Easing into El Centro


Well, Yuma was a bust! Pulled into the RV Park to register and was advised that only one pet per site is permitted, and that rule applied to most parks in the Yuma area! The staff were quite helpful and gave us the name of three parks that they thought might allow two pets. We checked out two of them and they were dumps so we said a quick hello and goodbye to Yuma and headed on down the road to El Centro, California.




El Centro is located in the Imperial Valley in southwestern California. Very quiet area with lots of sunshine and warm weather but not much to do unless you


like riding dune buggies over the Algodones sand dunes (not us),














or bird watching at the only sea on the North American continent that below sea level (again not us)


or golfing - that's us! Spent the entire time in El Centro on the golf course. Wonderful!

The only other item of note for this leg of the journey was the celebration of our 27th wedding anniversary. As those of you who were at the wedding will remember, there was a lot of white stuff falling that day, but not this year as you can see from the photos below. Never thought I would be BBQing in shorts on Mar 21st.





















So it's off to Los Angeles this week. Expect the pace will pick up significantly!

Hi Jim and Lesley, Just read your Yuma post. Too bad you didn't check out "our" park, Cocopah. I'm sure they allow two pets per site and it's a wonderful golf park. It's just across the Colorado River from the Imperial Valley and Mexico. Maybe next time. Looking forward to seeing you when the camping season begins in May. In the meantime, be safe.
