I Hate Cali. It has the best weather, local beaches, top of the line trails. In truth, even though I work at the beach, I want to live in the Carson Valley. Carson Valley is just the other side of Tahoe on the Nevada side. I lived around that area for 9 years. Top Rock climbing, Top notch 4x4 trails and free land, lakes, fishing, shooting, telemarking/skiing, cant beat it.
