Border Run

Quechan Pool

Jack and I drove down to Winterhaven (CA) yesterday to make a run across the border at Algadones Mexico for some prescriptions. We spent the night at the Quechan Resort Casino where we had a free room courtesy of our Player Rewards card. The  casino is less than a mile from the Mexican border. Lots of people drive over from Yuma Arizona for prescriptions,dental work,glasses,cheap jewelry and yard decorations. They have the best pool! Along with a regular swimming pool they have a "Lazy River" which is a shallow, current driven "river" where you can float on tubes or just lay on your back and get pushed along slowly by the current. Jack had a t-bone steak dinner for $9.99...but he also had a coupon for $10 off dinner,again courtesy of the Players Reward card,so his dinner was free.

It is only about 2 1/2 hours from home  but we left early anticipating extra security at the border in light of the recent demise of Bin Ladin. No problems encountered fortunately.

We leave Sunday morning for Silent Valley RV park in Banning.
