Just imagine sitting in the yard and watching the monsoons roll right in. Truly hard to find a lot that compares, the views are predominantly to the south and the east and west, and the southward view shows the city of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico in the distance about 13 miles away which really lights up at night.
