Hi to all, I loaded up my family in South Dakota in a 25 ft rider truck and made a, "Grapes of wrath!" epic move to AZ with the hope and promise of a better life for my wife and I, and opportunity for my kids.
As for me, I miss the springs and falls, hunting and fishing, but it seems a fair trade for the absence of spring tornados and brutally cold winters! I had a chance to offer my family a better life and I took it, the outcome remains to be seen, but I've won some and lost some... One always has many steps and choices to make in life going forwards! And some steps back as you struggle to make the right decisions with both your head and your heart, most times not even relatively close in the outcome?
Now, 20 plus years down the road, not much has changed except the view ahead, and the experiences behind... I can't imagine moving to any other place than AZ. So, still, I go forward!

Best to all, til....lat'r....GT
