YUMA TO SAN DIEGO

Yesterday we drove from Yuma to the Elks Lodge in Chula Vista where we will be for the next 5 days.  Interstate 8 was covered in California Poppies which was a remembrance of times past when we lived in this state.  Our new motorhome handled the elevation changes without taking a breath... and the exhaust brake works like a charm.  The seats were so comfortable and it was nice being able to get up and move around while we were driving along.

The dogs have finally found their spot.  As long as the sun is not pouring through the window they are in heaven... mostly sacked out or looking at the cars going by.  If it gets too hot, they move into the back and lay about on one of the couches.

Over the years we have been in numerous rv parks in Yuma and have not found one that we wanted to return to again.  

But this time, we stayed at Westwind RV Resort at Passport America rates, which is half price for non rv'ers, and the sites were easy to get into, every person we met was friendly, the pool was wonderful and warm, the hot tub was large, they had a dog area for off leash, and a restaurant next to the Golf Course with a great view.  We had fish and chips on Friday evening... just stepped out of the pool and stepped over to the patio where drinks were served along with our dinner.    

On Saturday, we drove over to Algodones where we picked up 7 more frames for a total of $85 and I got a cowboy hat for our trip to Albuquerque in June.  

And then on Sunday, we came to Chula Vista....  more on that later.
