Our trip to Yuma via Anza Borrego State Park and the Slabs was very warm and uneventful. We installed an inverter at the Slabs so that we can boondock for a short time and then moved on to Pilot Knob in Winterhaven CA, just west of Yuma. Here the temps became very warm to hot, but we cannot complain. "Midnight at the Oasis" was a great event...over 1000 classic cars paraded into Yuma and set up in the park...what a sight! The ocotillo cactus were in full bloom with their feathery poker orange tips, a harbinger of more desert cactus blooms to come.
Bill is carefully inspecting this '56 T-bird for our friend, Blair as well as this hot-rod, a dream of his. This brought back memories of cars our parents drove, ones in which we began our driving experiences and former vehicles we have owned. WOW! They sure were pretty! It is really something to see them parade down the street all "spit and polished", ready for show! A lot of work and a lot of money!
Unknown to us, Bill's sister and hubby were also in Yuma. They were supposed to meet us in Jojoba in February, but due to travel delays, they postponed a California visit. We were very happy to see them and they us, with the promise to meet in Gold Canyon for a week or two in mid March. A visit to Casa Grande before we arrived at the Chapter 44 Rally March 13th followed Yuma.
