We arrived in Yuma on October 25, and will be here until sometime in March. We are staying at the Sun Vista RV Park here which is a large RV park with 1200 sites. They have a theater area, a library, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, pickle ball courts, miniature golf, RC car race track, shuffle board, horseshoes, a two story fitness building, etc. There are loads of activities and games scheduled every day, plus concerts and dances. Most residents travel around on golf carts or electric bikes. It is a very nice park, with easy access to most of the town. We came here because they had a first timer special this winter for $450 a month including electricity.
We have spent time here exploring the town, putting together puzzles in the library, playing bingo and other games, and working on the motorhome and Jeep. We had a lift kit installed on the Jeep and tried it out in the desert last week. Now we are installing some insulation in the Jeep roof. We added a screen wall to our awning for more shade and added outside shades to the windshield and front windows. We have replaced most of the other window shades with new day/night roller shades and really like them.
They have a wood shop here for the residents to use, and I am starting a lathe class tonight. Hope to learn how to make bowls, etc. on the lathe. They have a quilting and an embroidery group here so hopefully Janice will get to join them.
Janice spotted this scorpion on our Jeep trek in the desert.
