Hey Je:
I live in Southern California's High Mojave Desert at an altitude of 3000 feet. We occasionally get a mild snowfall, and our summers can get to a dry 112.
I worked for Boeing at the Long Beach, CA facility for 37 years as a Lab Test Engineer/Technician, and retired 10 years ago in 1998. It used to be McDonnell-Douglas, but Boeing bought the Company in 1996.
I moved to the High Desert because I'm an amateur Astronomer, and the skies up here are really dark!
Our Club had a Star Party Saturday night and the Milky Way stood out like a silver ribbon across the sky!
My new $5400 Computerized Telescope performed beautifully...you can select anything from its 145,000 object database and it will automatically slew right to it! (Star, Planet, Nebula, Galaxy, Cluster, Asteroid, Comet, etc.)
Cheers...
