What's making you want to move to Az?
Personally, I think the whole Mesa/Gilbert/Tempe/Chandler area is great. Cheap to live, nice neighborhoods, decent folks. You have to deal with severe heat and bad drivers. People in Phoenix are terrible drivers.
Couldn't tell you about wheelin, but there is plenty of open desert. I've always wanted to hunt javelina out there.

What's making you want to move to Az?
Im looking to move because of work. I work in the used car buiness (I fix inside of used cars like leather seats, cig burns and so on) Where im at now its BAD for what i do. Plus if i move to az i can work year round instead of taking a 50% cut in pay because the midwest weather (alot of snow and cold long winters) Ive never moved out of Des Moines,IA and maybe its time. The only thing thats holding me back is the HOT summers in az. But on the other hand im kinda used to 90 plus with 75% humity.. Thats dam hot to. The wheelin will be alot diffrent than whats around here.. We have alot of trails and alot of mud. I hate mud and their is not enough rocks around here. I had a place to stay when im down their but they backed out on me.. So who knows what will happen. Its a BIG move and my women is kinda not wanting to do it but she WILL follow me. :icon_cheers:
