RESCUE!

Friday of last week, Jim and I went to rescue our "compadre" from the CheapRVLiving forum; a gentleman nicknamed Gunny. He had jacknifed his trailer on I10 just West of Palm Springs. About 200 miles. Neither of us had ever actually MET Gunny in person, but had communicated with him online. A really decent fellow. Jim pulled his trailer with HIS truck, and we drove him back to our spot in the parking lot at the Q Casino. Saturday we spent taking him to an RV repair place, to get his trailer up to snuff.
Sunday he recuperated some before heading off for Fort Worth, TX! It was quite an experience ; and I felt good about paying forward the many acts of generosity I've received from family and friend! This is the kind of guy my friend Jim is.

Q Casino (near Algodones, MX)

I moved away from the skeeters and the constant traffic on the road near the lake. I'm staying in the parking lot of the "Q Casino" on the Quechan Indian Reservation, just about a mile from the Mexican border. I would never in my life have imagined I would enjoy staying in a parking lot , but no kidding, it's like being at the beach. 
This stuff is crazy... and I've been doing it for about a month!

This is where the doggies and I went for a long walk this morning.

Mittry Lake

Mittry Lake (outside of Yuma, AZ) This is BLM land... free camping, but only 10 days a year.

the trailer campsite and Mittry Lake... it got HOT here today! Geez... Lisa and Marvin, you need to come visit. There's enough skeeters to make you think you're back in the South! hahahah

I made it to Albuquerque today... I've got 2 days to get to Quartzsite, Az for the RTR (Rendezvous) ... I might drive South to I10 instead of West on I40. Maybe visit White Sands Nat Monument. It was 1961 that I was there last! :)

It's a lot warmer here in NM... :)
