Yuma Winter Trip (Day 13)

12/29/10 (Wednesday)

It rained in the morning, so I told Tom why we don't we bring the blanket to wash. The rain was continuing while we were inside the laundry place. It costed $4.50 for big load, which I can put two big blankets. After we were done the rain finally stop. Then Tom took me to the tents lot trying to shop again. Since the morning rain most shops were closed, we only find some shop open. I went into one of the gift store. I found myself an iron-on T-shirt cat for only 99 cents, I bought two and also one Quartzsite Map for only 99 cents each. Next door Tom finds a RV Supply shop still open. We went inside Tom saw a lot of supply for the RV. We were looking for a water tank cap which Tom lost it in the Red Earth Casino. We could not find it, so I went and asked the shop owner and he finds it for us, but it cost $6.99/ea. Tom said he will make it himself when he comes back to KTC. Tom wanted to buy some switch for the trailer light, but he forgot the size. We went home to get the switch. We drove into a side street next to the fire station and found the library which they open from 9 am to 5 pm. It was a very small library. We returned to the RV store and get the switch for $3 each. I bought 2. On the way to the gas station, we saw the Hi Jolly sign. Tom wants to go see the Hi Jolly Cemetery, so we turn into that street and arrived at the cemetery within a half mile.






We took a lot of pictures. Then we went to get some gas which cost only $2.99, after that we saw a big rainbow in front of us. I took some pictures.

After we all went back to the trailer Lawrence and I both tell Tom that we want to pack up our stuff and leaving Quartzsite. Because there was nothing here for us to see, we all agree and started packing. Then Tom said why so hurry, why don't we stay over night? We told Tom that we don't want to stay here, it was too boring here, plus you told us the rain is coming again. We keep driving until another Boarder Patrol in front of us (it was between Quartzsite and L.A.) This man (Patrol) asking us where we from? Tom told him we from Yuma. He told us that was where he was born. He asks us did we go visit the Territorial Prison? We said we did and told him it was a nice place to visit. Next stop we went to Winco Foods to shop, we buy a lot of grocery. Then we slept at the Rest Area (about 50 miles) before L.A. The wind and rain was extremely heavy Which caused us to stay there for the night.
