What is up with those crazy AZ people?

It was a real pleasure meeting the folks from AZ at the summit! You guys were great fun to hang out with. My wife and I are thinking of visiting out there for some wheelin' in the future. That is if you guys can handle some Detroit transplants for a week

Word of advice:

Don't come until late October to late April. Any other time will be miserably hot.

HTH,
Sean

We're up for it anytime. But yes, October to late April would be preferable... we wouldn't want you to get a bad taste in your mouth of AZ.

But if you DO come before then, there's ALWAYS a place to wheel. It might be at night though.

EDIT: Of course, I'm only talking of the valley. You could be in Sedona, Flag or Payson in the higher country and it wouldn't be as bad temp wise.

Detroit! I lived in MI my whole life, honestly folks, the summer here isn't bad at all. I'll take the dry heat over 90 with 80% humidity any day.

Go Tigs!

I lived in Illinois, been out here 11 years, so I can call myself a native now....I dont know why, but this particular summer has been a bear for me. Maybe its the early monsoons, the humidity, or I am just tired of the heat. I dont know.

I will agree, though, that the dry heat out here is much better than the midwestern mosquito filled humid summers.

It's hot as a mutha....but, come on out. Anyone who is a neighbor to Eminem is welcome here......

Sean K. · 07-20-2007, 09:49 AM

Ya, the humidity in the midwest sucks. I prefer the dry heat here....unfortunatley, right now with monsoon season starting, it's almost as bad as being back east.

I still recommend you come in the fall through spring.....that way you'll be able to do the most things and enjoy the great weather (while getting away from the snow/cold in MI).

Yeah, that storm last night was somethin' else, huh? I sat undercover outside just to watch it.

Ya, but not much in the way of rain. Did it rain at your place much?

All we had was dust at my house, spent like 3 hours cleaning the pool yesterday and now its trashed again. It was pretty intense though, I watched out our sliding door. Monsoon season seems to be pretty badass, this one will be my first.
