We've been taking a few hikes to the east of where we live. Just a few steps and you feel like your out in the middle of the desert far from all the housing. We had some beautiful weather for a few days - warm and no wind. The nice weather didn't last. California's stormy weather spilled over to us. We got a very windy day that really blew up the dust. These mountains in the pictures disappeared behind the dust cloud. Then the rain came and it rained for a full day and a half. It hardly ever rains that long here in the winter. Now the ground is really soaked so we are probably done gold mining.
Its been busy in Yuma -- a rodeo and parade and model airplane show. Lots of activities to keep the winter visitors occupied. There are 4wheelers everywhere - they can drive on the roads if they are street legal -- turn signals, lights, etc. Of course half of the ones on the road aren't street legal. They form little caravans and go out in the desert- just another fun activity to keep busy. Our neighbor is into golfing so he's always gone off to play even though its a desert there are plenty of golf courses.
