    what a joke, id live in the phoenix area over any "metro" area in california, except for maybe Sacramento and thats a stretch, and id definitley pick it over Portland, OR

    Edit: after looking at the list, id live in phoenix over anywhere on that list, with vegas coming in second.

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    the salt river has more trout than bass. they stock it with trout.

    good bass fishing would be pleasant. shad does best
