In reply to the discussion: state by state speak your mind about.....arizona [View all]Populist_Prole

Busts a lot of preconceived notions that it's desert/scrub brush, although even that's nice in it's own way. Forests, lakes, hot as hell or colder than you can stand.
It's a red state for sure, but it's not everybody. They have some real John Wayne wannabe cowboy types, some bitter old wealthy retirees from out of state, both of which are VERY conservative IMO, but I've run into lots of nice people from different walks of life there too. I just stay away from April to November. I like it it cool/cold, but even then the sun is pretty warming.
