The concept of entire areas being dry is a concept I simply don't believe in. It's all who you know. There's buds being grown all year around. Anytime of the year, you could come across some crap or grand. The magic thing about bud is not tied to a single source. Even on a local level, there is a connection of people who shutdown while others connections are good. For suburban and city, local folks to some extent, you can't possibly know everyone. So while the people you know may be dry, the people you don't know could be good all month long.

I'm on the east coast and I haven't been ran out in god knows how long. It's all about who you know and what you are willing to do to get the quality you want.
