I had my first legal drink at age 19 in Kingman, Arizona.

Quoting the from the Kingman Daily Miner; "... hope when Beecher leaves, he takes these dang flies with him. They're just vicious this year." This is the first I heard of a fly problem in Kingman. What gives?

Sierra AZ,

This last weekend I talked to a neighbor of mine here who lived in Havasu for 10 yrs and he still has a home there. They still go there for 1/2 of the year and have family in Kingman. We got to see pics and he told us all the good and bad. He had Kingman Miner news papers there for us to go through. It really seems like it is a nice area. So that makes two people who I have personally talked to that know the area and they are both saying it is nice and that there is no more crime there than else where.

Anyway, I am going there for 32 days and will be able to decide for myself, first hand.

Also, I met Gemmy1 who has been great helping me with honest answers,etc.

Good luck to you and thanks for joing this discussion and bringing your honesty to the table



It looks pretty and I am hoping to get out there for a closer look in Sept/Oct.
Thank you for the kind words

And re: your more recent post; you are doing the right thing by coming on out this way and seeing for yourself.

The 'gut' knows; so to speak---------that I had to learn the hard way over the years.

Thanks II for the kind words.

Yes the flys are here but not so bad at all.

Yes a wind generator for power seems like it would be a good solution for power.

Yeah, the monsoons brought out a few house flies. At least they don't bite, like the bugs in most of the rest of the country. Besides, they're already gone now near as I can tell.

Here's one of those sunsets I was talking about. Sunset over the Cerbat Mountains. Taken a couple of weeks ago, from my back porch.

I am a Wash DC native-------trust me: the DC summers are far worse than any Kingman summers. And the DC winters are far, far worse as well.

100F in Kingman 'feels' like about 85F (with the high humidity) in DC.......95F in the latter city damn near killed me when I left there almost 30 years ago.
