Default Where WOULD you live?

I live in NJ ,not exactly the off road capitol off the world.Ive loved offroading and offroad racing all my life.I often think of moving out west were its more popular.
Question 1: If you could live anywhere, being involved in offroading ,where would it be?

Question2: Why?

Thanks for playing.

P.S. Anyone from Carson City Nevada on here?

Default Good Question

and various answers. Let's start with: (in no particular order)
Las Vegas:
300 Miles to Glamis (Gordon's Well and Buttercup in same area)
110 miles to Dumont
650 miles to St. Anthony
1050 miles to Coos Bay, OR
Why: You are in the middle of the best but have to drive a bit. Oh, and no state taxes plus the cost of housing should be less than CA.

Yuma:
13 miles to Gordons Well and Buttercup (a few more to Glamis)
Why: See above. Plus if you like boating then the Colorado River is the summer activity along with night rides at the dunes.


San Diego:
150 miles to Glamis etc.
260 miles to Dumont.
1000 miles to St. Anthony
980 miles to Coos Bay
Why: Glamis etc. I grew up there and would live there but may never be able to afford to return. Lots of great things to do there. Great desert riding too. Plus Mexico.

Oregon:
The Oregon coast.
750 miles to St Anthony
Why: I can afford to live here overall the sand is good. The weather here is temperate. I choose Washington because it has no state tax. However, if you work in Oregon you have the pleasure of taxation without representation.

Oklahoma:
Ask Yoshi
Why: - look at his shop. I think it is more than you would possibly get anywhere else.
Why not? So far from the rest of the sand.

Retirement dream: Snowbird to Yuma. Spend time at St. Anthony and Oregon coast during summers. Have a NW coastal home for summer.

Yuma is the one I keep thinking about, but I am just not sure if I could handle the heat in the summer months.

Phoenix!!
3.5 hours from either Buttercup or Glamis
5 hours from Vegas
4 hours from Rocky Point (Mexico)
4-7 hours from most of SoCal
4-7 hours from the beach.
8 hours from skiing in the Rockies
Surrounded by the desert - 10 minutes to play time.
and best for last: 29 hours AWAY from Cincinnati and winter.

Default Re: Where WOULD you live?

My time in Yuma has just been passing through. I visited the historic territorial prison, bought groceries and gas.

Here is a link to Yuma that will help answer many questions.

My daughters. *Youngest is a 5th grader, so I have 7 more years in Snowy Winter land... * Joke around the house is that we don't know who'll move the quickest once she graduates.
