Clayton Fairchild Passed away March 20, 2008. He will be missed at Coles Corner and this page is being left as it is to remember Clay, if someone wants to build a new site feel free to do so. Updates to the photo gallery will continue as pictures are sent to me.

Coles Corner is located on the Colorado River, just south of the Yuma Proving Grounds, home of the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute team, and the Senator Wash long term camping area. The area is known for great fishing for very large catfish in both the Colorado River and the All American Canal. The area is rich with history, as gold was first discovered in California just over the Bard Valley mountain on the old Spanish Trail. Geodes are found in the diggings across the canal. Several Museums based on local history, are near Coles Corner, Castle Dome City is a reconstructed ghost town with artifacts pulled up from deep in the local mines, including an original pair of Levi's dating back to 1880(see the history page). Cloud Museum holds early farm equipment and automobiles.

Coles Corner first opened in the early 1950's and was purchased by Clayton and lilly Fairchild in 1982. Back in the old days they had had a gas station and lowball poker. Today Coles Corner has many events to bring pleasure to the locals as well as the winter visitors, Saturday Karaoke , live music on Sunday afternoons, fish frys, pot lucks on holidays and other times just because we feel like it.
