The job scene isn't so great in and around Arcata though, this could be a problem.

If you want warmer weather and no rain. San diego is the ticket and the beaches are better and warmer then san fran or oregon. mexico like ten is alot easier to get to if you wanna make a trip to baja or whatever. It is kinda a younger crowd at the gas lamp with the college so close.

Kentucky, lol. Great for bourbon and horse races but seriously I've never been to the blue grass state which is why I write these stereotypes. New Mexico sounds good from a previous poster with the people and weather wise. I might end up there when the time is right.

New Mexico does seem nice. But it also seems very isolated. There's Albuquerque and Santa Fe... then nothingness. Job market's supposed to be good in Albuquerque area and not much snow though. The mountains around there look beautiful too.

i just think tripping in the desert or in the mountains of New Mexico would be epic! absolutely beautiful scenery in that part of the country.

That's EXACTLY why I moved here hahaha..
On a more serious note: it's absolutely fucking gorgeous here, the coast isn't that far away, there are jobs if you're looking for them, and there are a ton of mushroom species to hunt for.. I've only been here about 6 months, and so far, it's my favorite place I have lived in. I would give it some serious thought. .

Job growth is actually very slow in Portland and the surrounding suburbs. And unemployment is 11.1%...
I can't comment on the beauty. I'm sure it's gorgeous. I'd get depressed with the clouds and the rain though.

Job growth is slow, but he said he wasn't above working at mcdonald's, meaning menial work to me.. there are jobs if you're looking and willing to work them.
