Hypothetical question: if you could relocate anywhere in the US where would it be?
I work from home and my only job requirements are that I have reliable fast internet access and be reasonably near a major airport.
My own requirements are:
1. No oak trees. I'm very allergic to oak pollen and it is killing me.
2. Interesting landscape, mountains, rivers, etc with a variety of trails.
3. Reasonable cost of living, houses in the $200K range.
4. My other interest is photography: outdoor, landscape, wild life, birds, Land Rovers in their natural environment.
5. Rivers full of trout and fly fishing.
I live in Colorado Springs, CO and it sounds like you just described home. Ok, maybe #3 might be a bit hard to swing if your wife is a particular as mine, our 3 year old 4 bedroom 3100 sq ft condo is listed for $317,000. But everything else is spot on for the Springs area and as an added bonus we get 300+ days of sunshine per year. You should check it out.
If it posted, that is a picture from my office window. The snow capped mountain in the back is Pikes Peak, it may be hard to see between the clouds and my junky phone.

I've been to Denver and liked it, checking houses out at the moment. I'm not averse to a log cabin out in the sticks, just afraid of freezing my balls off.
Add me to the list for Colorado. I'd be more a Durango/Silverton area though.

Western Washington sounds like it could be a good fit....
1. Check
2. One of the best (when it's not raining)
3. Get far enough away from Seattle proper and it's reasonable
4. One of the best (when it's not raining)
5. We got that, then you can add in Salmon, Halibut, Steelhead....

That whole "when it's not raining" thing really puts a cramp in my outdoor activities. Plus my mother & father IN LAW live in Portland. I like to keep a several hundred mile buffer between us!

Yep, winter time around here is a real downer (I came here from TN and before that FL), but you seriously can't beat this area in the summer. But fair enough about the In-Law buffer

I am headed to Germany this summer for three years. That should keep the in-laws at bay for a bit.
The Problem with the Durango Silverton area is that it is a haul to a decent airport. Otherwise it fits Bundu’s needs and then some.
