Texas is not nice in the summer either.

You got that right, I've been to Texas in the summer and some parts are darn near unlivable, the Panhandle comes to mind. It's hotter than the desert in the summer time and its the coldest place on earth in the wintertime, I don't know why the first covered wagon ever stopped there, they musta broke an axle.

The problems with those critters are way overblown. If I remember correctly in all the years I've been coming to the desert areas of Arizona I've only seen one rattlesnake, and one scorpion and neither were in a position to be any threat to me. And I spend time walking around in the desert, and since prospecting used to be one of my hobbies I also pick up interesting looking rocks.

You got that right. The rodents cause a lot more problems than the other critters. Scorpions I encounter fairly often but they are not normally a trouble. I just push them away with a stick or ignore them and move on.

The only rodents I've had problems with has been mice, other desert boondocker's tell me that kangaroo rats give them their most problems, but I'm never even seen a kangaroo rat, and how in the world could something the size of a kangaroo sneak into your trailer. Although if they did they could become a major problem that couldn't be solved with a rat trap.
