Remembering YPG

It's almost that time to pack up and leave Yuma, T-Minus 14 days. We have really enjoyed our family time here, and the people at the post have become very close and dear friends. It is hard to believe we came here three years ago as a family of four and leave as a family of five with an almost six-year-old, four-year-old, and almost two-year-old (give him another week). We will truly miss Yuma for the great place it has been for us. Sure, we're NOT going to miss the 120 degree heat and the RV parade of snowbirds every winter, but Yuma, YPG specifically, has been a great post for us. Nowhere else do you know every neighbor, walk to everything, and have the amount of family time we have had. Thank you YPG for being a good fit for our family. For all of our family and friends who never had the chance to travel here, these are some pictures of the post entrance, five miles down from the housing area, just at the main highway turnoff.

We will miss the "beauty" of the Chocolate Mountains (really, that's their name).

Never a cloud in the sky...Yuma is the sunniest city in the U.S., and I can't remember the last time we had rain.

For anyone who has been on the phone with Edward or me as we drive into town, you are probably familiar with the "Dead Zone," the spot where all cell service drops no matter what. Well, the "Dead Zone" is the mountain directly behind this sign.
