Here is the start of my Arizona Prospecting adventure.......haven't made it down there yet but will very soon.......here is some charts that will come in very handy for me.......the counties i'll be spending most of my time in is Maricopa witch Wickenburg is right at the edge of and also Yavapai witch is right above Wickenburg and also where Staton is located in.........looks like i'll be on the lookout for some cool rocks and minerals.......

I won't be going down until about 60 days....by then the temps. will be going down and the nights can get down to freezeing (but not like here when the temps can get below 0 ).....but accually even right now i would rather be down there then here in Kansas because the temps here have been 110-115 in the shade...now in the sun it's much worse with the high humidity (mostly temp + high pressure-makeing it hard to breath sometimes..not so much temp and moisture in the air because we haven't got much rain..just enough to make it a muggy mess lol). In Arizona what the temp. says is what it is because the humidity is much lower (except durning monsoon season). During the summer months most people in AZ do more durning the night hours because of the heat...so just think about it for awhile...3 months of heat not as bad as here then nice during the rest of the year or live up here and only have about 3 good months all year??=less time to go prospecting unless your a nut and love to prospect durning winter. lol

Here is a story i was told from a truck driver that delivered to Cross....He use to drive down to AZ all the time....he went into a barber shop and the barber asked him...How hot do you think it is outside??...the driver said.....idk...95....the barber said nope it's 105 out right now....so what does that tell ya....now here in Kansas it's opposite...it feels alot worse then it really is on the thermometer. So why is that....it's the humidity.......AZ is low humidity (dry heat) and Kansas is higher humidity (wetter heat that make you sweat like a pig out of the sun no matter where you are)...Yes i know Arizona isn't perfect but i haven't found paradise yet....lol

My cousin was back from Chanler AZ and here is what he said: Absolutely! I was just back in KS this past weekend and between the heat and humidity it was repressive! At least in AZ it is cool in the shade - except during monsoon!

It's mostly a matter of choice......live in Kansas where there is two extreams (higher humidity with heat and cold as hec during winter with "snow") or in AZ with only one extream (dry heat durning summer..except durning monsoon and mild winters with "NO SNOW") lol......what's your choice??

P.S. the house i'm in right now doesn't have AC..thank god my room has a window unit...in this house it's like one extream to another going in and out of my room...lol
