There are a few good VW people in Yuma and a decent annual VW show down by the river too. Be patient they'll crawl out from underneath the rocks their using to stay cool sometime after sundown. ;)

At the Classic I heard someone say living in Yuma is like living in Iraq with the heat and the sand.

I go through Yuma to get to the south end of the Imperial Sand Dunes where I ride on my 1985 ATC250r. October thru May is the dune season and it is a real blast...It is about 20 minutes to Gordons Well and Buttercup. I moved to Phoenix from Florida just to be closer to the dunes.

If you dont ride ATC's or ATV's there are lots of sand rails that also run those dunes; some acvw's and some radical v-8 sand rails. There is not much there otherwise and it is hot this time of year. In the winter there are lots of retirees as the weather is really nice.

In Georgia it gets hot and humid, in Yuma it is not humid but gets well into the triple digits. Dry heat whatever 115 is HOT. You will be very close to the Mexico border for what that is worth.

Montana seems awful close to the Mexican border nowadays.

There is a cool group of people in Yuma that attends shows all over Arizona and California. Not sure how many of them go online though.

Nobody waves here in Yuma, because trucks get stolen.

I met two separate couples trying to move here from Yuma. One couple wants to only spend summers here. (with it only getting to the mid 90s in summer here, I can see why)
