What to do in Yuma, AZ?

I'll be on a business trip all next week to Yuma, AZ. What's to do in the off hours?

Take a dump out in the dunes.

What off time?? All of the testing that I have been involved in at Yuma runs from O'dark thirty until late at night. 14-16 hours days are typical. Locals work 5 AM until 2 PM to avoid the hot afternoons. Visitors and testers not so lucky. ;) Its about a 30 minute or longer trip from the test ranges back to the hotel area. Lots of good South Western and Mexican restaurants. Take a book and enjoy the air conditioning at the hotel or take a dip in the courtyard pool.

Here's some other stuff >>>>> http://yumazone.com/todo.htm

BTW - The 3:10 to Yuma now runs at 4:25. ;)

Tombstone is four hours away if you had that kind of time.

Closer to 5 hours ... twice as far as Phoenix, AZ. You can see everything in Tombstone is less than 2 hours including lunch. Not much there.

That's a great link Charlie...thank you! Yeah I probably won't have much down time, but I've gotta try to squeeze something in.

There's no trees to lean on, and if I tip over accidentally, how will I explain burnt cheeks?

That's your problem, just think of it as a huge litter box.

If you have the time, I highly recommend a trip tp Tucson, I know it's like 4 hours, but that's where Davis Monthan AFB is and the airplane graveyards. It's definitely one of the coolest places I've ever been, and they give tours.

Trip is postponed for a few weeks...

It'll probably be even hotter then, every time i've been to Yuma i just wanted to die. The territorial prison was interesting though.
