And Away they Went!

It was 99 degrees in the shade yesterday at noon when I took DH to meet up with his Baja team in Calexico California. We had about a 45 minute wait for them to catch up to us, so we went and had a Rally Burger. They are really good. As good as In and Out Burgers I think!
I think the guys are really going to have a good time. they are taking a van pulling the trailer with the VW and a Pick Up Pulling the Sand Buggy.
Some of the team will catch up to them today in Mexicali. They leave the starting line tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.
This is a first for him. I'm a widow for a week. I got through my first night alone with no major problems. I haven't been without him for a long time and it's really different.
Yesterday on the way to Calexico we were stopped at a Border Patrol Checkpoint, and the agent asked us if we were U.S. Citizens. Grandma and Grandpa in a big red Suburban with South Dakota plates. He looked into the back windows of the Suburban. OK, keeping us safe and doing his job. The only problem with that is - he didn't speak very good english! I had to say "Excuse Me?" twice! What's wrong with that picture? I am fully behind the new Arizona Law that makes being here "Illegal" and gives the police the right to stop "Suspected" criminals.Click on this picture and make it bigger. That's the border patrol out there, and that dark fence is the border. That's how close we are. They have a parascope camera thing that they watch with. Most of the time I'm sure it's a boring job.
After being here and witnessing some of the activity, I am in Total Support of this new law. Everyone that is up in an outcry needs to spend time here before they judge. I am at the point if you don't speak Engligh than ya better use sign language! I'm tired of listening to it! If you are living here full time and working here legally (which I don't have a problem), Learn this Language! This is OUR Country and if we don't stand up pretty soon, it's not going to be our country! We're going to lose it! This new law is just a small tool to help us hold on to what is ours, and fight this drug cartel business. This is Boondocking out at the BLM land West of Yuma.
We see lots of folks out there and I don't know if it's the $40.00 permit land or "Free". It's on the south side of the Interstate.
Coming back into town yesterday I got a picture of the Q casino and the Yuma sign. I feel much more comfortable spending time here.
The wind is going to blow today, we have a front passing through again that is cooling things off a bit the next few days.Most times when it starts to blow, I don't know whether it's wind or an aftershock. They're still having lots of shakin' over by Calexico and Mexicali across the border. Not long now and the heat will be on!
