I liked the desert when I first moved here.  I didn't move to Tucson by 
choice though, and one of the things that always made the hot summers 
tolerable was the ability to escape somewhere cooler, even if only for a 
day.  Because of the drought, we no longer have that ability, and according 
to the weather service that drought will probably not end for a number of 
years.

My issues with not being able to enjoy the outdoors because of the closures 
is really different that my disgust with the Forest Service for the way 
that they handled this recent closure.  I now have to make different plans 
this weekend, since mine changed as of this morning.
