    Fountain Hills is in the Phoenix area from what I can tell. I'm looking for a 1000 square mile area for starters and will drill down from there. :p

    BAH! They have FINALLY left me alone. They have realized the guy who left his bath tub on his front patio for 8 months is more of a violator than I.....and they have grown a bit scared of me.

    Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a sammich around these parts?! Might as well only accept gold doubloons as payment.

    Can I opted for 7th row? Maybe back row mezzanine?

    I've got my own safety to consider here. ;)

    Ya, it's in the northish east end of the valley as you take SR87 towards Payson. That's why when you said south part of Phoenix I was confused...:confused::D

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sou....578015,-111.730957&spn=0.518289,1.40625&z=10

    I highlighted AJ and Fountain Hills for you...if you look at the map you will see Tonto National Forest directly east and north of both locations. That is where you will want to spend the majority of your time wheeling close to the valley.

    Are you including your self in this figure? And does it only count once if you hurt yourself as one person or does each incident add to the number?

    I think we are going to need a better tracking system then what has been established.

    I love Vitamin Water! I still feel retarded for paying for water but at least it's pretty colored. Oh, and the 10 calorie stuff is poop.

    PHX and DFW areas are in my list of places to checkout/move to bc I hate snow. I hate bone chilling cold. I hate humidity. I can deal with the heat as long as it's dry heat. Does the PHX area ever get snow or humidity?

    We get a little humidity during the monsoon season, but nothing like back east. It's a dry heat but it's still freak'n hot sometimes...

    If you hate humidity, don't go to DFW. That place is a friggin swamp in the summer. It doesn't get any snow to speak of but they can get nasty cold wind and even ice/hail storms.

    Is there some kind of relationship between you two? Although it seems it's only going one way.

    You seem really enthusiastic about him moving close by:eek:
