Love it so far! - 3/31/2023
I came here to visit, but have decided to buy a house here instead. It seems to be a growing town with everything we need within 5 miles. There is a Smiths Grocery, and a Safeway. The post office is 2 miles away. There is a dollar General, Dollar Tree, three thrift shops, Auto Zone and of course, Walmart. Many restaurants. We have a hospital and a couple of doctors offices, dog groomer and even a small friendly health club. The big box stores are Smart and Final and Sams club in nearby Bullhead City. This city has everything we need or want. Water quality is good. Cost of living no better or worse than anywhere else. Nearby Laughlin has casinos and lots of extras. Love it here as a retirement location, but haven't experienced the summer months

Nine months out of the year the weather is gorgeous. Dry, clean air with the Colorado River winding down the west side of town. Shopping is big box but easy to get to, as is the Community College. There's a River Preserve with a sandy beach to raft or swim. Lots of trail bike and horse trails. Avi Resort is right across the River with gambling, movies, concerts and two for one buffets. It's a quiet, bedroom community out of the glare of Laughlin or Bullhead City. Lots of golfing, too. Very reasonable housing due to the brutal summer months. I make the River my friend

Its a dry heat - 3/4/2013
Desert temperatures are expectably high, and at some few hundred feet above sea level and at the edge of the Mojave Desert, Fort Mo has seen many days topping over 110 degrees F in a row, up to nearly three weeks of 110 to 120 degree heat. This is not reported on the national weather channels, generally. I don't care how dry it is, I've walked around a few hours in August at 120 plus degrees, and it is scary. You feel like your eyeballs are cooking when you ride a motorcycle in this heat. Shower water turned all the way to cold will still be almost too hot to shower in, cause the ground is heating it before it gets to your
