Thanks for the detailed info!

I’ll cut and paste it into a file, because although I think I will be able to find it again I know I wont. After cataract surgery, then I will redouble my efforts into relocating.

Thanks to the www, it's easy to do major research ahead of time, learning the demographics about the areas or towns that might interest you, and real estate can be searched for and tracked just as easily. I recommend the central-eastern area of AZ, because I have lived and worked there, albeit many moons ago. Show Low, Pinetop, and Lakeside were where I lived, and worked, and McNary being my only workplace on the rez.

There is a ski lodge at Big Lake on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation, and a mountain that is the fifth highest peak, and the second highest range in AZ; Mt. Baldy, at 11,409', with immense hiking trails and breathtaking views.
