KOFA at Yuma
Here's our site at the KOFA resort in Yuma, AZ. KOFA stands for King of Arizona which was a mining company in the area. This is an Escapees co-op park where you can lease a 45x75 lot. You can see the lease-holders storage in the background. They put the lot in a rental pool when they're not there.
We've been in Yuma before and it could be one of our longer winter stops. I read that Yuma is the 3rd fastest growing city in the country and it's really expanded since we were here about 18 months ago. For 8 months of the year the weather is great...all this week we'll be 85 high, 60 low. June - September though the average high is over 100...must be a ghost town here then.
We are about 8 miles from the town center, in the boonies of agriculture and irrigation. Yuma has a large water allocation, of which they use only about 50% which is another reason for the area growth.
We had our post office adventure today. We stood in line at the PO for 10 minutes and then found that they did not have General Delivery so we needed to go to the main PO on the other side of town...10 miles the other way. After 20 minutes in that line we got our mail. Yeah! It's impossible to tell on the Internet which PO in a town is the main one. Last time through I guessed right. Wish I'd looked at my old records!
We were entertained during this wait by an older lady (80 but she could have beat me out at a race) who had worked at the PO for 35 years. She had recently retired and I think she just was there to sit and complain about the poor service since she left. We listened politely to her litany of complaints against the government, education and immigrants then asked her how to get to the nearest Wells Fargo.
We had a tasty dinner of store broasted chicken, buttered green beans, white wine, ice cream and a movie...My Cousin Vinny. We're now into a few select songs from our 6000 song collection. What a life!
