mytoya--spend 9 months in 1966 compliments of the USMC- then went on to much greener pastures(lol)--Got out of the marines in 69 and moved to Palm desert, then to Yucca valley in 1975--My wife and i split in 1992 and I moved to Palm Springs--Got tired of all the traffic and too many people, so moved back home to Iowa--I go back to Yucca once or twice a year to see the grand kids--Only reason I can find to go back there--Richard aka thumbs
