| TheBaba's Full Review: Arizona |
After living in sunny old California for close to 53 years, I never thought I could be happy living (full time) anywhere else.
Although I have only been is the state of Arizona for 1 year now, I'm finding it a wonderful place to live. The weather is the all-round best thing! Being a warm/hot weather person...I'm in heaven here in Lake Havasu City. Our rainy season comes in the summer months....as monsoons! I have watched it rain 40 drops in 5 hours and I have watched it rain 5 feet in 1 hour! This is one town where you really try to do very little driving when it's raining...mainly because you will find it hard to stay on the roads. Lake Havasu is built on a hillside, and has culverts and dips everywhere...so the water can run down to the lake. Ever seen it rain so hard that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face? Well. come visit some August or September! The wonderful thing about these rains is that the sun usually shines all thru them...so there is no way you can get depressed! Another thing is that all the rain we have comes in only 2 to 5 days for the whole year.
Arizona is all desert. We do have a "very DRY heat"...and that's no joke. The temp can get into the 120's but it's very liveable because it is so dry. During the monsoon season it gets unbearable humid at times...but not always. We do get all the desert plants and critters too. Sometimes these can be deadly...so it's always a good idea to be aware when you're taking a trek thru desert sands or mountains.
As you may know, Arizona is known for it's beautiful sunsets. Ever color in the rainbow can be seen! Wonderful being able to set in your backyard, and watch the show of a lifetime...and it's all in technicolor!
Now that I'm here...I couldn't imagine being back in the Santa Clarita Valley of California!
