BACK IN CALIFORNIA

Well, we're back in California, and now we have to change all the clocks back an hour! So it's dark at 5:30 now. We pulled into our new boondocking site just before night fell. On the way through Yuma we stopped for all the tedious tasks: laundry, gas, dump tanks, oil change, etc., but I did also buy some yarn, and we got some dates from the little town of Dateland - they're delicious. Just over the border of Arizona, into California, we're at an area called Winterhaven (which I understand encompasses a rather large area, popular for boondocking, both within Arizona and into CA.). We plan to stay a few days here, to explore the American Girl Mine. The wind is relentless, and it's cold - unseasonable cold, we're told by locals. But we're cozy and warm, and enjoying the sound of the wind against the Chinook.
