Damm. sounds like San Diego

You're hours from a major city...(that can be good and bad)
You get snowbirds for half the year.

Shall I go on? LOL

Are these snowbirds good eating, I like to hunt.

Hello my husband just received a job offer from Yuma and i was wondering about the housing we lived there a long time ago on the base. We both like fishing and the outdoors. And enjoy cookouts with friends, we hope to make some good friends there.

I love our snowbirds. But . . . if you've never heard this song, you must.

This I will say about Yuma: people either really like it or flat hate the place.

I was there once in late 2003; and to be honest, I was very surprised--------in the good sense.

I expected to see dusty roads with no sidewalks, etc. Got there and said: OMG; this is a real city with things like decent shopping, etc. I had to replace my cellphone that day and the Sprint store was quite helpful

OK: I know about the heat (worse than the Phx area), just that I must be a desert rat at heart

The one thing that did concern me was all the aviation fuel being burned by the military aircraft.

All in all; if I were to move back to the Colorado River, I would give Yuma a shot
