Today, Monday, we went in search of the visitor's information center in Yuma which was easily found. It is located on the Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Park. After obtaining some visitor information we self-toured the state park. The Depot was used by the army to store and distribute supplies for all the military posts in Arizona and some in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas. The Depot is located on the Colorado River which was used for the transporting of supplies.
We drove west from Yuma and was quickly in the state of California. We drove out to the Imperial Sand Dunes where riding over the dunes in ATV's or jeeps are done. There were several areas of RVer's camping on Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The dunes looked surreal to us. The sand was barren of vegetation and with the bright blue skies it just looked like a painting.
We stopped at La Fonda Tortilla Factory for lunch. As the name inplies it was Mexican and we thought the food was really good.
After lunch we drove about Yuma and then headed out toward our campground. We traveled through truck farming areas. Fields of lettuces, cabbage, onions, spinach and kale were seen. Harvesting of some of the crops were being done. Some newly planted fields were being irrigated. I'm amazed at the neatness of the fields, the rows are perfectly straight and the crops look weed-free.
We stopped at a date farm market that was located in the midst of date palm trees.
After returning to the motorhome we chilled out a short while and then attended the Happy Hour and Burger Feed at the campground. Travis took us for a walk and then as Tom cleaned out the black tank I cleaned the inside of the motorhome.
