Off To Yuma….Gold….And Mexico!

January 10, 2014 by libertatemamo 68 Comments

We’ve made it to our next stop and yet another great boondocking spot. The town of Yuma, AZ sits right on the Mexican border and is a rather “hot” winter RV spot. Thousands of RVers come here, most of them cramming into massive RV parks that line the highway into (and out of) town. It’s the draw of consistently mild winter weather, inexpensive parks and  a good-sized town with just about everything you’d need that brings the crowds. Plus, there’s Los Algodones just across the way.We come for ALL those reasons, but we prefer to eschew the sardine-packs and park out in the wilds just west of town on Ogilby Road by the dark & alluring Cargo Muchacho Mountains.

The moonscape of Ogilby Road

This is where we find our peace. The boondocking site here is not nearly as attractive as our last spot at Borrego Springs. The roads are drearily flat apart from near the mountains, and on that side you’re presented with shockingly dark hills that are covered in unforgiving rocks. It’s like a moonscape gone wild. But there’s a few particular things which make this place rather special. First it’s HUGE and that means it’s super easy to find a spot all to yourselves even if you’re “beast-size”. That’s a boon for those looking to escape…and hide…if only just for a while. We totally enjoyed the rush of community & social activity in Borrego Springs this past month, but right now this is exactly what we need -> a spot where we can hang, play and even dance naked (if we so wish) without the risk of sending our neighbors into a comatose shock. We typically drive pretty far back into this area and tuck into a super-private site by the hills, and when we arrived yesterday our usual spot was empty with not another RV in sight. Perfect!

The other draw is the GOLD. Oh yeah baby….there’s gold in them thar hills. The chocolate-colored hills got their name, so it’s told, from two young Mexican boys who found gold ore in the hills and came back with their shirts loaded = the muchachos cargados (loaded boys) thus giving the name to the range. If you spend enough time knocking around here you’ll meet old-timers who’ve bought-up small parcels of land and spend the winter seeking treasure from their trailers. Plus American Girl Mine, just down the road, is active again after many years dormant. Two years ago I noticed the land was listed for sale for a bargain $3 million. Clearly that was low enough for someone to snap it up and today the spot is a buzz of activity with trucks carting loads of “stuff” out of the pit. And then of course, there’s the fabulous Tumco Ghost Town, a total “must see” for anyone in the area. If you love ghost stories, old mines & the gold & glittery stuff you’ll love this spot!

So, you never know baby….we might get lucky. I have our gold-sniffing cats on the case and expect great things. After all, there’s gotta be a reason I fed them all these years, right??!!

Taggart sniffs for gold
On the "hunt"

But of course the other reason to come here is Los Algodones. We moved our yearly dental check-ups to Mexico last year, something many RVers do and save (on average) 2/3 on their dental costs. Last year I got a new root canal and crown, finally fixing a botched-up root canal that I’d had many, many years ago. All was fine with the root canal, but my gums had changed around the crown (they’d drawn back over the past year leaving a small gap underneath). I knew this coming in because I’d noticed some food getting stuck under the edge of the crown over the past few months. This is not an unusual thing and is just something you deal with in dental work => not all mouths (and gums) heal the same and changes happen along the way.

My dentist confirmed my diagnosis when I got in yesterday and, even though it wasn’t strictly necessary to fix it, offered to re-do the porcelain crown for the lab costs ($100) for a better fit. So, once again, I have a gap in my mouth and will get a brand new (and even better, I hope) fitting crown next week. I’m not at all worried about this and I’m still perfectly happy with my dentist Dr. Eva Urena. She took her time carefully removing the old crown, took two impressions of my teeth for a more accurate fit and was very detailed in what was going to happen. Her cleaning was once again somewhat faster than I like, but she got the stains off my teeth and they look good. Paul also had a cleaning & will get a small filling for his very first (EVER) cavity when I go back for the new crown next week.

Dentists advertised everywhere!
Paul "in the chair" at Dr.Eva Urena
Tacos anyone?
Walking across the border into Los Algodones

So, after a year I don’t have much to add to my Mexico dental posts. The border parking has increased by $1 to $6, but otherwise my experience & impressions are the same. We’re happy with our Mexico dentist and plan to keep Los Algodones for all our main dental work going forward. My posts from last year are here:

  • Getting Dental Work In Mexico Part I – Clarifying Myths & Facts
  • Getting Dental Work In Mexico Part II – Our Los Algodones Experience

That’s about it from the boonies of Yuma. We’ll be doing a few select activities over the next week while we wait for my gums to heal, but otherwise we’ll be mostly lounging & gold-digging (just for good measure). Then, once I’m all prettied up again we’ll be headed to Quartzsite and the big show. The rest of winter will be more of the same. We expect to boondock and knock around Arizona right up until the weather changes and then we’ll be heading north. Adios amigos…if you don’t hear from me again it’s because the cats hit the jackpot.

P.S. By the way, a fun little aside. If you google “Ogilby Road” the first two images that pop up are Polly checking out an old mining site and our rig boondocked on the road. And if you try “American Girl Mine” you’ll get a shot of Paul by the mining pit. Try it! I guess we’re popular on Google images, in a very, very small way LOL.

P.P.S. No images coming through on the e-mail feeds (as usual) so click on through to see the shots.

        How long and where are you going to be in Quartzsite?? We are leaving Why on the 20th Jan and heading to Plomosa Rd in Q for an Alpine Coach rally and the shows. Maybe we will see you there!

        Another question : Have you ever boondocked at Hot Wells Dunes near Safford AZ? Just wondering if a big rig can get in there.

          We’re not really sure how long we’ll be staying at Q. We have tentative plans to roll-in this week-end and maybe stay a week or so. We’ll be with the Monaco Group in La Posa South.

          We’ve never boondocked at Hot Wells Dunes so can’t comment unfortunately. If you do go let us know!

    I was very impressed with Dr. Urena when I saw her for some dental work in December– one of the most honest, detail-oriented dentists I’ve ever been to. Thanks for your original posts on Algodones and for recommending her! I’m spending the winter in Mexico (down in Mazatlan right now) and I must say the weather and people here have been absolutely phenomenal! RVers really need to put Mexico back on their list of great places to RV!

    We will be in the Quartzsite area around that same time–we like to camp over near the little town of Bouse, about 25 miles from Quartzsite and much quieter. There is also the little community park in Bouse which allows you to dump and fill with water, last time we were there it was $10. I am heading to Arkansas January 23 leaving the cowboy and Emmi to fend for themselves.

        SaniDental http://sanidentalgroup.com/index.html They were good, I had one tooth could not be saved and needed extraction but was fused to the jaw bone, they had a oral surgeon on staff Alejandro Barragán, nice guy and performed the operation same day. He also had me in for some free follow up appointments to make sure it all healed well. It’s healed nicely and my crowns are all good, my wife Anne does have a problem with one crown not fitting right so we’ll see what they will do this time about that.

    I will be in Yuma.. Winterhaven for a couple days and want to
    go to Algodones.. you said parking is $6 .. is the parking area
    easy to find? Also, do you walk or ride a bus/shuttle over? how
    far is the walk & then to town? I have a sort of on/off hurting
    knee and would love to do the town and lunch… any suggestions, advice would be helpful. I have my Passport and ID etc.

      The parking is super easy to find. It’s the very last turnoff before the border crossing and is literally right at the border. It takes less than 5 mins to walk from the parking into Mexico. Everyone walks across so just follow the crowds. The dentists are all within a small 4-5 block area of the border. Remember your passport for the crossing back and just enjoy!

    Wow, they raise that parking toll 20% every year.

    Whenever I visit Los Algodones for my yearly dental checkup, I always park my truck at the free casino lot and then ride my bike over the border and back. Much cheaper, faster, and healthier (as long as I don’t get hit by some old fogey looking for the $6 parking lot 🙂

      The cats actually stay very close to us and will “walk” with me and the dog. We leash-trained them years ago and if we’re in a spot with cars we’ll put them on the leash. The rest of the time they’ll just walk leash-free right next to me. The cats are older now, so mostly they’ll just walk for a short time and then sun on the chairs by the RV.

      We never, ever leave them unattended outside 🙂

          The cats hide in a box under the bed covers (in our bedroom in the back) while we drive. They never move around, but we close the door back there just in case (so they don’t get out if we stop for gas, for example). It’s where they prefer to be. We tried cat bags when we first started, but they wouldn’t stop howling. Once we put them under the bed covers they relaxed completely. They’ll typically sleep the whole drive and get out to stretch once we have the rig set-up in our new location.

      Yup, the little birdie is right. In fact I’m starting my planning right now. It’ll be our first real time exploring WA so we’re really looking forward to it!

      Hi Shawna,
      We’ve got some packed days ahead of us these next few days (both with trips & visitors), but you’re welcome to drop by if you see us hanging outside.

    Love that silhouette of Polly checking out the lovely sunset. 🙂 We are anxious to try out your dentist the next time we are out west, which will not be soon enough for us! Our only experience in Yuma while RVing was not too positive so I told Terry we should give it another try and do it differently next time. Perhaps we will change our minds about the town.

      Yeah, I think your bad experience was a direct tie to the sardine-park you stayed in. I imagine you’d feel very differently about the whole place out here. Hope to see your butts out west again!

    I came to your site from Rvsue….and have been here for hours(not kidding!). I am retired so I can do this. I have just completed the first year and it like reading a good book that you can’t put down. Only when my mouse(hand) started shaking from low blood sugar did I stop. Of course 1 or 2 trips to the loo(I am a senior citizen)did I stop reading. Sounds almost obsessive but so what! My last trips to east coast campgrounds were noisy (kids, barking dogs and drunks)so I had given up on camping and sold my camper (an Aliner pop-up). But your blog has me rethinking the situation. Unlike most of your readers I really like my “brick and mortar” place, but reading your blog is an adventure novel for me. Keep up the good work.

      Welcome to the blog…and love the obsessive reading LOL! Hope the blog didn’t endanger your health too badly. I think RVing in the West is a whole different ballgame than RVing in the East. I really enjoyed our Year 1 travel to FL, but I have to admit we’re partial to the wide open spaces out here. Lots more space (and less noise) if you want it. Thanks for following along!

    Do you have an dentists you recommend for root canals? Or does dr urena do root canals as well?

      Dr.Urena will send you out for a root canal. I would call and ask her who she is currently using and see if you can find any recommendations on them. Otherwise I’d call around some of the other groups to see if they do onsite root canals.

    Update: Dr Eva says hello. Got my teeth cleaned (for $35) the other day. When she asked who referred us I mentioned your name and she said “Nina is so famous”….cute. She mentioned they like it when Paul comes as he is fluent in Spanish(where did he pick that up??). Anyway, she sends big holas and abrazos. We are boondocking just off American Girl Mine Road for a couple days before heading West….and the mine surely IS active….a truck of some sort goes by about every 15 minutes!! So not the quiet place it used to be…..sad. Anyway, thought you might enjoy the update and the Hola from Dr Eva. Pam and I enjoyed our Algodones adventure….Best from Am Girl Mine Road. (Sunny and 92 degrees)

      How cute! Cheers for relaying the hello. Paul is Cuban so he is a fully fluent in Spanish. Very handy for our Mexico trips 🙂

      Sorry to hear about the increase in traffic on American Girl Mine…we may have to move further up the BLM next time we go there.

    Thanks for your wonderful blog. It sure helped in my research for a dentist in Mexico. Going to try Dr. Eva in the next couple of weeks.
