She just had her 15 year recently. Was there major work done over the winter or is this just getting ready for the tourist season?

Btw, I'm extremely jealous of people that live so close to there. I've visited the area twice and loved every minute of it. Maybe someday I'll be a resident.

The shop force installed a new bearing lubrication system on the drive rods that uses oil instead of grease. That's the only big thing I think they've done this winter.

As for living here, do you like a high cost of living, drug addicts, too much snow, and having to drive half an hour to get anything decent?

Love those long-lense shots!

To Zak's comment, when I moved here a few years ago my mover was attempting to get out of
Flagstaff and head for Texas. He had a nice home on a couple acres on the way North toward Page
at the edge of Flag. I used to drive by the development and it was OK, nothing really special-
$860K for the house!! And it hasn't come down a whole lot since.

I think I know what area your mover lives in. This whole area is pricy, but if you have land, it's even more expensive! Heck, even for my little 300 square foot apartment I was paying $500 a month, plus utilities! And that was AFTER haggling the price down!

williams seems interesting
