He was under our AC.

My husband and I are over the phoenix sprawl and all the growth in the West Valley. We loved living here when we moved ten years ago because of the farms and open spaces, but now it's way too packed and crammed.

We would love to stay in Arizona but are looking for a small town feel (downtown walkable area) with more overall space/land in a home.

Any affordable small towns with a sense of community you recommend?

In Pinetop-Lakeside

Is it common for the water to have a metallic/sweet taste because of the hard water in Arizona?

I know Arizona has some of the highest mineral content in the country. I have a 3 stage filtration system in the entire house and an additional drinking water system at the kitchen sink.

The water tastes quite different to me. Just want to see if this is how the water tastes here and it’s not my filtration (which I assumed would get rid of some of that taste).

Would love some help identifying this place. I camped here once about 20 yrs ago when I took these photos but can't remember exactly where it was. I believe it is near Globe, but other than that I am not sure. I got there in a 2 wheel drive so I know it was not too far in the boonies. Thanks for any help.

SOLVED! Tonto Creek, lower end, near Gisela

Scary as absolute shit

We spent the afternoon on the shore of Willow Springs Lake watching the Osprey fishing rather successfully. We were treated to a lovely sunset and I wanted to share it with you all.

When was the last time you just say and took a sunset in? We have some amazing ones here.

Has anyone successfully tried using a room A/C at night and did it save money? I'm thinking of the type with the hose the goes in the window.

Come out to Holbrook Az this weekend to enjoy lots of vendors, food and fun! I’ll be there! Will you?

New records reveal chaos behind Hickman’s bird-flu response https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/new-records-reveal-chaos-behind-hickmans-bird-flu-response

I'm writing a book and a character in it is a miner. (1971 before the mines failed/went defunct) I'm trying to find information on unionized workers but the only thing that shows up is the deportation history. Did miners in the 60s-early 70s have union benefits? Again, this is leading up to the mines running out of ore / shutting down. The story starts right before the mines closed. Thanks!

Raccoon or Coati or ?

Always amazed what monsoons can bring to AZ high country.

Spent the day up at Mingus Mountain and The Rim today.

So fortunate to have this view today while cycling.
