Dec 30...on to Yuma

Norman was exhausted last night and after a little reading in bed, we turned the lights out early. Then at midnight I made a pee run. The cycling of the water pump woke Norman, and he swears we have a leak. So with flashlight in hand he searches all the bays and cupboards for the "phantom" leak...It's never found, but he kinda thought 36 degrees was a little too chilly at night to keep looking. But the stars sure are bright and beautiful!

We sleep in a little this morning, eat a leisurely breakfast, shower and put on fresh clothes. We'll jog east over to Parker and then south on down 95 to Yuma. It's only a tad over 100 miles now.

Several of us have headed out after Christmas and taken the coast route south to Yuma. THE CONSENSUS: What a beautiful drive for a car. The scenery was beautiful. But in an RV it was extremely slow going, nerve-wracking through all the turns, especially around those redwood trees, and lots of trucks! Pretty much everyone said the same thing, "WHAT A BITCH!" And we'll all seriously think twice before driving it again in the winter. It took Norman and I one day longer to get here despite two days of driving 10 to 11 hours.
