Pilot Knob, California desert

This is a leftover from early December 2012.  We stayed at Pilot Knob near Winterhaven, California while visiting friends.

This is a portion of the border fence between the U.S. and Mexico.





A look at the parking lot where we park when we go to Los Algodones, Mexico.
We went into old Yuma for a quick bit of shopping and a drink.  Ran into this 'criminal' - LeRoy really doesn't have four arms, but I missed the fact the standup already had two.
 
Our friend Leo led us out into the sand dunes.  What fun but a bit more of a thrill than I expected with the 'tilt' on the sides.
The first tarantula I have seen in California.
We took a third ride out to see an area where people have written in the desert with rocks.  The area was huge.  One writing had a few solar lights.

 A nice rock formation and then into a little canyon.

 
And another tarantula!
