Windy in Yuma

Yuma can be windy. Especially outside the city limits. As Ron puts it "There is a lot of real estate changing hands today."

We drove south along the Mexican border towns of Somerton, Gadsden & San Luis. Miles & miles of produce fields. With the bus loads of Mexican workers. They all carry their own rakes & hoes and the bus pulls a trailer with their porta-potties. Not such nice working conditions today in the heat and the blowing dirt.. But I suspect it's tough working most days.

There was a Walmart at San Luis so we stopped to buy new tubes for my bike. Ron has repaired many flat tires this past week. Cactus needles are hard on bike tires. Anyway, when you shop in a predominately Mexican community and you are dark skinned like me, everyone speaks to you in Spanish. I had to smile. Ron got the English version :)

So Monday we will start our trek north. I'm sad. We will likely visit Jim & Jan for a couple days and it will take us a week or so driving home. We will blow out our waterlines in Great Falls as we did last year.
