Sunday Evening And It's Still HOT....................

in old Yuma town. We made our casino run to the Paradise casino yesterday and managed to leave with some of their money..................not much; but, some. Today we decided to drive around and find out what new roads have been built since our last visit. We're always looking for shortcuts to take when those damn winter visitors arrive in droves. We had hoped that one street had been extended a few more miles to the west of the Foothills so we explored it today. Road turned out to be a drive in the desert and I thought we were going to get lucky when I could see cars zipping past on a paved road...........no such luck, we reached the end of the road about 50 feet from the pavement and a big long fence stretched along side the paved road as far as we could see in both directions. Retraced our route a ways and found that we could still avoid a lot of the winter traffic when we need to.

Naturally, our travels took us to the other casino, Cocopah, so we gambled for a little while and we managed to leave there with some of their money too. It'll probably be the last time we win anything at either casino.

When the sun goes down it cools off nicely so things are going to get better. Broke out the old BarBQue tonight and burned some pork chops and stuff. We should be settled in after a few more days. Gotta get out and do some of the easier geocaches this coming week.

More later. W&B
