Off to Yuma in search of warmer weather. During our trip we decided to stop again at Elephant Butte State Park and Truth or Consequences, NM. Of course we had to visit the River Bend Hot Springs for a nice relaxing dip in the spa while overlooking the Rio Grande River.
We arrived in Yuma and stayed on a private lot in the Foothills area. We stayed on a great lot owned by LeRoy and Anne Willis. We had lots of fun teaching the Willis' and the Nix's the game of "Pegs and Jokers". Our friends Tom and Cindy Inskeep were already here in Yuma so we got to hang out with them and visit Kathy's brother James.
During a full moon they have an event called "Howling at the Moon" hosted by country music musician Kelly Hughes. Saturday night, Jan 20th was the full moon party held just a few miles down the road from us in the desert. A crowd of about 2500 fun loving people attended and we had a great time with food, drinks, fun, and lots of music. yes, the crowd howled at the moon as it rose above the mountains.
Fun with Tom and Cindy.
Some people even dressed for the occasion.
Visiting with James and Danelle Nix was a special part of our visit. Dinners and swimming pool time was nice.
