The One Day Tour of Yuma

When we were at Quartzsite, the Meyers joined us and since they had never been to Yuma, we decided to give them the quarter tour.  Of course, we had to stop at the little church along highway 95.

And harvest is always a worth a look.

I still love how they plant the leaf lettuce - ready for the salad bowl.

 

While Lonny and Lee visited the Territorial Prison, I checked out the new park and watched the trains.

By this time, it was time for lunch and what trip to Yuma is complete without a stop at Lutes.

 

You never know what you are going to see at Lutes...

Our next stop was the town of Felicity - known for its "History of the World in Granite.  We were lucky in that a young man was hard at work.

Now how often are you going to see a church and naked man all in one picture...

Every year, the work becomes more complete.  And it is a good bargain, they have lowered the price to $3 a person.

Since we were so close to the border, and because they didn't have passports with them, we did a little off roading and showed them Algodones from the river.  That is the multimillion dollar fence you see.

This is "Grandma's" neighborhood as viewed from the U.S. - we were so close that I am confident we were on the border patrol's radar.

The day trip to Yuma was completed at Shield's Date Gardens where I was too busy enjoying my malt to take any pictures but this one of a freshly watered rose.

It was fun to show good friends a bit of our life along the side roads.
