I was born in Payson,AZ in 1980. Less than a year later I moved to Massachusetts where I have been for the last 41 years. Lately I've been wondering what my birth place looks like and am so grateful to you guys for posting videos on my hometown. Thank you so much

Payson AZ is a good cozy town. There is wild life every where you turn. Everything from coyotes, to "road runners", to jabalí, to bobcats, to elk and moose, and dear, to five different types of squirrel. Snow birds like to retire close in Gila County. I fell in love with that side of Arizona. Me an my friend used to deliver furniture all over town, and even outside of it. We'd go as far as Sedona and Phoenix at times.

I ended up in Payson after losing my job in Florida. It's a small town, if you like camping fishing and rvs you will like it. If not it's a boring town.
