Like I said it is not the usage. There are a lot of metho labs out in the hills and rough terrain. Being on a major corridor for transportation there is a lot of through the area traffic. Usage is probably a lot less than even Temecula area. Most residents ignore it or don't even know there is a problem. I only kno about it since my neighbor is a Sherrifs deputy.

Yes Utah chages time in April and October. I think only AZ and Iowa, are the only states who don't, and Iowa even might change now.

Indiana is the mid-western state that does not change, I believe. Definitely not Iowa, since I grew up there.

CravenClan – you stated that you earned about $120k a year in So. Cal. This is totally unscientific, but I’d be prepared to earn half that in Utah. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised if things turn out better, but earnings are much lower here. I suppose if you find out what your company will pay, and your husband can accurately forecast his rates and the amount of business he will have, you can get a better handle on that.

I should point out that we live on acreage we've owned for years and decided to just go ahead and "do it" in our decision to move there a year ago from SoCal. It's very rural and we're surrounded by alfalfa farms, open flat valley expanse and a mile from the hills. We like it a lot. But there are a few things in common with our remote area and cities like Cedar and St. George. And these things might be missed by folks moving there from more populated places. If you use satallite TV for example, you will find that all the network "local" broadcasting comes from Salt Lake. That includes news, weather and local interest programing. There are no network broadcast stations in southern Utah. I suppose it would be like having the closest "local" news for Southern California broadcast from San Francisco. There are also no network reporters or photographers stationed in the southern state area so local coverage of anything is often done by freelance camerapeople and sold to the Salt Lake stations.
Another thing that one definately gets reminded of is although St. George is becoming a sizable metro area, it is isolated. For Craven there is a pretty good analogy if you consider Temecula. Going south on the 15 from there you would go through Escondido. That would be Mesquite. Going further would be San Diego. That would be Vegas. The distances are arguably similar. But the space inbetween is exactly what you see between Vegas and Baker. If you go north you go through Elsinore. That would be Cedar City. But if you go further there is no Riverside or beginning of one city blending into the next for 90 miles. It is 3 hours to the start of any appriciable metro area.
All that to say is what's in St. George is what you've got without a trip to Vegas. And lot's of folks go there for any real compitition for major purchases. Cetainly not a show stopper for a move. Not even for us who aren't even within 30 miles of say, a McDonalds. But we did our homework and knew what we were committing to. And knowledge is power.

Coolcats- I did not state we made $120k a year, that was Irish Mama...from florida.

I did not state what we make, as it is not relevant. Besides, there is no way we could make the money we make here, and we are prepared for that. But then again, when we move we won;t have to deal with the s***t heads here either, that you can't put a price on!!

Gotta chase a few kids, by for now....

There is a local news channel KCSG here that does news..In fact I read that they are going to starting a 7-9 am program here in the next few weeks..Right now they are on 5:30 and 9pm..I love having a local channel since we are so far away from the news on the other stations...It will be interesting to see how the 2 hour morning program goes though..
