Snowbirds and Coyotes.
Phoenix and Tucson are at the lowest altitude in the state. Phoenix is dead center in the Valley of the Sun. The humidity is low so the heat-related illnesses sneak up on you. But touching anything with a matte-black surface during a summer day is like touching a red-hot stove. You could easily fry an egg on the pavement.
In the mountains and Grand Canyon areas, it’s much cooler. But still dry.
Arizona will cut you if you aren’t careful! ...But it’s still a great state!
Can you guys at least start electing better Senators?
Sounds great, good luck.
Yes, dry heat for “aliens” but there are also too many leftists in the state which is why comrade Krysta Sinema (D-AZ) got elected to Congress and might run for the Senate.

Trying. Cant believe we got TWO lemons! Hopefully this will change by January 2019
Good luck. Turn NM red!
That vs 1/2 million when I was born there (the vast majority of those in the Salt River Valley - Phoenix). Growing up and living in a low population state was great.
everyone carries and nobody locks their doors...flags everywhere...traditional Christmas lighting...
I wish. Yes, move out here. Flag is nice.... College town so it’s Liberal.

Highest cost of living in AZ. Don’t forget the “Paradise Tax”. After 30 years there I can declare 90% of Flag’s population can attest to that ‘Poverty with a view’ is spot on.

I’ve been a Christian faith and freedom fighter for the grace of Christ and the restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic for decades. I was born and raised in the cradle of Leftism, Palo Alto, CA. How would I now turn Left at Albuquerque? I don’t think so.
Yes. Apache Jct. Good time of year to be out there.
LOL. True.
Open carry is very common in Payson, where I lived as an adult. Sounds like you had fun before fun was outlawed! We used to ride in the back of my dad’s pickup truck all the way to Apache Lake along the Apache Trail. That drive is still AWESOME.
We have some wilderness areas, but the big areas that were ranches and undeveloped now have no trespassing signs or are developed. Also state parks are overrun. There are some areas in the panhandle, maybe, but lawyers and liability replaced the days of letting a 14 yr old with a 20 gauge single shot go dove hunting along the fence lines.
You got that right. I live and represent Northwest AZ. Southern AZ is coming after our Colorado River allocations with big money. We are fighting it all the way.
How many times before you got involved in the county some of us went and talked to the people around Kingman to start digging collection ponds to catch the run off from the monsoons.
The ignorance is unreal as they felt that it costs to much. Try and explain to these good ol boys that the water under that ground isnt going to last. NOOOO! We aint gonna do it! It costs to much! And all the GD stupid excuses you could imagine.
95% of that water from those monsoons evaporate-left to go right back up into the thin air.
Take for example the Sacramento Wash here in GV. Dig a couple collection ponds DEEP and narrow and let gravity do its job and run that water into special tanks to be filtered. Or simply line the ponds and let it stand to filter into the ground.
NOPE! cant do that! Thats to darn easy. GD government money grubbing bastards they were.
Gimme a excavator and I would show them how to do it. But they cant have someone outsider doing that can they?
You got the honor of fighting for water rights they took for granted.
In a few years, this valley runs out of water if they allow more settlement.
Now you got me going again.
Take a ride to Kingman and up towards Rancho Santa Fe-east of H’ Mtn Road-near the LDS church there is a collection pool-I have personally seen that pool over 1/4 full as the kids got out and plugged off the outlet with plywood. They about had a fit and got down there and pulled the plywood out. WHY? Let it sit and soak in.
Funny as hell, those kids were swimming and having a grand time in there.
Why in the hell cant they make those pools all over the hillsides in those washes and let gravity feed that water to tanks where it can be filtered and stored? They dont even need pumps for the love of Pete.
Now you try and explain that to these geeks. We did, and all we got was the usual dumb look and a bag full of excuses.
