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.

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.......   :2thumbs:



Did I mention that it was over 80* yesterday and it's 77* now at 5:PM. here on the sand pile?? :D  Tonight's low will be in the mid 60's*.......   :2thumbs: 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.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

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.

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.  :D
Ohh Yeahhh.

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.

:yesnod:

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

Peace out
