thinking about Arizona next year

Well, to each his own. I stayed in Yuma for 3 nights in a "Resort", which didn't even offer a picnic table, just a gravel parking lot with big B busses on either side. A younger crowd?? Most of the people there were, I'm sorry to say, bordering on senility. Driving around in their golf carts. I hope they don't think they were camping. I couldn't wait to get out of there. And the only trails were to the washrooms at Walmart.

Travel around the state, do a scouting mission, and make up your mind. Good luck. (OK now I'll have a beer and calm down.)
