Snapshot Report post Posted February 1, 2018 Saw an article that states Montana has the most Nuclear missles, at 440. The most of any state. I always thought it would be a good state to live if crap ever hit the fan. Maybe not.lol Seems like that would be worst place to be since that's where they'd target to get our missles. I think they would target major metro areas not missile silos. Besides ours would already be in the air, hopefully aimed at California. Watching 440 ICBM's being launched, would be an amazing sight. Probably one of the last things we would ever see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted February 1, 2018 I'm born and raised in AZ and seriously love this place and allow the unique hunting opportunities. I used to never imagine leaving but more and more as I drive around the valley, the traffic and amount of people in general has worn on me. Plus the growing amount of people from out of state and things like this attempted lion and bobcat ban have really started me questioning leaving. Problem is I'm still trying to figure out where to go more rural and still have job opportunities. It's all screwed already everywhere else. This was the stronghold.

goinhuntn Report post Posted February 1, 2018 I left Arizona 20 years ago & miss it everyday. I might have a job opportunity that will put me in the Flagstaff area & all goes well with the offer we'll be heading there in the next couple of months. I would love to live in Arizona again as I have missed it everyday since I left!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think I could ever leave Arizona. Everywhere I went in military I just dreamed of home. I took every military friend that I brought to Phoenix camping and shooting and they all fell in love with Az, they all said same thing "I thought it was all sand and cactus in Az". I also Hate the valley but only for HEAT reasons. I wouldn't mind my place here from Nov-March That being said: Pine, Strawberry, Show Low, around Flag maybe to East some nice properties or Munds Park if you can deal with the weekenders. Prescott Valley, Camp Verde nice but still they get toasty. Heck I like it down South in few places and would like it even more once that big shade wall is built. Buddy of mine down South Benson area sends those nice friendly pictures of his trucks dashboard with temps registering 20 degrees lower than phx or even way more like 40deg sometimes. Its cooler almost everywhere else in the U.S. Personally I'm scared of Lyme disease so that rules out a bunch of states that just have way too high of risk! :] Also background I am a Native Phoenician of 45 years. I grew up at 40th street and bell rd. We used to ride horses to cave creek and bell pizza hut and tie up to hitching post that was in parking lot. We used to strap shotguns to 3 wheelers and cross bell rd and start hinting. Its hard to hear those words my dad use to say rattle in my head "Son enjoy this now because it will all be gone someday" 😢 I do miss the old school phx the heat was more bearable when the city wasn't as busy.

Problem is I'm still trying to figure out where to go more rural and still have job opportunities. This describes my feelings about the situation here exactly. My family's AZ roots go back over 130 years and there's so much I love about this place, despite the growing pains here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted February 2, 2018 Pros and cons speaking as a Show Low Resident Pros Hunting within minutes Fishing better than average traffic issues nothing like the valley overall very friendly people Cons No good places to eat (lame steak place, mexican fast food, weak chinese, pizza and thats it) Minimal urban activities to do public servants incredible self righteous Limited shopping capabilities cause artificially high prices at the grocery store bad cell service (especially on holidays and summer weekends) 3 hours to anywhere (everywhere you go is at least three hours away) very clickish based on religious, social and ethnic standings But if you are still interested I will very likely have my home for sale this year. good luck on your choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LifeFeedsOnLife Report post Posted February 2, 2018 I wouldn't mind the Show Low area. I have family in Taylor and have spent a lot of time there. Despite the cons I feel I could get used to it. But again it all depends on employment. I'll be done with school in the summer and after I get a feel for things we'll see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
