My problem is that I don't want to live in a place I've already lived, although parts of California really appeal to me.
My criteria is pretty simple, although everything has to be within an hour or so drive: Good regional airline access, college town, mountains or high terrain or water, reasonable health care options, big enough for a garden for my wife.
I've actively looked at Montana (I was offered a job by the University) but the timing was poor since I wanted to get my son through High School here.
I love parts of the south but the summers are a deal breaker unless I can have a place to go where the summers aren't a slog. One of the best little towns in the country is in South Carolina, a place called Aiken. It is remarkably beautiful and sophisticated, and only 110 miles or so from the Atlantic.
A place that really intrigued me was outside of Walla Walla. My son and I stayed the night in Lewiston, ID and drove through Pomeroy and Dayton into WW. The drive was simply one of the best I had been on and the towns were really cool. I take another look soon.
