Saturday, January 22, 2012 -- Went into town to have lunch at Yuma Landing Bar & Grill. It was a great place to have lunch, watched the first half of the AFC Football Game. Finished the game back home. Big screen TV and many others. Was surprised to see they had a betting window for horse racing too.
We were going out for dinner, but the AFC game starts here at 4:30 and Bob wanted to be home to see the whole game.
We will be leaving in the morning for Indio, CA. This is a little to the west (about 40 miles) and then straight up north. It will take us about 2-1/2 hrs. Will be there and then move about 1/2 hr to the west for 12 days. In between these two locations is Palm Springs, CA. Palm Springs is the place that Bob Hope had is golf tournament.
Weather has been very nice. It gets cool at night, because of the clear sky's. But warms up ok by noon or so.

This and the next picture are about the following. We had a beautiful day here. We went out to a flea market (new & used stuff). Nice day to walk around outside.
While there the winds picked up at about 3:00 p.m. This was the site on our way back to the trailer. Bob guesses the wind would have been around 40 mph. It doesn't take much for the wind to blow the sand/dust around and cause this kind of a look. We knew they had called for windy weather, but was so surprised when it started because it was so clear, sunny, and warm until 3:00 and then the wind started blowing. Today we heard on the news that Palm Springs, CA (near where we are going for the next two weeks starting tomorrow) had 90 mph. This is where the PGA Tournament was held this week. Can't imagine the winds that high, and DON'T WANT TO SEE IT EITHER.
