we just moved here on a permanent basis in March '23 and looking to plug in or start a Old Timey/Clawhammer Jam group in the Foothills area of Yuma.... Anyone else around here interested?

I just moved to Yuma and would love to jam. I play clawhammer and have been doing so for a number of years.

I cant get over people move to Yuma willingly! lol Dunes are fun but man is it hot.

Go to Fretworks and theyll hook you up with places the jams.

Thanks for the info! I will check out Fretworks.
Just jumped into the Colorado River this morning and I might need to make it a daily ritual to stave off the heat here in Yuma.

ya know, i said that often. I grew up in Oregon and we started vacationing here 7 years ago,,, fell in love with the desert and all the riding areas and the 365 days of fishing. Plus got tired of the cold in my bones... yes, it gets hot a couple months, but I still do stuff outside during the day.

Fretworks in Yuma. I have lived in AZ since high school. It is hot 7 or 8 months in the desert below 3500 ft...meaning 90s and capable of 100. I took my kids trick or treating in 98 degrees more than once...lol

I live at 6500 ft elev in the pines and dont envy those down below fom May through Sept.

PSA Be sure to get your annual skin screening. Ive had 2 northern snowbird neighbors pass away from lack of sunscreen and shade in the last year.
