[quote=sdrealtor]Went on a walk with a neighbor friend this weekend that has a place up in Brian Head. He grew up in Mass so loves the winter fun and snowmobiling up there. They have great golf courses in St George also.

as a teen did some skiing in Brian Head and always thought it would be neat to have a vacation home there or up in the mammoth lakes area because those areas seemed so “lush” WRT SD
last week drove one of my vehicles out to Julian to charge up my battery and also get some apple pie (figured I’d kill two birds w/ one stone)
anyway what I noticed is it’s really dry out in east county AND this seems to be the case w/ the rest of CA according to news reports
[quote] California is bone dry. Will March bring more misery or a miracle?
…Los Angeles and Southern California have lots of company in this respect. The state and the West are gripped by persistent drought, including large areas of exceptional drought in the Southwest
as an “investor” in real estate the extended period of drought made me think it important to investigate the potential of fire storms in a location
sadly growing up and taking classes @ UCSD I lost the “dream” that a place like Brian Head was lush
basically after learning more about the long term climate conditions in the south western USA can be in drought for thousand of years,…this implies there was an elevated risk of fire, which means higher insurance rates or even the possibility of not being able to get insurance (due to co$t$)
my drive out to Julian prompted me to do is google info on the topic of drought/wildfire AND rediscovered news items about the last big fires here in SD

thought it important to bring up the topic of fire storms because given our dry winter weather conditions,… this summer the odds of a devastating wildfire is something everyone should keep in mind
