The Golden Knights

Left Clear Lake the middle of September just as it was turning cooler.  First stop Las Vegas, NV for a bit of rest and relaxation and to try our hands at a few slot machines.  Lady Luck didn't smile on us,  but we were able to get out of town before too much damage was done to our funds.
From Vegas, we headed on down to just outside Yuma, Arizona to the Army's Yuma Proving Grounds where we'll spend the next four months.  Drove in on a sweltering 106 degree day and wondered why we had left Clear Lake. Then we remembered that winter day time temperatures here can't be beat. 
Lots of history here at YPG (The Proving Grounds), and it's such great fun to be here when the Army's Golden Knights parachute team comes in for training.  Free shows every day.
