HORMOAN INFUSION INTO ARIZONA
« on: June 23, 2008, 02:15:00 AM »
After thinking about retiring and moving to a nicer climate than SW Michigan. I thought hey why wait I may not live that long. So I rented a 22' truck and trailer, packed my stuff and headed out. Ended up where for the last 10 years I thought I wanted to be. Arizona! I am temporarily in Glendale but will end up in Prescott. Just spent the last 4 days there learning the town and looking for work. My first stop in town was to meet our own Chortdraw. Great choice on my part  :D  Dale is a super nice guy with a hugh talent. For those of you who do not know him, he is a super talented but retired wood carver. That just also makes a super fine looking longbow. I now have to sweet talk him into making me a lefty.   :readit:  

    A big thanks to Tradgang, I got into town and had friends to shoot with and enjoy time with  :thumbsup:  It just don't get any better than that!

Brent, glad you found another hunting grounds complete with pals. Nice new residence (tent with chair) and fine looking weather. Priorities look intact after the move - shoot arrows, then look for a job.

Now that's what I call a change in scenery!  Pretty cool to move half way across the country and have freinds waiting to shoot bows with too.  I'll be waiting for updates as you explore your new digs!  :thumbsup:

Looks like a road trip to Arizona may be in order sometime after you get settled in!!  I am sure a few of us northeners could split gas and come for a visit!!

Dave I had visions of the fine dinning & ice cold beer's. After a nice day on the range at Comptons. I was really disappointed in missing that!

Larry do you ever leave Texas  :D  of course I'm a lot closer to Tejas now. Maybe get a little more hog hunting in now!!  :thumbsup:

Well, dang!  Now you have gone and made me jealous.  I'm looking at three more years before we can pull up stakes and move!  Seriously, best of luck to you.  (But I'm still jealous.)
