Carefree is on the other side of Black Mtn from me. It's a totally different lifestyle from Cave Creek. Cave Creek could be called more like the Old West outside the commercial core.

This one just opened a 1/4 mile from my house. You can walk to all the cool Cowboy/Biker Bars/Restaurants from there;
