SE AZ Would be an awesome place to go, I lived in AZ till I was four. A year ago it was 30 degrees here in Claremont.

We moved north in '93 from Mira Loma. Sometimes I miss warm winters(okay, every year I miss warm winters - and normal length days). Someday I intend to check out SE AZ as a place to retire

When I left cali, the browns were just coming back after the DDT near extinction event. I've been seeing whites in Eugene Oregon and in the high desert in inland N california. Makes me wish I were back "home."

Really. I mostly see them at wetlands like Bolsa Chica. But that's strange.
