Rode up with Jim & Katie, and Jim (vroc 18396) and Jim, a friend of his, to meet up with Roger (Hoser) and his wife Gerry.  They had just purchased a motorhome in Quartzsite.  While the dealer was servicing it, they drove down here to meet up.

If you click on the picture, you can see the menu.  Our vroc newlyweds are seeing what they can have on their diet.

Jim from BC, Jim from BC, and Roger from Idaho.

My SW Burger with it's tongue hanging out.  The jalapenos were  under the cheese.

It was several degrees cooler up here then when we left Yuma.  Glad we brought jackets.

We had a nice visit, and all got acquainted.

The young lady with the ball cap is Randy, the owner's daughter.  This is her last day down here to work, tomorrow she's driving back to Washington State.

Gerry and Roger.  VROC members and new RV'ers!!

Semper Paratus

That pile of rocks is actually 3 walls.  The front harrow one is all fireplace.  This was built by 2 French Miners in 1769 (according to a store employee)  The mine and cabin are long gone.  There was a small store and service station here up into the 1960's.

Entrance to Yuma's Proving Ground.  Used by the military to test all kinds of desert equipment and weapons.  This week, NASA will be testing a parachute that will be used on a part for the new Orion.

Back in Yuma we saw this modified Geo Metro.  Nice hasp door lock...

Lots of cab and grill lights, Fender and hood by Bondo,  Aux. Storage by Saddle bag.
