Winter in Yuma 2026

-

Well, our time has come to an end here in Yuma and 30 days here was plenty to visit the sights we wanted to see.  When we were running from the cold weather in the Fall, I didn't think we would be running from the hot weather in February.  But, here we are.  Our last day in Yuma it hit 96 degrees.  


Castle Dome Ghost Town

I am going to start this blog with my favorite picture that I took while in Yuma. This building is at the Castle Dome Ghost town and has military veteran names written all over the walls.  Very surreal to look through all of those names.  

One of four rooms in this building with servicemembers names.  Corey found a small space and added mine.  Very cool.  







Yuma Territorial State Prison




Glamis Sand Dunes





Beau got some new goggles.

Need some paddles to get up that hill a bit faster.

Tumco Townsite Ghost Town



Over 90 unmarked grave sites in this ghost town. 



Beau can always find a good shade on a sunny day.



Ohhh look a mine.  Lets get a closer look.





The dangerous mines are all gated off.

Center of the World





Not sure much science was used in this designation. 


Misc Pics

Pilot Knob.  We were camped right next to this for the month.  Apparently this is a volcanic plug, just not as cool looking as Shiprock in New Mexico or the Devils Tower in Wyoming.  

Our first night in Yuma.  The moon was crazy large.  


Quick trip to Los Algodonos Mexico

We don't have room to buy a bunch of stuff while we are full time RVing, but this won't take up much space.  

Paranormal Cirque show in Yuma.  Wasn't disappointed.

Last night in Yuma. Stopped by the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway bridge over the Colorado River. 

It's time to get a move on.  Here we come Tucson!  Hoping for a bit cooler weather.

A Week In Star Valley Wyoming

-

  It's the first week of October and Corey and I just left the Heise Idaho area. Our plan is to avoid winter as much as possible as we migrate south. But, with Star Valley Wyoming in our path of travel and the history of my great-grandparents being some of the first to settle in this area, a visit was due. Here are some of our adventures while in Star Valley! Our base camp while in Star Valley was the Star Valley Ranch Resort in Thayne Wyoming. We rented a lot from a wonderful couple from the Virginia area. The lot had plenty of room to fit our 45-foot fifth wheel, side by side and truck. I can only imagine how busy this place is in the summer with golf, pickleball, and the pool/hot tub all within a five minute walk. We started our Star Valley visit with a hike to Periodic/Intermittent Spring in Afton. Very nice hike through the changing leaves walking along the stream.   Its a steep scramble up to to where the water comes out and Corey said this is as far as she goes! T...

Lake Havasu City

After leaving St George Utah, it was time to head further south chasing the warmer weather.  That led us to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.   Our original plan was to stay at Lake Havasu City for 30 days and then move down to Yuma, Arizona.  But as time went on, we kept saying that a month wasn't enough to do and see everything that Lake Havasu had to offer.  Luckily, we had the opportunity to move our Yuma plans out a month, giving us time to really get to know Lake Havasu. We got to enjoy the Parker 400 offroad race, Winterfest, and the Balloon Festival during that time .  The resort we stayed at was the Havasu RV Resort on the North end of Lake Havasu. Amazing place with amazing people.  Already looking forward to next winter! We spent our first day in Lake Havasu visiting the downtown area, to include the London Bridge. Our first sightseeing trip started with Oatman, Arizona. What is not to like about Oatman?  It has a wild west feel about it and l...

Utah Visit: Antelope Island, Little Sahara, Rocky Peak, and St. George

After spending the month of September and the first week of October in Idaho, it was time for us to make our way to St. George, Utah.  Our reservations in St. George didn't start until November 1st, so we had some time to burn and took our time getting there.  Our first stop along the way was at Antelope Island, which is near our home in Layton.  It gave us the opportunity to have the grandkids come camp with us for the weekend.  While they didn't get to see any antelope, the bison and coyotes were out and about in numbers.  We stayed at the Antelope Island Bridger Bay Campground.  It didn't have power, but on the plus side, the bison could wander in as they pleased. There were always a couple hanging out our entire time there.  After our visit at home, we continued our way down south with a stop at the Little Sahara Sand Dunes to do some riding with family and friends. We prefer to stay at the Oasis Campground, as it is less busy than camping at Sand ...
