Lots of people living off the grid in Eastern Arizona. Tin foil hat wearin, black helicopter people, you name it.
I don't think I could live in a desert. My wife lived in El Paso for 18 years, I just don't think I could do it.
It’s not desert, elevation varies 6000 to 7000 feet. Winters it snows. Area is about 75 to 100 miles from NM.
Hey man, this whole state is a desert. Burnt dirt, rocks and cacti. The only grass you'll see is not native to the region. If it weren't for family and my Wife, I'd move someplace cooler and greener.
There is a lot of high country in the east-central and northern portion of Arizona. Pine trees, mountains, cool weather, etc. Humphreys Peak near Flagstaff is over 12,000 feet above sea level.
