Yuma, Arizona

This will be quick! Highlights of the journey down the central valley of California, once again, were all about birds! Snow geese and Canadas! Thick clouds of birds in the sky . . .wheeling and turning and then settling into the rice ponds along side the the highway! Beautiful! We finally got out of the fleece and into short sleeves and shorts as we approached the CA/AZ border. Our mandatory annual mechanical problem presented itself as a dead camper battery . . . not a problem in RV parks where we have electicity . . . BUT, not so fun as we head away from the luxury of civilization inland! There are countless "snow birds" in Yuma . . . also needing help . . . so, the replacement took a little longer than we would have liked. From here, we travel toward Tucson. Tomorrow, we'll cross the border at Nogales and head for Guaymas/San Carlos. The following day, we hope to arrive in Mazatlan. We're practicing our espanol along the way!
Que le vaya bien, amigos!

Hopefully the battery is the most of your worries and the rest stays healthy in terms of the vehicle and camper. Don't want you getting stranded in the middle of Mexicano. Hey did you disconnect your cell phone? You know verizon provides cell phone service in both the US and Mexico along with a phone that works off multiple types of signals. You better have a good way of communicating for sake of emergency purposes besides a calling card right. ;P What is the best way to reach you by phone? Let us know. Did it stop raining yet?
