You know you live in Happy Jack:
1. When you know what the RIM is.
2. When no one could ever find you with Yahoo maps.
3. The mud on your car is a lovely red/orange.
4. You don't know whether to tell people to look for Long Valley or Clint's Well to find Happy Jack on a map.
5. Even though the next nearest gas station is 40 miles away you pay less for gas than those chumps in So Cal.
6. You know what the sky and stars look like at night without going to the Rueben H Fleet.
7. You can recite the nightly specials at the Long Valley cafe from memory.

PS You know how to pronounce Mogollon
You know you're NEW to Happy Jack when you look at your window and happily proclaim "Look at all that snow."
Yeah. I LOVE it when people ask, "Where in AZ are they?"
It's fun to try to answer that question.
Actually in Happy Jack I think they are happy to see the snow because it translates to much needed moisture. Although the young gal at the service station last Feb said she wished it would just really snow deep or quit instead of snowing just enough to make mud - then snow again.
I meant you-snow virgins. Although, you have no walk to shovel, a 4WD, heck-you're retired, so hence, no real place to go. I guess snow is better when it can be outside, away from me. Alas, I have to live in it.
Well, Windy, I can tell you are your Grampa's Granddaughter - he HATED snow & cold, too! mc
OH-KAY! Please phonetically spell "Mogollon" and tell me what/where it is while you're at it! :-) mc
MO GO YON - It is the ridge above Payson that rises about 2000 ft in gorgeous red rock and pines up to the Rim Country. It is called the Mogollon Rim and fwhere we are is Rim country - though we are about as far north as you can get and still be on the Rim - We are also so considered the Blue Ridge area - named because of the Blue Ridge reservoir. Another gorgeous piece of nature.
That was Kyle whining about the snow
