Wednesday the 19th we went shopping and did some errands and made preparations to move to the fairgrounds for the hamfest. The top photo is of the motor home parked on Mittry Lake, only about 20 feet from the water. The photo was taken from a jetty close by. We enjoyed seeing many different birds. From the Coots and a long legged long billed bird that looked like a snipe of some kind. Cinnamon ducks, a pair of Teals, white Egrets and a couple of Pelicans as well as many Gulls. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset each evening, just like you were in Hawaii with the palm trees and the water.

The second photo is a sign along the dirt road toward "Betty's Kitchen".
As this was a dirt road toward the water you can only imagine what you would find. We of course drove the road, only about a quarter of a mile and you come to Betty's Kitchen. It is a pay area where they have picnic tables, shelters and pit toilets. There is trees, brush and reeds all around and you would not think there was anything within miles. Where the name came from, one can only surmise. But one thing for sure you would not get any ham and eggs there unless you brought them and fixed them your self. Betty was no where to be found.

Thursday the 20th we left our beautiful parking spot on Mittry Lake and drove to the Yuma Co. fairgrounds. We had to wait a couple of hours before we could get in, but at 4pm we were finally able to get in and park the coach next to the theatre building where we would set up. We got most of the equipment in before they closed the building. We continued our set up on Friday morning and got ready for the public to arrive at noon. However, before we really got completely set up we had business from the other vendors that wanted name badges for themselves. Many of the vendors we had met at Quartzsite, so we had a lot of friends to chat with during the day. We had a good afternoon and look forward to a good day tomorrow being Saturday. There will be a Buzzard BBQ tomorrow evening and they will draw for the door prizes as well as the main prizes after the dinner.
