We still haven't decided where we want to end up in retirement, but we're planning an exit strategy. Speed of exit will likely be pushed by how fast/far this state runs left. Health issues also play a role in our decision making.

Fracking people of craigslist. Filled with idiots and trolls.
Well it will continue moving left, maybe at a slow pace for another year or two. Then it's gonzo full tilt CA. Health care wise if you're a veteran the area i live has a good VA medical place. They outsource most everything, but it's not bad.
Specialist require a trip down the valley (phoenix) Up to Flagstaff, or over to Cottonwood. Plenty of places to shoot, lots of off road areas as well as hiking & camping. Prescott reminds me of Ft Collins before it became a freeloading aclu hell hole.
Only down side is no good chinese place.

I checked out the area you're in, which I would be happy with. The wife is having some lung issues. We'd likely need to get to a lower elevation.

Woot, woot. Got in some range time with the boy. He needs to work his pistol skills. His bolt gun skills are improving and he nailed what he aimed at, at 50 and 100 of a bench. I got to run my ar pistol. Cleared my sinuses, but had me giggling - too fun. Probably needs a blast can. Then the 50 mph wind came and blew rifle cases and empty pmags all over the place. Still, fun!
Felt like 106F today, spent the latter part of the day outside hosting a back-to-school bbq for our homeschool friends. I'm dehydrated and yet I can't drink enough fluids.
Spending all day tomorrow smoking this 9-lb pork butt. Hoping the weather cooperates this time. Last time (which coincidentally was my first time smoking anything in my Weber Kettle grill), a massive thunderstorm rolled in at around the 7-8-hrs mark. The butt dropped 10F, grill temp dropped to 175F and the charcoal never re-lit, and I had to finish it off in the oven (Boo!). Which of course, I had to remove the pork from the grill in the pouring rain and get it inside otherwise the smoldering charcoal would have given the pork a creosote taste... Even still, best pulled pork we've had in a long time!

Damn, looks tasty.
I always end up grilling in rain. If I grill, rain appears out of nowhere. Just me, my bbq and a rain jacket.
I'm okay with grilling in the rain, and I've done it many times before, but usually just burgers when the grill is hot (400F+). When its so low for smoking, the minimal coals aren't sufficient to counteract the cooling from the rain on the lid.
