As the temperature today in
Yuma Arizona soared to 109 degrees today, most people may be thinking it would be crazy
to plan a trip to such a desert. But
please remember that it is a dry heat and in February the weather is
perfect. When the blizzards are blowing
in Minnesota and those in Wyoming are attempting to find a way to get their
frozen car doors open, Yuma is living up
to it’s reputation of being the ‘Sunniest City in the United States’.
Before I talk about the event, just let me tell you about
the caching world that surrounds Yuma.
First – Yuma has over 2000 caches within a 50 mile radius. There is something for everyone including
night, desert, water, mountain, puzzle and the biggest TB Hotel you have ever
seen.
Accommodations - There are a ton of RV parks in the area for
those who travel in their home away from home.
Yuma has a more than adequate number of reasonable priced hotels.
Recreation – besides the caching you can keep yourself
occupied and out of trouble with water sports on the river, quick trip across
the border to Los Algodones for some great Mexican food (don’t forget the
required passport to return home) and historic sights galore.
If you haven’t been to Yuma in the past, you now know a few
little tid bits about the city.
