10/25/2007 Yuma, AZ-Go Ron Paul!

Category: Stops

But I am saving the best for last: I have a new friend and sponsor in Yuma. The Bow and Arrow on Target Motel. It is a real hole in the wall and only recommended to those who like rustic, cheap hospitality. But what hospitality! When I first came up the lady of the house was a bit reluctant to rent me a room. I had been riding through town and saw that the place had $25 rooms and decided it looked like a place to crash cheaply. I don’t think they rent to tourists much and she might have thought I would want something nicer. But after talking a bit she warmed up and as she kept glancing at my shirt and signs I mentioned RP and gave here a DVD and two flyers. From then on it was smooth sailing, we talked for an hour about the state of the world and she was quite impressed with the slim jim and mentioned that this guy seems to have the integrity that has been missing from politics for too long. After she went to talk to her husband, she came back and said she wanted to help me. She rented me the room for $1, then after I asked where I could catch a bite she insisted on cooking for me.
