This allows us to get our mail delivered to us here. We got the oil changed and brought a new tire for the one that blow out in New Mexico. We got caught up on all the things that you let go as you are traveling and still got to relax before heading on to California.

We started out in the morning for Yuma for our over night stay. It was uneventful all the way there. We found a KOA that was east of town. The KOA was a nice place to stay. They had a restaurant right there and the food was very enjoyable. The interior roads were rough but the sites were pull through. The cost of the site was reasonable and the people were friendly.

We got to Yuma and pick a RV Park that was backed up against the Arizona canal system; it was like a river but with cement banks. We were on the grass there but it was close to the exit so we could leave in the morning without waking everyone around us.

We headed for San Diego, California the next morning, which was through the mountains but nothing like the mountains north of Los Angeles. We were planning on camping at CampLand on the Bay, which is located on Mission Bay. We signed in for a week stay; we had been in San Diego before and wanted to check on some friends. We did some site seeing and shopping. The weather was nice for the time of year, it was February, the temperatures were in the 70 to 80's. The park had modem dial-up service only, and charged by the minute.

We were right on the Mission Bay, what a view, we enjoyed it . Well be heading north to Oregon after this week stay. See you in part 8, California driving North.
