Looking for Arizona Land

Yavapai county also is a hugely popular spot for people from California and the Northeast to move to. They bring all of their liberal ideas and attitudes with them.

True.
Friends took me there for a day trip and I almost had a panic attack running out of a hipster coffee shop. Could have been anywhere in SoCal. INSANE drivers too.

@Ura-Ki roger that. Most of my "homework" has been in the Tucson area. Well, by "Tucson area" I mean within about an hour to an hour and half driving distance from said. No way we're living in the city.

Oh, they have all sorts of "cute critters"...

This is my son outside of our home in Prescott Valley...

After the monsoon, tarantulas come out by the thousands and show up everywhere randomly. You better be prepared for a month or so of giant spiders everywhere...

These cute little critters have a sting as bad as a scorpion's and can get into your house at will...

And of course there are rattlesnakes. But Arizona also has the Mojave Green rattlesnake. The most potent and aggressive of all the rattlesnake species. When driving up the 1.5 mile paved driveway from my place in the country, I would see rattlesnakes sunning themselves on the road most days.

Diamondback rattlers would slither off when they sensed my car coming. The Mojave Green rattlers would coil up and strike at my car and chase it, if I missed running over the dirty things.

Well thats gonna be a nope from me then. Bummer.
