2/19-2/26 - Pilot Knob Resort, Winterhaven, CA

This is our "home resort" with ROD.  Not a real resort, but kind of homey!  We get parked, but Steve is not paying attention, and we back up over the water pipes.  Way to go!  The maintenance folks come out to dig the water line, and get it out from under our rig.  One more rip in the skirting!

They spend a lot of time in this place having meals.  We go to Thursday taco salad dinner, have a free cheeseburger dinner on Friday after watching a presentation on Sky Med, have a steak dinner on Saturday, eat breakfast and have ice cream on Sunday.  WOW!

We think we are going to see the Yuma River Days, but the brochure had the wrong date, and we find out it was last week!  Steve also tours something called the Center of the World!?!

We get our RV washed, waxed and have the interior steam cleaned.  We also have a few minor issues worked on, and now the hot water doesn't "sing" to Cathy while Steve takes a shower!!!

Guard Tower over the Cistern
Steve peeks through the gate!
Yuma Territorial Prison was an interesting visit.  We saw the guard tower, which was built over the water cistern to keep it from evaporating; the "dark cell" where the punishments were carried out, and some of the cells.  There were 6 men to a cell, 8' x8', locked up from 9pm to 7am.  No ventilation except the door and a very tiny window about 12 feet off the ground.  Claustrophobia city!!!
