I am just north and east of Nashua. Between Manchester and Exeter (towards the seacoast). It is pretty up here with all the trees and such, but the pretty wore off after a couple of cold winters out shovelling, plowing and generally freezing my cajones off, followed by wet, humid summers.
I'm with you - hot dry desert - wide open spaces. You don't have to shovel sunshine, and I'll take the tarantulas, scorpions, horntoads and occasional snake anyday!

I may take you up on some parts from your 70. It looks as though the body shop may have "misplaced" some of the smaller peices. I will let you know.
