Same for you in Shitcago. Didn't know surfing and skiing made up quality of life for old, short bald guys. BTW the snocross race next weekend is a Sundown Mt. not far at all from my place. Its not the mountains but its downhill skiing. How far you got to go Vinny? I'm less than an hour from Galena as well so I can ski at two places quickly.

Much more comfortable to be a sun and fun bum. Amazing only from the small myopic view as seen from Podunk Iowa That is a beautiful thing, that is America, God Bless America and those lucky enough to be at Venice Beach in the morning and boondocking an RMK in the afternoon!!!! Tell us Vince. Where do you hunt and sled? Would you call it podunk or a metropolis? I laughed at the results myself putting us first. Iowa might not be a lot of things but it is a solid place to raise a kid. Good people, solid economy, low crime, great schools. Hell most our colleges are filled with Illinois kids. Wonder why.

The truth of the matter is that California has so much to offer the urbanite and the outdoorsman, there's a reason that so many people over the decades have left the podunks and the cities of the midwest to live there.

Truthfully I'm half urban and half country, I like both sides of each lifestyle although I would never just want to lock into one environment permanently, balance is good.

02sled Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 One of the data centres I was responsible for was in Lake Forest California. A short drive from Santa Ana. I was there 3 or 4 times a year. It sure seemed like a nice place to live. I didn't see any "slums" or even dumpy houses while driving around or people panhandling. I'd make trips to Laguna beach after work which was about a 20 minute drive. Still quite nice. The locals seem to have thin blood. It was about 72F. I'd walk the beach in either jeans or shorts and a t-shirt while the locals were wearing hoodies with the hood up and coats on top of them. The people I worked with there sure seemed happy about their lifestyle... drive from home to the beach in 20 mins or less or drive into the mountains and go skiing.

California probably represents the best and worst in humanity. One of the largest agricultural producers in the world, manufacturing, mineral rich, some of the oldest forests in the world, shipping hub, coastal area, sun, mountains, warm weather, winter weather, music, art, theater, you name it. Also has a blend of super rich and super poor, lots of crime, immigrants, Jews.... Go for the good parts and leave because of the rest...

Phoenix has a shitload of homeless as does Albuquerque and the entire south. When I was in Miami last year they were everywhere. Same in Louisiana. The warmer climates will always have more homeless. If your going to be homeless you might as well go to somewhere warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teton's and Grand Canyon being the other two that I've visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
