Yes, I like walking in desert at night but that’s about it.
When people complain of rain and storms here in western Arkansas/eastern Oklahoma I ask them if they’d rather live in a desert.
N Central Ark is beautiful but the people from Illinois, California, and Minnesota are piling in daily. I moved here from Mississippi and raised the average IQ in both states.
My wife and I considered moving to your part of the world when I retired, but we ended up staying in the Arizona desert. Sure looks like nice country in western AR, though (we were thinking about somewhere between Mena and Fort Smith).
