Back Track to Yuma....

This is the second entry today.  The first about today, this is about our two weeks in Yuma.

I'm not sure where to start.  I just re-read the entries I made while we were in Yuma and I covered a lot more than I thought and had posted some pictures.  Here are a few more that may help you understand why we won't be returning to Cocopah (or probably any RV park) in Yuma.  After looking at these photos compare them with today's and you can see why we are happy campers this week!

Cocopah RV and Golf Resort:

Pros: 

• Climate this time of year.
• Not near the interstate.
• Surrounding area is farm land.
• On tribal lands.
• Clean.
• Friendly people.
• Large grassy dog park.
• Some beautiful park models.

Cons:

• Not near the interstate -  or near anything.  Nearest store 9 miles away.
• Sites are mixed park models and RV spaces.
• Site utilities are set up for park models NOT RVs.
• Surrounding area is farm land - lots of agricultural dust and the wind blows most all the time.
• Streets are very narrow and one way - the opposite way that you would park which makes it difficult to maneuver the RV into and out of the site.
• Friendly people - makes it noisy.  We had next door neighbors who like to entertain on the patio but we can hear other gatherings from up and down the street - especially around dinner time.
• Not so beautiful park models - cluttered with junk or devoid of any landscaping or decorations. 
• WIFI is only available at certain locations in the park.

completely surrounded by agricultural fields.

The RV rows.  Inviting, yes?

There we are on the left.
See the one way arrow and the
direction we had to back into?
Fortunately we didn't
have anyone next to us.

A side view of our site with the utility pole for
the empty site and the guy behind us.  He liked to sit
outside and watch TV on his patio until all hours!

This is the back end of our site.  Note the utility box
designed for four sites.  Water spigot the same.  The
guy behind us had a shed and a bunch of junk wood
laying out next to it.  When we dumped I had to go
out and hold the hose in the drain because it wasn't
sized properly and we were afraid the end of the
hose would jump out and spew waste all over.  In the
meantime we had to anchor it with a huge rock to
keep it in place.   UGLY!

These folks had a great corner lot but
couldn't help junk it up.  What a waste!
