Tom and I went to Yuma Territorial Prison at 100 N. Prison Hill Road. It cost $5/per person and open daily in winter from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. We went inside and look around the prison and while Lawrence wants to stay inside the truck. The prison was digging in solid granite. In 1876, the first seven inmates entered the Territorial Prison at Yuma and were locked into the new cells they had built themselves. A total of 3,069 prisoners, including 29 women, lived within the walls during the prison’s 33 years of operation. Severe overcrowding forced its closure on September 15, 1909. By the time we come out from the prison it was almost 5:00 p.m.
We drove around the looking for food we want to eat. Finally I saw a Long John Slivers at 2970 South 4th Avenue. I order Family Pack included 4 chicken and 4 fish plank plus large cold slaw and 12 hush puppies for only $10, added 8 shrimp/fries for $4 and popshop snack for $1.99 and small drink for $1.39. After we finished eating the food, we still have some two chickens and one fish and 5 Hush pup left over for next day to eat. Then we went to the Yuma Southgate Mall, which was the smallest mall I have never visited. Inside the mall there was a Burlington Coat Factory, we walked around and checked the jacket and prices are not cheap. But I found a nice Jean for only $6.99, so that was the only thing I bought for myself. Tom drove to the U-Haul again to fill up our water buckets then we went to Barney’s gas station to fill up our small gas tank. After that we went back to our trailer.
