so much this winter...glad we got our "fix" here with great friends, in Mesa and Apache Junction.

Not a clear picture, but an example of the farm marketing in Yuma. Water from the Colorado River fills an elaborate system of canals and irrigation ditches and the fields are flooded regularly for quick growth and 7-8 crops in a year. Amazing! Field hands, usually Hispanic, arrive in busses to plant, weed and harvest crops such as lettuce, onions, cabbage, broccoli, carrots. Watch for some of this produce in our Canadian supermarkets.

My namesake, right here in Arizona! A few cafes(and I do like to eat), three RV parks and a few residents and that's it! Blink and you miss it! BUT, it is here and it is a quaint little town to just pass through or stay a night, close to the popular Quartzite, home to the biggest Rock and Gem show and RV show each January. Many Rvers, just find a spot in the desert to boondock for the winter. Not many left here at the end of March!

This was the night sky over the Harcuvar Mountains, seen from our campsite last night. Apparently, the pilots liked it too as many con-trails could also be seen. Harcuvar is in the middle of the desert, 2 miles west of Salome, about 35 miles east of Quartzite and 5o miles west of Wickenburg, a quaint cowboy town of the Old West.
