This was a better day! Heater worked. Water worked. Hallelujah!
The afternoon temperature was in the mid 70’s. My kind of day.
Today we went to the Yuma Territorial Prison. It operated from 1876 to 1909. The tour and museum were both quite interesting. The huge guard tower at the entrance is impressive. Prison conditions were less than ideal. The prison was very secure and only had two successful escapes during the years it operated.
Across the Colorado River in California, the St. Thomas Mission can be seen. This was originally the site of the La Purisma Concepcion mission which was built in 1780 by Spanish explorers. It was destroyed in 1781 by native Quechan Indians. The new mission was built in 1922 to serve the Quechan Indian Nation.
This evening one of the couples traveling with us received terrible news. Their son passed away unexpectedly. Tomorrow they will be heading back to California.
