Ralph,
That is the one thing that I like about this area over the other parts of the state I have lived in. There are some great parks in this state, but here we have mountains, desert, and great curving roads that follow the old stage coach trails all within a 30 minute drive. Plus many old Gold mines and other historical sites. On the downside we have Fires. Yesterday the smoke was so think that the sun couldn't break through. But I still love it up here.
