Quartzsite to Yuma... and back

We left Borrego Springs on Nov 27 and headed back to Plomosa road as we wanted to take in the Boat Parade in Lake Havasu City on Nov 30.  Pictures this year didn't turn out great - as always for better pictures taken by talented photographers with expensive equipment check the interweb.  😞




As you can see the weather was nice for the parade but shortly after we got to experience some rare rain in the desert. 




On Dec 7th we headed back down to the VFW Quarry at Yuma, looking for some warmer (yeah, I know, we become wimpy real fast) and drier weather, and to meet with Teresa and Robert who would be passing through on a house hunting trip.  I also took the opportunity to go down to Los Algodones MX for a little tooth repair and Wendy picked up a new pair of glasses.  


Since the canal was right out the window I tried a little cat-fishing.  I don't think I have enough patience to be successful at that, but I'm practicing.  

Dec 21 we headed back to Plomosa Road to set up for Christmas with Rod and Pauline and also with Teresa and Robert who would be stopping there enroute to home.  

You can still have a Christmas tree in the desert, 
you just need a few coat hangers and a creative wife! 

Table set for dinner. 

Half a turkey on the BBQ, the other half roasted in the dutch oven over some charcoal. 

Both turned out pretty good, if I say so.  I'm partial to the BBQ myself.  

OK, gotta go... the world juniors are on.  Happy Holidays to all and all the best for 2019, and all that.
