The Wild West: Beautiful, Hot, and a Wee Bit Windy at Times

 Pin It
by on May 16, 2007

 

We list a lot of land, particularly in the West Valley areas in and around Whispering Ranch, Wittmann and Tonopah. I love it out there. It's gorgeous high Sonoran desert terrain, with majestic mountain views, and lots of critters.

Today we went out to put up a sign on a newly listed parcel near Tonopah (just try finding a sign installer that is willing to go off road and locate a parcel via satellite imagery..) The picture above is a view from the parcel of Saddle Mountain. You can't get much more of a wild western name than "Saddle Mountain"! (and if you saw it from the other side, you'd understand why they call it that)

Whenever we are out that direction, we always check on our other signs as we've had some damaged or destroyed by vehicles, gun fire and theft (why would someone feel compelled to steal a real estate sign?) and now, the elements.

We arrived at one such listing today to be greeted with this:

Apparently it got just a tad bit windy out there. The name rider was blown off and twisted up too. We repaired and replaced as necessary. Who knows what the next desert drive will uncover…

I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).
