We scheduled one more stop before heading home – Yuma, AZ. We actually stayed in Winterhaven at Encore/Thousand Trails Pilot Knob RV Resort ~10mi from Yuma. I wanted to photograph the Imperial Sand Dunes, specifically the dunes in the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness Area. This RV park is about an hour from the dunes wilderness area.
We have stayed at a few Thousand Trails/Encore RV parks and they are usually pretty nice, with many amenities. This one was really barebones, a gravel ‘parking-lot’ with only a few shaded spots. Because there were plenty of sites, we found one with a little shade but enough sky for Starlink. If we were to stay in the area again, I would probably try the Rivers Edge RV Resort. We drove into Yuma several times for fuel (much cheaper), shopping, and meals so staying on that side of the CA/AZ border is more convenient.
There is an interesting point-of-interest directly across the 8 freeway – the Center of the World Museum. We are going to check it out tomorrow before heading to the dunes. Photographing the dunes later in the day is usually more interesting – early in the day or late in the day improves the shadow/hightlights.
