We're in Yuma! Yeah! We are on the road again. It wasn't easy, even after we finally drove away from Country's house we stopped at Flying J to dump the tanks and discovered that the running lights on the Jeep were not coming on when towed. That's dangerous as it was midnight by then and there was a lot of dark desert between us and Yuma. Mimi messed with it, with lots of swearing on her back on the hot asphalt, but couldn't fix it. We finally turned them on in the jeep and found that the turn and brake lights still worked from the RV so we left. By that time it was 2am, we got to Yuma just before 6am.

Got up at 11am and got a voice mail that the tires were in at Big O so off we went. Tortuga has all new shoes! 6 new Michelin XPS Ribs in trendy black. We've spent the rest of the day running errands. Got a new wiring cable for the tow and hope that will fix the light problem. Got another awning strap which broke when I tried to open the window awning this morning, 4 months baking in the desert sun seems to have rotted it out. Got an appt for 9am tomorrow to have the generator serviced. Hope to get in to get an alignment tomorrow too.

Henriette (hurricane) came ashore in Guaymas along our route south and there are some reports of damages and flooding so another day before we get there can't hurt. Depending on how long it takes to do the generator and the alignment, we could cross the border tomorrow. I want at least 6 hours of daylight after we cross so we can get out of the border zone. The road runs just below the border east for a couple hundred miles until it connects with the main highway south, we came across on it this spring and it is a good road but I never feel very safe close to the border, on either side. So, we'd want to make that run in daylight and without stopping much. Crossing the border here below Yuma and taking MX2 east is much closer than going north into AZ on I-8 and then back south from Tucson.

More later, hopefully from mi México lindo.
