Not that I am knocking it, but so many people want to go outside the U.S. to see the sites but there are so many places here that people miss out on our natural places of beauty. It is beautiful country there.

after 8 years in CA , I did not think that anywhere could offer as much , in spectacular scenery . then I saw the Colombia river gorge
maybe I hit the gorge at just the right time of year ,

I too miss the beauty of AZ so I subscribe to Arizona Highway magazine that monthly sends me beautiful photos of the state.

I took the family to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, Spring Break of 2018 ... first time I'd been back since 1976 when I graduated High School ... until we went back I can't say that I'd missed Arizona at all. Other than riding dirt bikes in the desert.
In my sophomore year of high school we moved there for my sisters health, I loved my sister but I resented having to leave everyone and everything I knew to live there ... so much that the beauty was wasted on me.
If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse.
I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

I'm so freaking homesick I could cry.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

We took the pictures I posted on my first trip back home in 40 years. I know exactly how you feel. I was last in Tucson in 1978.

Yes, I really was born there. My dad was one of the construction crew and I came early, making it impossible to reach the Scottsdale hospital.
