Yeah, I am looking at Arizona for retirement. For real. My wife and I have talked about it many times.

I was very close to moving southeast of Holbrook back in the '80's, but it didn't work out. My parents lived outside Yuma for about 15 years.

Where is that? Sounds like a small town.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Rico,_Arizona Right on the US side of mountains. Very low crime and affordable housing.


Rio Rico's crime rate is lower than approximately 81% of Arizonacommunities. However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Rio Rico has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average.

Been a while since I checked back here. There's a lot going on! I love BCs and Seamus looks like such a sweet pal to have around, but sadly I evidently can't even handle a Golden. If you love both, show us more of Seamus in the truck, double whammy

Funny enough, I was just discussing the new UltraTerrains over on CFans the other day. It sucks that they're another exclusive tire like the Cooper ATP and Falken Rubitrek. If I lived in the States, I would definitely have gone over to Discount Tire to take a look, but having known the Duratracs well I can't help but worry about the sidewalls; they look like they share the same carcass (and sidewall) with the DTs.

Goldens are great dogs too. I was thinking of one, a little more laid back than a BC, but this guy came up, and that was the end of it.
Now that you mention it, those sidewalls are similar, I just hope they perform close to the DuraTracs, I'm sold on those things for my driving and weather. I just thought these would be good for a change up, so far, I'm happy.
I'll try to upload a couple more photos, I've been having trouble lately with that.
