Friday, January 6, 2012. We are in what they call the Winter Vegetable Capitol of the world. Yuma, Arizona.

We arrived here in Wednesday. I haven't had a good connection since arriving here. So today it is finally working okay for now. I am in the laundry room, seems my connection is better in this part of the resort.

The weather here is unusually warm for January. That is great news. We have had 74 - 79 degrees since we got here. Suppose to have really windy weather tomorrow. But we are staying here until Monday morning. Tomorrow we will have our trailer washed. They go around to the different resorts and campground. Only cost $35.00 to do the trailer. Seen them around last year. They do a good job.

Well I think the clothes are ready to go into the dryer.

In this part of the country they have big ditches that they fill with water from a well. The fields are big and divided into samller fields. When they need the plants watered they open the flood gates to the field. This in turn fills a 6" - 8" deep trench between each row. As you can see the water coming down these rows. The fields are all leveled with leveling equipment.

This is one of the plants, AFTER THEY PICKED. Just think of the broccoli you can pick for yourself.

January 5, 2012 -- This is the equipment that the workers walk behind to pick the produce. I will try another time to get a picture from the opposite side. Wish I could just walk out in the field and take their picture. Probably not a good idea.

This picture was taken at our resort in Yuma. Very nice place. It was 282 miles from Benson to Yuma.

Forgot to mention this picture and the other from Benson to Yuma were taken on January 4, 2012. We seen a lot of these type of cactus on our trip to Yuma. It is odd that it seems to depend on the area you are to what type of cactus you see.

These a big cotton bales in the fields. Last year we seen many of these going through Texas, didn't see any to speak of until now. The drought in Texas was probably the reason for lack of cotton bales there.

Our trip from Benson to Yuma, AZ. Just a mountain I found interesting.
