Lower River is closed. We decided to patrol for rule breakers and found one stand up Jetski. We let him off with stern warning.

Love your boat! Kind of a whaler without being a whaler :)
Thanks man! A lot of hours/years of love and creative vision went into my MerKaBa. Getting warm down here again, we'd hit the river today and camp the weekend but as you probably know, the lower river is closed ;)

If you're wondering, yes... this makes it VERY slow and difficult to get into the airport [emoji2360][emoji38] Still VERY cool to see. Welcome to Phoenix, Mr. Pence! #airforce2 #vicepresidentpence View attachment 803687

In the 1990's Clinton met the Russians in Vancouver for a summit. Thought it would be the only chance to see Air Force One in person. It was cool...…………

Lechuga season! If you eat Lettuce and most other veggies in the winter it came from here! No farms, No food!

Always looking for project trucks. The Res usually has some good prospects. Hard part is to get them to sell em. Got a lot of rigs off the Res in the past.

Are those tacos from the vender on main street to the right as you go in? Down a little way's on the left?

Yes. Turn right at the purple pharmacy, halfway down on the other side of the street. Right in front of the little plaza with curio shops and a few Dentists. The absolute shit!

Yep, that's the place. Best in the world IMO. Occasionally they had tamales that were the same size as a softball and those were superb also. I've seen a line 20 people deep on the sidewalk waiting for food. Damn, now I have to make a plan to get back down there since it's cooled off.

Those look TASTY!! I wish there was a good fish taco place around me. Used to be Pepes had killer fish tacos on Strand but they suck now. Those you have remind me of La Bufadora in El Monte. We'd stop there EVERYTIME we'd take the boat to @B&DMarine INSANE tacos / food.

You will NOT be disappointed. Best fish tacos I've ever had in my life and that includes Mexico, Florida, Hawaii, etc etc.

Hit me up if you come down. I can and have taken people on a taco crawls that is beyond comprehension. Born and raised in Yuma, I know where every good taco of every kind hides. We have killer Mexican hot dogs as well as traditional cuisine resturaunts too. Different vendors offer slightly different twists on tacos, all phenomenal! Area includes Algodones, Yuma, Somerton, San Luis AZ. and San Luis RCM. Bring an appetite, you'll need a good one!
Tamales? Check out The annual Somerton Tamale Festival. Tamale heaven for a day and night!
Only thing that sucks with Algodones is the Snowbirds mob the town in the winter for their dental work and scrip drugs. Lines back across can be insane!
Yuma is fast becoming the taco mecca USA. Seems there's a stand or shop on every corner and in between now. More pop up every month and they all seem to make money. Crazy!

Edit: Invite goes for anyone on RDP, hit me up on a taco crawl if in town. It means I get to eat some too! :D

Geyacht Dayum them look sublime!
They really are. Super bummed I live so far away. Anytime I drive out that way what-so-ever I make a detour to stop there. Super fresh. Sofaking good! Little hole in the wall place in a strip mall right next to the airport. Tacos La Bufadora.

Had a great lunch and now we are settled for the weekend. Just waiting for our son to arrive for the festivities. Last weekend for my wife on the mainland before she goes back to Hawaii after 3 months.
