Casa Grande to Yuma and Pilot Knob RV Park

Our stay in Desert Shadows RV Park in Casa Grande was only three nights. Peg had to get an eye exam, I picked up my new stair cover motor from Bob and Marlene as well as the motorcycle, guitar and various other thing we had left with them before we headed to Mexico. Thanks to Bob and also Rod B. for helping to acquire the motor for the step cover while Peg and I were in Mexico. I got the new motor installed while we were here at the park.

We headed out at 11am for our 200 mile journey to Yuma and the Pilot Knob RV Resort. You may recall, the last time we were in Yuma we saw almost nothing since we both were very sick and ended up staying the entire week in the parking lot of the Cocopah Casino. I hoped this time would be different.

You first come into Yuma though the foothills. Several RVers we know have RV pads in this foothill area. We then passed through the city of Yuma and across the border into California where Pilot Knob is. We had heard mixed things about this park but we thought it was fine, although it was a bit dusty there from the surrounding desert. We ended up not getting a cement pad for our patio area on site 26, so we used our patio rug and that worked out fine.

At Pilot Knob, even though it is in California, they stay on Arizona time since it never changes. I was also told that many people come there from Arizona so it reduces the chore of changing all the clocks in your coach.

While here we will head to Algodonas, Mexico for dental work and visit the Center of the World....Stay Tuned! And here is a sunset picture from our first day at the park!
