Salome



Salome is a very small town, north of Yuma and west of Phoenix. There is one food market, a very crowded grocery/hardware store, the Cactus Bar and Restaurant and not much else. The large well developed RV park is a surprise to people when they arrive, as Salome looks almost deserted and most certainly run down.

The first time we found this place we were amazed that the Desert Palms RV Park and Golf Course could survive in this isolated area. The park offers many of the same amenities the parks in Yuma offer as it has a pool, library and a clubhouse used for social gatherings.

We golfed 18 holes today and tried to keep up with Lenore who golfed a 39 on the front nine. Up until this year, the course was a '10 hole' perfectly maintained course, but now that they have opened the 'back 8' holes, the course is in need of a few good rains. Even so, the views were great and the weather was ideal for a round of golf. Tomorrow may be more of the same!
