Hi! I was a ghost hunter today! We went to a ghost town in “Castle Dome” not too far from here. From where I am…probably 30 miles north. This a mine town right on the base of the mountains on outskirts of the north part of Yuma. It’s a small town. Remember those movies with the cowboy towns and everything is right next door to each other – hotel, bank, bar church……yep, a small town…..I’ve got pictures! (Oh, this is so far out in the middle of no where – both Nextel and AT&T cell phones had no service. This might not be important to you, but I was tapping the screen of my phone trying to find service)

This is the road to get there!

See! It says Ghost Town!

A little bit of history for ya!

It’s like a mini town!

This is the hotel lobby….

There’s a safe in the bank! Wonder if there is money in there??

Yep! I just had to look……

Someone’s bedroom…..

OH, a miner in the hole…..let’s look……

No one down there now……

This room here….anyone that served in any part of a military branch can sign the wall!

Want to buy some cigarettes???

Found running water inside one of the cabins…..

Close up picture of running water…….I was told that they dug 780 feet below and couldn’t find any water, they dug 1,100 feet to find water!

Me holding a gun…oh boy……

Hey, don’t forget, we are still looking for a ghost! I swear these rocking chairs were rocking by themselves! Spooky!

This is the grocery store…..

Okay, that’s what we did today. I didn’t find a ghost this time…..

Tonight we went to Card Bingo. Playing Bingo with a deck of cards every Wednesday night. I like that game. And tomorrow we already have plans to go to Mexico tomorrow morning! I’ll bring my camera cause you never know what will happen down there. Is it dangerous in Mexico? Nope, where we cross, they welcome tourists, we keep their town alive. I had my mail forwarded to me last week (I have one of those UPS Store boxes and their service ships mail to wherever you are), anyways, I got my mail last night around 7pm by UPS and I got my “Popular Science” magazine which I love! I read alittle bit of it last night before I fell asleep. So, that’s what I want to know….what is your favorite magazine! Do you like the magazine “Popular Science”? Well, that’s all I’ve got for today. Check on my tomorrow! Have a good night!

Hi There! Wow, the title of this blog tells you just about all I did today. This is going to be a short and simple blog entry….

I walked Jake around the RV Park, went for a bicycle ride with Jake in the front basket around the RV Park, and went to Bingo tonight at the Paradise Casino (no, not with Jake ) and I didn’t win a darn penny! Bingo is 6pm to 8:30pm every night, but I just go on Monday nights because it’s a night that is not very busy. Tonight there must of been 50 people there and I still couldn’t win. Ha!

Today was a very nice day out today and I’m glad I spent most of the day outside enjoying it. It must of been touching 70 degrees today and it’s suppose to be nice the rest of the week. “Nice” meaning in the 70′s all week.

This week we are going to Castle Dome….I’m not really sure what this place is. A mine? A small town? Outlaw land of the cowboys? Not really sure but someone recommended that we go see it and it’s not too far away either, just a few miles.

Other than that, I’m not sure what’s in store for tomorrow, but I’ll have my camera, so on check on me tomorrow!

Have a good night!

Hi! Well, today was a nice easy day. Today we checked in at the office (remember we arrived at the campground and got setup in our site late Friday night). So we all talked about how long we wanted to stay and all the other destinations we wanted to see this winter and we came to decide to stay in Yuma for 2 months! Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to travel and see what else is down the road, but when it comes to settling down for a couple of months and enjoying the area and company around me, nothing makes me more happy! So we are here until Feb 4th, then we will head up to Las Vegas for a couple of weeks. So, what else did we do today? Not much, it was very very windy out. I watched some TV and do you remember the corn on the cob we picked up at the flea market……

Today was rainy and windy….I think I brought the Northeast weather with me…..The rain here is very misty so this is how we tell if it’s raining out…..it’s just a fine type mist that you can hardly see. I see that there are RVs around us with some minor awning damage due to the wind. It’s very windy outside and the wind stayed with us all thru the evening.

Ohhhh, dinner is almost ready…..

Even Jake got lazy today….I caught him falling asleep on top of the couch…..

This evening I went to Bingo at the Paradise Casino here in Yuma. We are staying off Exit 12 off Highway 8 and Paradise Casino is off Exit 1 so it’s not too far away. Bingo was from 6 to 8 tonight and I went with my neighbor, she’s alot of fun! I didn’t win, but she won $50 bucks! I’ll try again next week!

Time to go back to relaxing…..have a great night! Oh, we will be doing alot coming up in the next few weeks, we’ve got a Christmas Parade happening soon, we are going to visit Old Yuma, and there are some landmarks that I’m going to talk about! Thanks for checking on me!
