Connie and Dave invited us to go for a Segway tour of old town Yuma with them and Connie's sister, who was visiting them at the time. The segway people were offering a special price for a group, so we took advantage of that.
We all went for breakfast in a neat old rail car that has been turned into a restaurant. Then it was off to have a quick lesson and onto the Segway tour. It was very interesting and a lot of fun. Those things are easy to run. Craig was a little apprehensive at first, but he got the hang of it soon enough.
Then we all took a drive out to the Imperial Sand Dunes. There is a replica of an old plank road displayed that was used to drive across the desert sands in the old days. When the planks got buried in the sand, they would just pull them up and carry on.
The new wall on the border between Mexico and the US can be seen from that area also. It gets buried by the drifting sands as well. The sections then get lifted up until they are on top of the sand again.
