I've been to Dubai about 6 times for 3-5 days per go.
Anyone here live in St. George?

I've been to Dubai about 6 times for 3-5 days per go.
And it was never too hot for you to swim?

I don't know where pine valley is, but when I lived in cedar, Brian head was about an hour from there, and st george is further than cedar...
There's three things I don't like about the beach; the sun, the sand and the water.
Despite being in the navy I never really visited the beach. Not my thing at all.

It's about 83 miles. I drove a lot faster as a teenager than I do as an old man. . . Pine Valley is about 45 minutes though and is gorgeous. I suspect that a lot of the stuff I did in the day there is probably illegal now, like tubing off of the dam in winter. You have to roll off before you hit the creek. . .
As far as I'm concerned, STG is the premier place to live in Utah. I spent the last two years there and am now back in SLC. Words can't describe how effing much I hate it up here, and if not for my wife (who hated every second down there) I'd be moving back post haste.
Pros:
CLEAN AIR. I can't stress enough how awesome it is to not get sick every three months because you're essentially performing felatio on a tailpipe every time you step outside. And holy ****, you can actually see the mountains!
NO TRAFFIC. This one explains itself. I just looooove driving to Utah County from Salt Lake and having a 30 minute drive take 90 minutes.
THE ROADS AREN'T FALLING TO PIECES. I can not believe how ****ty the roads are up here. I grew up driving on them, so I never noticed. Two years away and it feels like I need to buy an SUV just to make it into work.
IT'S CLEAN. I always thought SLC was a clean place, at least compared to other cities I've been in like Denver, Boston, Atlanta, etc., but it looks like a landfill compared to STG.
ENDLESS RECREATION 11 MONTHS A YEAR. Seriously. If you like being outside, then holy damn, this is your Graceland.
Cons:
It's 300 miles from SLC.
July gets toasty -- but seriously, every building down there has top shelf AC, so you're never more than a parking lots stroll from being comfortable again.
People drive slow. It drove me bat **** nuts for the first year, but I got used to it and actually began to enjoy it. Much less stress while driving, better gas mileage, no speeding tickets.
That's it. Move down there, you'll be glad you did.
p.s. Don't listen to Peeks, he's too high end for you. I'm a mans man when it comes to real estate down there, and I'll hook you up phat. Seriously. I'm poor and could use the money.
