Mar 30th to Apr 1st - DHS to Yuma

Mar 30th – Tues – DHS
Windy last night & today. We packed stuff up in preparation for leaving tomorrow and paid our electric bill. We went out for lunch, wandered through the 99 cent store, picked up a few groceries and hit the ATM.
When we returned, we tried a couple of cleaners on some discolored trim on the 5th wheel and gave it up when nothing worked too well. Then it was time for a good vacuuming.
Our new neighbors Wayne & Linda came over for a drink. They are from Port Alberni (Vancouver Island) and we enjoyed our visit with them.

Mar 31st – Wed – to Yuma
The wind did not let up last night. We pulled out just after 9 and took Hwy 111 on the east side of Salton Sea as we have not driven that road before. I think you have to like isolation to stay on that side of the water.
We stopped at Quechan Casino as it was the day for $10 free play for 55+ customers. I made a sandwich for lunch before we went in. When we checked in at the player’s club, we were each given $20 instead of $10 but we didn’t know why & didn’t question it. Terry switched to “21” after he played his free play and ended up winning $100. I spent only $10 above my free play so it was a good stop.
We had a nice surprise when we turned into The Palms RV park – a special rate of $99 for a week. We chose this park as our friends Charlie & Julie (from Cocopah RV) are staying here. We set up and took a drink over to their place.
Mike & Jewell were also staying here but leaving tomorrow so we all went to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Early to bed after a busy day.

Apr 1st – Thurs – Yuma
It was cloudy & cool this morning. We went to the activity office to sign up for the Easter dinner and stopped by to chat with Charlie & Julie. Then we went for a drive and looked at some 5th wheels – luckily nothing that we “had” to buy. Paradise Casino had $10 free play today so of course we had to take advantage of that. I sat down on a “Tabasco” machine and ended up cashing out $150 from my free $10. Unfortunately, we played some of my winnings but ended up ahead and had a good time.
I had started some dinner prep when Charlie & Julie came over for happy hour. We have such a good time together that we ended up eating dinner at 8. We are enjoying having cable TV as we only had limited antenna channels in DHS.
