Raised in southern California, but moved to the White Mountains of Arizona (6300' El.) and spent 25 years there. Met wife, married, and raised kids there. Moved to the desert of Phoenix about 12 years ago for better job opportunities, but kept our place on 6 acres in the mountains. That's where my heart is, here in the desert is where my azz is. It's all good. I do love the desert now, but can't wait (10 more years) till I can retire and move home.
