Out of the dirt and into the mud! Leaving Quartzsite, after spending a few weeks out in the dirt was ready for a Wally World, and some solid ground at the Paradise Casino in Yuma.Well unfortunately that did not turn out to be the case the gravel parking lot where Rver's are required to park turns into a quite a mess after
a downpour, even Candy was sinking in the muck. On the flip side a good thunderstorm is always welcomed in the desert, and only a few big rigs needed a tow. Cant begin to imagine the price of that? I chose to stay put for 3 days to avoid any tow truck fees. The casino itself is rather small only one sit down restaurant which serves, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a small bar which serves late night appetizers. The lot is patrolled by security (when its dry) Verizon is 3G, and length of stay seems to be indefinite.
Yuma has 350 days of sunshine yearly?
The rules (I only broke four)
Hot air balloon Take off
Whoops!
Candy bewildered by the balloon.
Several jets, and army helicopters fly overhead. Had a great video of the jets, but erased the wrong one. Still experimenting with my video skillz.

View of the casino at night. After things dried up a bit it was a decent stay, and as usual the price is right....Free. Just be sure to check the weather forecast before arrival. I've also put a search box in the upper right for those of you who inquired about previous casino post. Thanks for the visit! Good Day:)
Nice to see you back on the road Nomad. Yuma has a nice big flea market, because of the rain I doubt its worth going to, assuming you like flea markets, anyway keep up the good work, we enjoy seeing your pictures and the comintary.
