Our Drive Southeast to Yuma, Arizona

This is the last leg of the drive to Yuma, Arizona.  





Today's three-hour drive















Indio




We take the ramp to



Coachella City Limit
Population 40, 517 
Elevation 71 Feet

The Festival is set for
April 15 - 24, 2022.




End Freeway





We appreciate the warnings 
of upcoming traffic lights.





Date Palms reach for the sky.









Religious artwork & graffiti
decorate this section of
a rocky hill.







I think about Salvation Mountain near...





... the Salton Sea.

Its environmental struggles
continue.




Scrubby plants and bushes grow in this section of the Mohave Desert.  






Baled hay waits at the edge
of a field for transport.




We drive along California














My guess is this is a refinery.









Eric turns onto California
State Route 111 South.





Sheep in a nearby field



Eric wants to add a bottle
of Fuel Additive.

A note will help us
remember to add it.





Interstate 8 East will
take us to Yuma.





Water spouts arc across 
the field.







I wonder if spray irrigation will be replaced by drip irrigation as the severe drought in the Southwest continues.





RVs, with ATVs, come to the
 Algodones Dunes to ride on
the soft sand.










Eric pulls over & gets the
Diesel Fuel Additive from
a lower bay in the
motorhome.






An irrigation canal snakes
through the desert, near
the dunes.





We pass a tractor-trailer 







The Southwest is our country's Winter Salad Bowl.





Population 2
Elevation 280 Feet




The Center of the World
is within Felicity's
borders.




Welcome to Arizona

The Grand Canyon State





The Yuma Water Storage
Tanks




Eric adds the Diesel Fuel
Additive before filling
the motorhome's 100
gallon tank.






Eric and I are staying in Yuma until at least late March.  






Suni Sands RV Resort is
our favorite place to stay.
