Going the other way, there is a Christian Center, I remember passing it on the way here, that is open a few hours four days a week at this point, I think, where I can leave mail and get free drinking water.
Also, anyone can shop at the Army base a little ways past that. At the base we can get gas, use their restaurants and there is a place to shop (not like "military people" shopping with the deep discounts). I have no military connections, but there are a lot of things civilians have access to on the base. They also have a church anyone can attend.
The camp hosts also said this is a great LTVA because if there's a medical emergency, the medics at the base come, and are here in minutes. If it's a true emergency and the patient needs to be hospitalized right away, they will fly you out. Hopefully that doesn't happen very often, but nice to know.
Jim and Gayle left a comment that when they were here, there were activities like group meals, planned hikes, trips to Yuma, exercise classes, etc. that were scheduled. For someone like me without a car, the trips to Yuma would have been good, I could have chipped in for the gas, and tagged along for the shopping. The season is coming to an end, though, and I didn't see anything planned on the board.
Finally got a hummer photo - unfortunately his beautiful colors don't show.
One problem at this LTVA is the Verizon is spotty here. I keep dropping phone calls and have to stand outside and not move around, or my call is lost. Kind of frustrating. Without a TV, I rely on my Internet connection to watch TV after the shows have aired, and I can't do that here. The camp hosts said there's a place down the road right past the Christian Center, up on a hill (I remember it coming in) that has really good reception. You can actually see the Verizon tower, so the line of sight would mean it's probably blazing fast. I'm going to move there today. It's also on the way back to Highway 95, which is the way I'll go when I leave this area, so it'll reduce my drive a little.
I heard the burros braying again last night, and they just started again, this is the first time during the day I've heard them. I wish I could get a look at them in the daytime - and some photos.
I've been keeping up with everyone's blogs, but the slow Internet won't allow me to see most of the photos, and won't let me leave comments most of the time. I'm still keeping up with you all...
Pretty sunsets here, as usual. Arizona's got such great sunsets:
I'll let you know how I like the campground I move to with the (hopefully) good Verizon signal.
From Me and Katie, have a great Friday, everyone! :)
