La Fuente Inn And Suites Yuma

... many of the snowbirds have arrived yet. Saw a small herd of wild burros on the way outside of Q'zite. They were the first wildlife we'd come upon in many- a-mile. Our site here at the Park is quite nice with lots of room to spread out and enjoy the weather here this winter.

... feel to it. The three or four blocks of rejuvenated businesses included some antique and curiosity shops, ice cream shops, movie theatre with coffee shop offering drinks with Hollywood stars names, a British pub, a live stage theatre and the billiard hall/restaurant we ate in, Lutes Casino. Lutes Casino was a find in Let’s Go Roadtripping USA. After perusing the menu outside, Jim was fascinated by the Lutes’ Special – a combination hot ...

Today's desert run was more like what you would expect from a Jeep Commercial. While most of the trip was smooth sailing, albeit dusty ...

Spent most of the day downloading pictures from camera to computer to back up hard drive . . . so only had a very short time to get out and shoot a few . . .but the pictures I did get are worth sharing . . Jackie

... these beautiful flowers . . some kind of Poppy or Thistle they looked like . . . And there is this emergency station where if you push the button there will be border patrol with water to pick you up within an hour. .. .. designed specifically for the Mexicans trying to walk across the desert ...

... the desert, but only until you step on a bit of cactus and it goes swiftly through the bottom or sides as if you were bare foot. After the worst time I paid a LOT more attention, and still ended up with thorns in ...

We thought this was quite inconvenient but nothing like when we were in Tuscon(I will take about that later) This town is quite small in population (approx 30,000) which swells to about 200,000 with all ...

Also, three kinds of salsa's. Everything was yummy. We had a good time and good laughs. The people in this park know how to have a good time!!! Then back to the club house and Pokeno.

... discomfort hard to describe. I suggest trying tying a jack hammer to your groin and duck tape the switch in the on position. Get the picture? By the 4th mile, I felt that I'd gone 10 rounds with an angry midget. At mile 86, Adam and Lawrence re-joined us for the ride through Yuma and the final climb/descent through Telegraph Pass. By the time we reached the outskirts of Yuma (at 100 ...

... The Refuge" which by the way has one of the best clubhouses I've been in for a long time, serving "real" beefburgers! The course was pristine (apart from the bunkers; the sand was a bit crusty) and there was only me on it! The houses dotted about the course can only be described as "celebrity price tag".
