This is the reason there's been development out at the Whetstone area - that 15 mile stretch had to be "leapfrogged" by developers looking for more land to build on.

Hopefully, but with budgets getting tighter every year states will look for more places to get money. Arizona is already trying to sell the State Capital building to help with this year's budget short fall. |

Thank you for posting the album. I was there this summer, but love to see photos of the area. 
The snow pics remind me of here.  |

We are a little over 4500 feet above sea level here so it does get cool in winter. |

Thanks. No it is one street over from the gold course. I did not like the idea of golf balls bouncing off the house or through the windows. |
