4 months after leaving California for Arizona - After action report

[toro1]

OP, Where is the picture with the water tower and tanks taken? Is that the Camp Wood area?

BTW, One garage sale had a Barrett BMG for sale. Out of my price range, but it was great to see it there.

Nice write up. You should post up some truck pics on the 5thgen forums (Rob5589)

Haha! Fancy meeting you here

I really like the area around there but they have a huge water problem. I've thought about buying there and I still do. I'm afraid that anything I buy will crash in value. I'm not worried about myself as much as I am my kids. I'd like to leave them something of value.

I've yet to see a water study done saying we have a water problem. The water reports I've read say, we are good to go. Lots of people say the water problem is more a political argument that locals started....maybe to keep people out.

This is out by the Buddhist temple in the hills. I've been exploring this area mostly and haven't even done much driving on the Prescott side of the National Forest yet.

Let's do it! I've been keeping an eye out in the Prescott thread for the next meet My son has been fully bitten by the gun bug since moving out here. He's picked up a handgun and is building his AR right now. We go shooting almost once a week out in forest land.

Thank you. We have two cats and they are both loving the space out here.

make sure they are indoor cats. Coyotes like the small meal
Congrats on you OP

I'm 41. I put my plan in motion about 10 years ago.

1 step at a time. Keep your eye on the prize.

Good for you. I was the same way, could not wait till retirement, freedom/Liberty was calling for me

[PogoJack]

Since you aren't that far away... planning any trips to Gunsite?

I went into my local cigar shop to re-stock my humidor and came out with a new Glock 48!

Welcome to Az. You must have found Mazy's.

Correct

Couple of weeks ago I went in for some cigars and almost left with a double stack 9mm 1911.

Still kind of regret not getting it.

Thanks! I haven't explored out there yet as I've been checking out the west and south areas. I want to take the road to Perkinsville from CV and then go over to Jerome so getting out there is in the future.

Did that drive a few weekends ago with my son. It was awesome. Just make sure the weather is OK. I would not do it with any mud on the trail (from rain or snow melt). Big drop offs on the side of the trail.

Great views though and good areas to go shoot.

Great post ... enjoyed the pics and video.

Please be nice to rattlesnakes, the ones you see out in their neck of the woods ... let them be please.

thank you zj

[Friesland]

did a google search (?). Is that an eleven (11 hr) drive on unpaved roads?

I moved to Texas about 18 months ago. CCW in hand within 3 weeks. Wasn't it nice to buy some things that you had only seen in magazines for the last 10 or so years?

Welcome to America, my friend.
