We drove to Yuma, AZ this morning, going down on the Arizona side of Colorado River. It was about a two hour drive. These next three pictures are from our trip to Yuma. At one point in the south part of Yuma we were only 22 miles from Mexico. (Barbara Jean says that is just to close to Mexico). Going down we came across the Yuma Proving Grounds (Air Force) and GM Proving Grounds. Of couse you couldn't see anything. We did see a tank in the dessert, but these two grounds are back to back and we weren't sure which grounds it was on. Bob said he'd seen tanks at the Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan before, so it could have been GM's grounds.

When it was time to drive back we decided to drive back on the California side of the Colorado River. I told Bob I'd drive if he wanted me too, up to him. We already had been on this road from the north driving south and knew it was manly striaght down the road. So he got me to that road and I took over. Oh ya right, where did these mountains come from and it was like a roller coaster and around the mountains AND they tell you the speed limit is 65. Right, at that it should be 90 miles an hour on expressways. I had a car behind me -- came to a pull over to let faster traffic go by -- yup I pulled over. I told Bob I thought he was doing well with me driving this -- he said I'm find, but from my fingertips to elbow it is numb. LOL --- We made it!!! He never told me to let him drive.

We seen so many sheep and their new baby. (They weren't too old, so so little). They are turned lose on these alfalfa fields. They eat all the alfalfa until it is gone and then the field is plowed under. The sheep are then moved to another field.

They were picking head lettuce in this picture. Not sure it is close enough for you to see. These people walk with this apparatus and pick the head lettuce and put it on the conveyor belt. We have seen so many many fields of produce, such as; broccoli, onion and more onions, head lettuce, leaf lettuce, purple cabbage, and romaine lettuce.

I couldn't find anything I wanted. I still have a gift certificate for Penneys and some cash from my birthday gifts. I make sure I really want something before spending "free" money.
