Beautiful - I have the talent and resources to live there, just not the desire. Love to visit a few times per year.

Yep, it is an unarguable fact Hwy1 along the coast is pretty. As long as the roads are open and no mudslides have it closed, or a firestorm is raging. Evey place has some bad days, and unfortunate weather. It is part of nature.
I enjoyed my week long stay in Monterey. Way too much traffic for my tastes, but I still like the area. For my trip home, the drive east from Dos Palos all the way to Arizona was some cities I would never want to live in. Once into Arizona the scenery finally was pretty again.
Utah has some magnificent national parks. And it has some areas of desert that has no signs of any life. Nothing green, just rocks and sand for endless miles, not even a city to be found.
