Yuma - more sunshine

We left Phoenix bound for Yuma. On the way we stopped at Dateland and had a date milk shake and a prickly pear cactus milk shake, and bought Ansel some prickly pear cactus candy. The shakes were actually really good. I think there was banana mixed in too. Anything banana is ok with me. Made me think of all the baby foods that are mixed with banana, and wondered about prickly pear cactus/banana baby food????? A tiny dino and a gigantic rattler, some where along the way...


Then it was on to Yuma, the weather was beautiful, lots of horizons to look at. It's so different from the Oregon high desert. Some day would like to take more time an check out the vegetation and animals that are native to here. We met Linda and Doug Johnson (from Burns) for dinner, they are now resident snowbirds of the Cocopah Community. It was nice to catch up and to learn more about the community and Yuma history.
