and if the wind is wrong...whew. Also a pretty Republican area, although there are some active Dems there. It is part of our state senate district, and a friend of ours ran (and lost) in 2010. Kind of flat dry plains, about 4500 feet. Windy, hot in summer, cold in winter, although you get warm breaks in the winter.
