TDean Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Oh hell, they're safe down in the Phoenix area. The fires are in Northern Az. As kids, we would spend our summers at a cabins in Show Low and the Big Lake area. I hope everything's still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 OK, IPSC CHK just reminded me of how much I like Arizona. Of all the places I used to have to go, Arizona was the only one I really looked forward to. Beautiful country. Gun friendly. Lots to do. My customer was just down the road from Dillon... Now, if they would just put in better microbreweries, it would truly be The Promised Land. (Edited by EricW at 4:24 pm on Nov. 25, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Despite the fact that Zona doesn't hold a candle to NW breweries, they have some great liquor stores where fantastic beers can be bought. There's this place in Tucson, 4th street I think, it's called "The Shanty". What a great beer selection.....ever had Thomas Hardy's Ale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Nope. If only I had known the last time I was in Tucson... Gotta head back there. There's a hike through the Saguaros I've got to finish. Beer after hiking.....mmmm....good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
down0 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 And it's hard to find a good deli. Oddly enough, we have some of the very best sashimi restaurants I've ever eaten at. Moved here in '95 and this is the longest I've ever been anywhere....no plans to move, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I wish I could see Arizona under decent circumstances. The only time I was there was on an interagency wildland fire several years back. All I remember was 110 degrees in the shade, dust so think you couldn't breath, bugs so big they scoffed at a shovel. I would have given my left testicle for one of those Arizona beers and a burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSC CHIK1 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 BTW guys, i am one of two women that i know of who moved to phoenix for the shooting. the other one is young, pretty and blond! Sharon Anne L2387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 [Official sounding moderator mode on] Uhhh,,,Miss IPSC CHIK1, We will be needing proof that you know a "young, pretty and blond" (single?) woman involved in shooting sports. A photograph, age, name, address, phone number and measurements will be sufficient. (unless you wanna tell more!!!) All information will be kept in the strictest of confidences and will only be used in the customary 'verification of young, pretty and blond' process, which is reviewed by no more than 1602 forum members.

Madmark Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Beautiful place for sure. I kinda grew up in Mesa. Well, Mesa grew up, I never did. Except for 4 years in 4 other states, it was home when I was 8 yrs old to 25 yrs old. That pretty much made me a native by AZ standards. I spent several years living in a motorhome and traveling the state. Any terrain you want. Except ocean. (do they still have Big Surf in Tempe?)

Phil Dunlop Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I'm still scheming to get back to AZ, might have to call in for the steel match on the way to the nationals, if y'all buy plenty of Anchor butter that is! I've been to some fantastic places and AZ was among the best! P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSC CHIK1 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 sorry guys, i said the OTHER one is young pretty and blond. i am not blond, can't remember ever being called pretty and qualify to shoot senior in USPSA, though not old enough to shoot senior in ICORE Sharon Anne L 2387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 "Never saw the blonde (at the range)!" Never saw the blonde either, but there a sweet little thing that works the shotgun counter at Ben Avery. She almost gave me a shotgun for free one night...
