Actually I live in Mesa, Arizona (better riding than in
Florida, after all). I've been to Flag and to Prescott -
but mainly just to ride. Flagstaff has lots o' trendy
little cafes and tourist hangouts, so there should be
opportunities for you.

Housing, etc.? No idea. But I'd sincerely recommend doing
some serious searching on the area before packing up the
UHaul and heading out.

Did I mention the trails are great?

Take a good look before you leap. And make sure you have a
job lined up. The housing market in Flag is is high, and
shows no sign of slowing down. Flag is landlocked by
National Forest. Most of the new developements are outside
of town on patch work inholdings.

The job market in the service industries is seasonally
flooded. With NAU in town there is a never ending supply of
new workers willing to work for low wages in order to boost
their college fund.

Yep, and you still owe me a ride. But I'd hate to suffer
through it while it's hot outside, so you're off the hook
until it cools down.

Sounds kinda like GJ, except the housing thing and our being
landlocked by BLM. I've seen a lot of ill-prepared people
come and go.
