Our Location:
Near MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California
A warm night and a nice morning with some wind but nothing too much. Of course it comes from the north and so keeps the early morning a bit coolish enough to need a hoodie when you are out in it. Breakfast and a walk started the day off, next I vacuumed the Dogsled to get rid of Yuma's hair. Riley and I had a number of errands to run today and a few more tomorrow too.
We got stopped by the train on our way home. It had 6 engines. 
Note the wheels on the trailer on the right.
Our first stop was Best Buy, they advertise camera repair, it was a no go. I called Kurt's Camera repair listed as serving the Yuma and Winterhaven area, except it's located in San Diego and I would need to send my camera there. I asked a few folks but to no avail, there is no where to get my camera looked at here in the Yuma area. Oh well, I'll just keep using my phone for now.
Looking east along the arroyo beside the Igloo. 
Looking up at the Igloo from the photo above.
Actually Best Buy wasn't our first stop, our first stop was to see Doug & Yuma ( Miss Adventure Travels ) just to kind of make sure everything was good with them. Yuma was happy to see us and wanted some pets and attention. It was good to see Doug settled and enjoying the morning.
Interesting trunk on this tree. 
Odd don't ya think?
So, second stop was Best Buy, third stop was U-Haul to get propane. For less than $32 USD my big tank was filled to the top, which would work out to be about $50 CAD, about the same as back home on the Island for an exchange. It's the first time I've had someone rip the exchange label off, said he had to check the entire tank for rust or wear spots but put another sticker back on it when he finished. It still has a couple of years and I truly can't figure out why he needed to pull the sticker off. Anyway...
Different branch on a different tree. 
The Palo Verde's over hang the arroyo.
Our next stop was Walmart where we left a sizeable deposit for a very full buggy. We've been running a little low on a few things and needed to stock up, we also managed to find some nice new chairs and of course the Big Dog needs to keep his favourite drink stocked up, Def fluid, or he won't run! We managed to get just about everything on the list too.
The Palo Verde remind me of Willows in some ways.
Our last stop was right in the parking lot at Wally World, it was fill the remainder of our drinking jugs with water. It was an easy thing to do right in the parking lot. Yeah, most of the errands completed.
Lots of debris under here, just like a Willow that sheds large amounts.
Back home we put all the groceries away, separated what needed to be separated, and even managed to have some lunch, all before 4 MST.
Lots of waste waiting to fall or be swept away.
Yesterday I chatted dad, daughter Bradey, and sister in law Janet. It was a day full of catch up, or at least an evening. Grandson Auston has been battling a cold for a number of weeks, it seems to go away to come back again within a few days. Hopefully some antibiotics will clear everything up. His brother Lincoln hasn't been sick at all, lucky little fella. Bradey and hubby David are doing well too. SIL Janet reports Dennis is doing his therapy (broken hip) and is hopeful to be back on the golf course by shortly after the new year. We do hope he manages to get back into it, he does love it and plays every day out here in California.
I like the skeleton tree, it's not far from our spot.
A few more errands tomorrow and so the picture taking has been on hold. Sorry about that but it is what it is. I'll get back to that in a day or two, honest.
Those are the Cargo Muchacho Mountains.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the visit.
Until next time...
Take care, be safe,
Deb
