Back to Yuma

Well, we are headed back to Yuma much sooner than we had thought. I developed a medical problem we need to have taken care of and the best answer seems to be back in Yuma. Hated to leave Care as that leaves them very short on volunteers but can't do the work anyway. Plan to take 6 days to get there. After the first day when we were on the road till mid afternoon we have started getting on the road earlier in the morning and trying to get off shortly after noon before the sun starts hitting the front of the motorhome. Much better. Spent the first night in Mineral Wells, TX. A very pretty area we would like to go back to and spend a few days. People went there in the day for the mineral baths. We came by a beautiful old hotel. Sure hope they restore it before it gets anymore run down. The lady at the campground told me in the 60s there were over 100,000 people there because there was a big helicopter training base there for the troops going to Vietnam.

Second night we stopped in Big Spring, TX. Didn't see much of it as we stopped right along the interstate and didn't venture out.

Tonight we are in Van Horn, TX. Not much here now but according to the brochure we picked up there is lots of history here. Lonesome Dove was filmed in this area too. It is a beautiful area. We are starting to feel like we are almost home. At least you can see more than a few feet.
