A Week @ Kofa Ko-op in Yuma, Arizona

 

Eric & I are spending a week at Kofa Ko-op in Yuma, Arizona.

Kofa Ko-op is an Escapees Affiliated Campground.

Escapees are welcome to stay while in the area.  

Eric and I toured this Campground in 2013 and added it to our list of places to stay in Southwest Arizona.  

The Ocotillo, next to the

Swimming Pool is starting

to bloom.

A closer look at the top of

the Ocotillo...

These red flowers assure

me that Spring is on

the way.

We are staying in the Dry Camp Area.

Solar Panels charge our House Batteries.

Full Water Tanks - 100 gallons

Empty Black Tank - 55 gallons

We are parked next to one of

several small gardens.

Hummingbirds roost in the

tree & dine at our feeder.

I like the decorations on

the exterior Sun Screen on

 the front of this Trailer.

One of two awnings that shades

the lot owner's RV.

The small building to the left is

a Casita.

They are used for extra living space or for storage    

                                                                                                                                                                                    

Tilted Solar Panels are tilted

on this motorhome.

Most of the gardens are

in depressions, where 

runoff drains after 

it rains.

Gnome sighting!

The arched wrought iron

porch decorations remind

me of Bourbon Street in

New Orleans.

This Trailer has a large addition.

This is the loveliest Casita 

at the Park.

Oooh...

A car to admire.

Loyal, the proud owner of this Mitsuoka Le-Seyde, tells Eric and me about this special production car.  Just 500 were made.  Most of them were sold in England and Japan.

Loyal lets me "slide in"

behind the wheel of this

right-hand drive car.

Eric gets this shot

of me behind

the wheel.

During my morning walk I discovered a new car in front of Loyal's home.  He said. "I want to show you something."

Loyal pushed a button &

the hardtop roof starts

to retract.  

This is a 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner Coupe.

I had no idea that 1959 cars

had this feature.

These photos were taken in the late afternoon.  The lighting is direct and the color of the car appears to change...

The passenger side of the car.

The front end

The hood is 1950s huge...

I admire the lines of

this 62 year old car.

This shot shows the very

long trunk, with space

for its retracted hardtop.

The rear end is 

sleek looking.

Loyal told me of local Car Shows scheduled in March.
