Ninth Anniversary

Cinco de Mayo today! Many people think this is the Mexico’s Independence Day, much like our Fourth of July. Mexico’s independence Day is September 16th. Cinco de Mayo (fifth of May) celebrates a military victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

For us, Cinco de Mayo has another reason for celebration. Donna and I were married on May 5, 2006 at Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona. We always go out for dinner on Cinco de Mayo and this year is no exception. We’ll take an Uber car to Island Prime restaurant on the east tip of Harbor Island. Island Prime is an upscale steak and seafood establishment on San Diego Bay with views of the downtown skyline and Coronado Island.

Wet weather is closing in on southern California. After joining Bob and Sini Schmitt for breakfast this morning, I’ll need to pack our outdoor gear. I’d like to have everything secured in the trailer before we go out to dinner tonight. Then I’ll only have to dump and flush the tanks before we disconnect tomorrow.

We’ll drive to the vicinity of Yuma, Arizona tomorrow and find a place to boondock overnight before we continue to Benson, Arizona. I’m not sure if I’ll post again until we reach Benson.

    Happy Anniversary!

    BTW – For a nice boon docking spot… I recommend behind the Quechan Casino aka “The Q”. Don’t stay in their lot, but continue past their parking area over the bridge and around the corner towards the border and you’ll see a nice spot on the right. Most spots overlook the dry wash… waaay down below you.
    Safe travels!

      Thanks Dave, we might give that a look. I was thinking about heading into AZ. We found some spots off of Old US 80 near Wellton.
