January Update

Yuma, AZ - Lettuce Capital of the USA

Time to update.  We're fine & in Yuma, AZ until early March. We moved a day early to Yuma from Tucson due to some winter weather predicted for our planned Jan 7th move.  We came here to check the place out since Donna's cousins winter here.  We've been here just over two weeks.  We've gotten a couple of rain days since arriving with today being one of them.  Temperatures are more moderate here than in Tucson, and the area is covered with snowbirds. We haven't seen this many Canadians in one place in the US since we spent a few weeks in Saratoga, FL in 2010.

We're located in Del Pueblo 55+ Community Park. It's an excellent place to be.  We've got way more room here than in Tucson. Overall, the area is agriculture based along with the MCAS. 

We haven't gotten out a whole lot.  We found Chick-Fil-A, ice cream, one Mexican Restaurant that Thom & Mary took us to, and several grocery stores. We've located several places to hike. Yuma's not all that big, but it's busy.

We've taken a few pictures of the area and posted below.  Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us. Until next time, David

Happy New Year!

We're fine.  This is our last week here in Tucson.  We travel to Yuma on Sunday for a couple of months. Donna's cousins Thom & Mary spend their winters in Yuma, so we thought we'd check that area out.

Last week we got out to Tumacacori, AZ to see the Tumacacori National Historical Park - an old Spanish Mission built in 1757.  We enjoyed walking around it and park of the Anza Trail that commemorates the old Spanish trail the mission priests used from down in Mexico to San Francisco, CA. There's some pictures below of the mission area.

We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and New Year's celebrations.  Thanks for dropping by and checking on us.  David
