Most people won't remember me because I was barely in school, cut classes way to often and did way to many in-school suspension, I loved the sports we had, especially the soccer program and when we lost the state final on bogus calls. I moved from Jersey in the late 70's and went into the US Army for five years, calling Arizona my home for almost 40 years. I live in a very rural town in north western Arizona, we are credited with being the Flagstone capital of the world. Population is approximately 1500 but full-time residents is less than 800. Property is inexpensive which brings a lot of people seeking a way to get out of the city,, but most only stay about 2-3 years because they are not prepared for what it takes to live here. It can be challenging and without four-wheel drive most don't make it.... We live at an elevation of 5600 feet and I work at what is called the Arizona Divide which is at an elevation of 7700 feet.
I own five acres of high desert 🌵 property which if you've never been to the high county in Arizona is absolutely beautiful, especially at night. We have to haul water to our house b...Expand for more
ecause they're is no water system, we store about 3500 gallons of water between two water storage tanks. It can be cumbersome in the winter hauling water but the trade off from having to live in the city is well worth it. We heat our home solely on fire 🔥 wood in the winter which takes about 3.5 cords a winter. We live in open range land so it is very normal to see the roaming cattle in my yard as well as elk, antelope, deer, occasional mountain lion, and very rarely bear 🐻. Snakes can be an issue at times as well as tarantulas. Check your shoes first in the morning.... Any way that's all for now,,
