Later, I've gone to California!

[RallyeMike]

Hey BB1: My inlaws starting wintering in BH City and Laughlin a few years ago and we have gone down several times to visit. The desert races in Laughlin are cool, the lakes at the dams are fantastic (you NEED to get fast ski boat and a big cooler), Laughlin car collection is so-so, weather is wonderful though it can get quite hot in summer, great hiking, short trip to the Canyon, and not too far from OPEN ROAD RACING! In fact, there are a couple racers based out of Needles where you will work.

Good luck with the move.

OPEN ROAD RACING!
 

One of the greatest things EVER

[BB1]

Yeah Mike, Code, I would love to do that too.
We'll have to get together some time at the open track meet.

I need to get me a 3gen to make it a race.

Oh I agree that you will not see the kind of winter you are use to. I just meant that it does get damn cold in the desert. Hell a week or two ago they had 6 inches of snow on the ground in VEGAS!!! 

I have also seen pics of another guys place in Arizona with snow covering his new steel building that had just been delivered. I don't recall now just where he lives, but within an hour of the Hoover Damn..

Don't toss out your winter goods just yet.......   



Did I mention that it was over 80* yesterday and it's 77* now at 5:PM. here on the sand pile??   Tonight's low will be in the mid 60's*.......    All windows will stay open tonight here........

Yup, it was 30 degrees in Tucson this morning, the high is going to be in the 50's this week, so we do have our share of cool weather this time of year, January is always pretty cool, we do get an occasional snow storm, but not that often, lots of rain during monsoon season, but winter is defiantly better here than in Utah where I came from,  Welcome to Arizona, hope you like our lovely desert, not quite Hell, but really close to it. 

[speedfreak68]

I either want to be in Az or Utah after I get done with school. I'm origonally from Kansas and it gets a lil too cold for me...

[Charger1973]

Hopefully I will see you out there as well some day.  This winter has really got me wanting to move south... 

[73ChargerSE]

Well, I think starting the AZ mafia is in order.  I am definitely in.

[Martian R/T]

Well, I think starting the AZ mafia is in order.  I am definitely in.

Me too!!!

[The70RT]

I went through Bullhead a couple months ago.....It was like upper 20's so yeah you still need to crank up the heat. Summers would be too hot their for me. I sure couldn't put AC in the garage 6 months out of the year that would take Charger money away. Right now I burn firewood in the garage. It is free if you pick it up during storms etc.

[BB1]

I'll be there soon. I work for the Santa Fe for 12 years now, we work under contract seniority  bidding system, or a bump.

I will have to wait until one or the other happens in order for me to move to Mojave Valley which is across from Needles CA.

I have vacation time at the end of March, I will move the Charger and the parts to a buddies barn in Scottsdale AZ. Then off to San Diego for some R&R.
I have two friends that just moved there from San Diego, I've known them for 25 years now. One was the former San Diego Mopar Club presidents back in the 80ds.
Hell, we started the Club and had many members back then.
It will be like the 1980ds all over again. LA shows, Las Vegas shows, not MoPar related.  
Ohh Yeahhh.



Arizona Cali Mafia   Cool.

[BB1]

up this old thread



OK I'm leaving on Monday! not next month or next year this Monday.

Picking up the Ryder truck today.

muuuaahahhahha   good bye Midwest winters.

This to this ===>

[The70RT]

Get a good look at the lakes and rivers......because you wont' see any out there...........see ya and you know the rest

[BB1]

Good to know you bud, thanks for all the help.  

Hope to see your 70 running around the Kansas highways soon.

I will be off the internet for a couple weeks while I cruse over to the land of fruits and nuts.  

Bye   

[69bronzeT5]

Good luck Ed!

[RD]

good luck ed... not often we hear of kansans rushing to california.. usually the other way around.

[BB1]

I know RD, the only reason is because my dad is ill with Alzheimer's.

Other wise I would never step foot in Cali again.

I want to retire in Arizona close to the Utah border. At least I can look for some land to buy out there. Then build a barn home, and a stop off for those that travel across the country in there Chargers.



No internet after today, I'll get it up and running out there as soon as I can.

Peace out

Your welcome Ed. If I head out that way I will look you up. Your a good man to go look after your father. Hope it all works out well considering the conditions.

[RD]

God bless ya Ed!!! You're doing what I would do.  Another mopar watering trough along I-10 (dont move too far north!) never hurt anyone!
