We've been busy doing more exploring around the Yuma area. We found water -- the lower Colorado River. There are a couple of "lakes" along the river. These are places where a dam backs up the water in the river a little bit. It's very nice to see palm trees around water.
We went with a hiking group into the Barry Goldwater Range. You need a permit from the Marines to go on the range because it is part of an active base. They do some sort of bomb testing there.
We went up to the Fortuna Mine area. It was very interesting -- huge deep hole where they mined gold and some other minerals. You needed a 4 wheel drive to get there so it was nice to go with a group and ride in one of their vehicles. Our truck has 4 wheel drive but its too wide to fit on the narrow little trails you have to follow.
The weather is holding -- its staying in the 70's during the day and 50's at night.
