Next up was an overnight stop at the Quechan Casino in Winterhaven, CA. At least that was what we thought until Joani confirmed our reservation in Yuma. We had one day less at Borrego Springs State Park than we had planned which meant we needed to stay two nights at the casino. We left the state park by the southern route via Borrego Springs Road to Hwy 78 which was infinitely better pavement than the northern route on S-22. The day's drive was 125.2 miles (81,463.7 miles total) and actually quite pleasant (compared to our drive into the park).
I was surprised by the crowd at the casino. I would guess there were more than a hundred RVs taking advantage of the free overnight parking. It made more sense when we realized it was only a few miles to the Mexico border and about a thousand dentists, opticians and pharmacies in Algodones. Obviously, two nights here was not going to be a problem - I suspect a lot of people were settled in for weeks at a time.
