Before we left Bullhead City we got a chance to meet up again with friends Rich and Tina. They spent their winter in Florida this year and are now on their way home to Rainier, WA. It was nice to spend time with them again. It was not the same without them this year.
We did leave Fiesta RV resort, but on March 31st. After deciding to just stay put, I broke a molar and was in need of dental work. So we left for Yuma, and down to Algodonas to get it fixed. We spent Saturday night in Quartzsite  Here is a picture of our rig where we settled in for the night in the desert in Quartzsite. And of course the trip to Quartzsite just wouldn't be complete without pizza from Silly Al's. I'm sure it is the best pizza we've ever eaten!!
Then we were off to Yuma. We stayed in the parking lot of the Paradise Casino, which is only a few miles from the Mexican border making for easy access on Monday morning. While we were there this huge fire broke out just a few miles to the east of us. Michel got some great shots. As you can see it's very close.... We got all our dental work done and Michel even got himself a new pair of glasses, and we were out of Algodonas by 4:30. Only 1 hour and 40 minutes in line at the border to leave.  Not too bad??


So while we were in Yuma we visited with friends Russ and Mary Thomas. We met them in 2005 down in San Felipe and have tried to stay in touch, although we haven't seen them in 3 years. But we had a good visit - had a bbq in their back yard on Sunday and then on Tuesday we went to Olive Garden where we celebrated Michel's birthday.
