Maybe you guys are missing the part where he says he needs electricity and "wired internet". Most "peaks" don't offer those amenities.

Maybe like, north Utah or Neavada? Even "desert" Idaho is pretty grassy. But even then I don't think you go above 60.

I know one place that doesn't go above the 60s. But that's Anchorage. Even Fairbanks goes above 60 degrees.

Your best bet is Mars.

where do you live now and why do you want/need to move?

your request for wired internet and electricity, "barren/dry" (not green), and a place in which it never gets above 60 degrees might mean something like Nome or Barrow, Alaska???

(wonder if we'll really hear back from Kayka)

That anyone smart enough to program computers would imagine for a second that there might be someplace in AZ that stays below 60 degrees is laughable.

One thing that struck me about this original post was that he wasn't happy when the temps went above 60 in Yuma ... does it ever go DOWN to 60 in Yuma???

I don't think there's anyplace you could live year round in the US that meets all those requirements, (temp, barren/dry, good internet) so I'm thinking this thing was a wind up.

Yeah, Yuma's normal low is 45° in late December and their normal high is 68° then, which means the coolest days will be in the high 50's to 60 in the afternoon

Ideally I would have an empty 10x10 Adobe / natural structure hut with electric and wired internet. I sleep on the ground, not a bed, which should give you some idea of my lifestyle. My needs are simple. Where should I check out?

The temperature limit is strict BTW. Thank you.
By definition, it's not possible for anyplace anywhere to be similar in climate to Yuma yet never get above 60 F - because the climate of Yuma is hot desert (Koppen classification BWh). In fact, there's really no inhabited place in the United States where it never gets warmer than that. Even Barrow, Alaska, where the peak average high is 47 F, the average maximum July high is still 66 F (in other words, even though no calendar date has an average high above 47 F, the average high July outlier is 66 F).
