Life in Rural Arizona:
When we bought our place in Arizona, I found out the local fire district and sheriff’s department didn’t have a 911 address for the ranch. So, I went to the county to fix the problem. They gave me a one-page form and told me to attach a picture of our driveway.
I said, “We don’t have a driveway. We have a jeep trail.”
The gal at the county said, “That’s OK, Mr. Persinger. We have over 800 miles of county roads—only 60 miles of them are paved.”
Here’s a picture of our “driveway.”
By the way, the “county road” that runs to the front gate of our property is actually on our land. So even the county N road is a private road. N stands for “Non-maintained,” which simply means the county doesn’t maintain it. We maintain the road, but it’s still listed on the county map. Rural life—definitely not like the burbs.
