I agree about Sedona - too many hippies and artsy-fartsy liberals, I suspect. The red rocks are sure pretty, though.

Next week, we’re going to take a tour of the southern half of Arizona. We have friends in a couple of places there. We also need go get out of town for some R&R. We don’t expect to be in the Northern part of AZ until winter sometime.

The quest continues.

Cap’n Bob,

We moved here in ‘98; lived in La Mirada for 18 years, then La Habra Heights for 22 years. We traveled extensively in the west looking towards retirement, lots of great places but we always came back to Prescott as the place we liked best. Sure beats the rat-race of the LA basin and is truly “everybody’s hometown”. We also liked the places you named but they’re just too hot in the summer, and there’s too many Hmmmm’ers in Sedona.

Hey Doyle,

Yep we’ve been to Prescott several times. We stayed there in summer of 2008 and a couple of times before. Like the town a lot, especially the old buildings in the downtown area.

We also like Sedona, Cottonwood, Camp Verde and Wickenburg.

Thanks for the link.

Cap’n Bob,

Have you and the Damsel checked out Prescott, AZ?

Oh no, it’s kokopelli syndrome.

No need to wait for Social Security. It’s been in effect for nearly three months.

I don’t get the kiddy bus and nun reference. Maybe I’m getting dull in my old age.

Kokopelli? Kokopelli? I thought that was a cheese pasta sauce ya know.
Does Damsel known about this penchant of yours? Wow, retired thirty minutes and already you’re getting ready to expose yourself to kiddy school buses driven by nuns. At least wait until you’re on social security.

Thanks, Goddess. We’re champing at the bit.

Well, I’m heading to Nevada at the end of October. That’s the plan anyway. The cost of housing is much less. The roommate situation will be much improved. And there’s more space to roam about. AZ was definitely in the running, too. As was NM. Friends in all those places make it very tempting to just turn into a nomad.

Wherever you land, you’ll find excitement and adventure. I believe this. Good luck with the decision!

Our short list is to consider Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. We’re leaning toward Arizona, Damsel’s birth state, but we won’t be sure until we’ve given it due diligence.
