Holy Crap it's HOT

We  were true to our word, early to bed and early to rise. Boy did it get hot fast.  The road was so straight I could have used an autopilot with the cruise control and slept. About half an hour into the journey Kaye saw a truck and camper way out in the desert all by itself, then another, then another.  Then a little trailer beside an access road with a sign that said; "Dry Camping, $100 a month".  We looked at each other and said in unison; "Why"?


We stopped for a tinkle and heard a 'boom boom' off in the distance.  There is a US Army testing base just North of Yuma which stood up during WWII.  Turns out they have a large museum so we will be making a day trip back to visit. We did not go for the Ghost Town Museum in the picture.


We were settled into our 'campsite' by early afternoon, just as the heat peaked.  This is a shock to the system!  The park has 1300 sites and most are snowbirds who have already gone home.  Our friends are still here and so are a handful of other Canadians.  Everyone is trying to clean out their freezers so every night is a feast at somebody's.  Last night was salads and an incredible lasagna, tonight is turkey!  Won't be much cooking done in the Alex trailer for a while.
