Trip to Glamis, California

 Didn't want to get up at 7:30 this morning, but Yuma was insistent.  He won!  Went out for a walk and the wind was up today to around 15 mph at a constant pace.  However, it is going to be a warm day with a high of 80 degrees, possibly a record for the area.

Had a leisurely breakfast sitting outside on the lounger with Yuma on the rug beside me.  In yesterday's comments, Al Travel with the Bayfield Bunch:) mentioned Glamis.   I looked it up on Maps and found that it is on the northern end of the Dunes on hwy 78 about 35 miles from here.

Decided, it would  be a place we should visit, so at 11 o'clock we headed north on Ogilby Road toward hwy 78 about 22 miles from here.

On Ogilby Road with the Chocolate Mountains dead ahead.

The road ended at hwy 78.  Made a left turn and headed west along the mountains.  It wasn't long before I pulled off to get a better look at these mountains.  Look familiar.

Yuma on the run.

It was about 10 miles west to Glamis.  I didn't realize the area with tents and one building was Glamis, so we went on into the North Aldogones Dunes.  There was a viewpoint high up on top of a large dune, so we headed up.

There were many groups of dune buggies parked at the top, probably taking a lunch break.

Hwy 78 way down there.

Cargo Muchacho Mountains to the southeast.

Yuma was running around unleashed and a couple tried calling to him, so I called Yuma back to me.  They asked if it was my dog and I said he was.  The man said he looked exactly like the Wanted Poster on the trash can behind me.  I turned around and there was a picture of Yuma!

Amazing likeness!!!😓  Hope they found him.

Looking west towards Brawley, California.

Looking northwest across hwy 78.

On our return trip we made a stop at Glamis.

Only real building in this unincorporated town.

Heading back to our mountains and home.  We arrived at 2 o'clock and relaxed for about an hour before I started getting my post ready for the night.  No clouds at all tonight so didn't take a sunset picture.

Nearly 6 o'clock now, so time to get this thing published and get dinner started.  Tomorrow is going to be a busy move day.  Can't believe I've been here for two weeks!  Time to move on.

See you later.
