I mean why not? It didn't really occur to us that people do this, until we got to the East Coast and saw how many Northerners fly south for the winter. What a great idea! We are thinking that maybe a small place in the upper Midwest or somewhere like Montana in the summer, and another in Texas for winter. If we could've afforded land in Humboldt's sunny microclimates, we would've jumped on it. Even now, any decent size of real estate is out of our price range in CA.

Out here in the Dow's Prairie Banana Belt the weather is MUCH nicer. Maybe you should consider Willow Creek. Nice dry heat in the summer and the Trinity River near by. Gets too hot, come on over to the coast, like the folks from Redding do. Now THERE:S a place I wouldn't want to live. Ugh. Sunny here in Missoula today with some snow still on the mountains. Oil Painters of America opening weekend was a blast and well worth the trip. Have you thought about Montana or Wyoming? Killer beautiful. A little sticky politically if you're a progressive, however. And there are those winters. I'm way too much of a weather wienie for that, but it sure is a nice place to visit. Housing prices around here are way better than even Humboldt County, which is still California, however rural and downtrodden we are compared to, say, Marin.

We're on Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake. I could stay here for a few months of the year. It's been one of the nicest places we've been. Who says we have to live in one place all the time? Animals are migratory, so why can't we be? :) I think the perfect solution on the dilemma on where to live is to live in a couple of different places at different times of the year.

I agree with Rene, I couldn't live in Eureka - and I've only been there a few times! I'm not sure I could live in the desert full-time either (although I've thought about trying), just no place too windy and dusty - YUK! Florida doesn't do it for me either - too flat, too humid, too many bugs, hurricanes, and what about the crocs? OK the whole northern part of the country is O-U-T - the winter's are too cold. The east and the south are out due to the humidity and hurricanes - it makes me so lethargic and uncomfortable... So where does that leave? Is there a perfect place to live?

We have been in the desert since January - either the deserts of TX, NM, AZ or UT. While we love some of the aspects, we too are tired of the wind, the dirt and the affects of dryness on our bodies. We're still thinking that we'd like to live in this area - somewhere. We're thinking maybe another time of year when the winds don't blow as much would give us a different impression.

The desert blast furnace and plastic bags. You guys are too much. When I was a So Cal'er, our folks had a place in Yucca Valley where we used to play on occasional weekends and holidays. It didn't take long to learn that they don't call it a desert for nothing. The wind driven sand would peel the paint right off your car and pit your windshield irreparably. And the heat? Fugedaboudit !! And that was before rampant plastic bags and plastic bottles. All we had was wind blown rubbish, paper bags, beer cans, fast food containers, etc. Finally, don't expect to live there long and enter any beauty contests. Having dried apricot ears and beef jerky hands isn't very attractive. Woof !! HAH !! The desert blast furnace and plastic bags. You guys are too much.
