face. Don't want to call him paper mache' man so we'll just call him the Yuma Man. Mr. Yuma Man stands tall near a Target off the main drag.

a few years ago.

This roadside statue greets visitors to the Picacho Peak Trading Post. This place is a can't miss sight off the I-10 and worth a stop on a trip to or from Tucson. Or at least it used to be. Unfortunately, the trading post burned down back in 2002 with the friendly greeter melting in the blaze. 02-10
