I was in Yuma last week when they announced due to lack of funds they are closing the Territorial state prison tourist attraction, its really a great place with lots of history I always make a point of going to see it and it will be a sad day when if it does close. The problem in Arizona is the cost of the Border protection service, they are everywhere! While driving from Las Vegas to Yuma I was stopped three times at check stops, at one of them there was a huge military looking truck with a machine gun mounted on top, at the Mexican border there was about 6 cars and 20 or so officers watching the river, this is costing the state millions of dollars and something has to give.
