Yuma, Castle Dome, and Algodones Mexico

We left Quartzsite after 8 days of dry camping, meeting some great people and visiting with some friends from the East in our Montana circle. It's January 26th and we are now heading to Yuma Arizona only about 65 miles South from Quartzsite. We will stay awhile at delPueblo RV park, a nice park with full hookups including water for continuous hot showers and washing clothes.

Castle Dome Ghost Town 35 miles NW of Yuma
Arizona. You can see the dome in the background.
Mining began in the late 1860's in the Castle Dome
area for silver but was soon discovered there was a
large copper-lead ore presence that was valued more.





Castle Dome was a mining town area in the mid 1860's

This pix shows a car. Must have belonged to a tourist!

Mexican boys flippin' coin in Algondones Mexico square.
This town is just south of Yuma Arizona. Full of
drug stores and dentists for US tourists.
Gladys, named after my mother!
