Leaving Tahoe

So I was lucky enough to be born and raised in Lake Tahoe but its time to get out of here. wheres a place with similar vibes and cool people?
 
Good luck:) It must be different for you since you where born and raised there. I was born and raised 2 hours away, lived there since I was 19, I'm almost 30 now so about 9 years with a couple years here and there. Every Time I left, i felt away from home and wasn't myself again until I went back. Its a draw for me, a spiritual place. The crest is my church i guess, something about the insignificance one feels when in or around the basin.Few places if any will ever fill the void for me.

Somewhere north would do it for me. Maybe the olympic peninsula, somewhere on the oregon coast or perhaps mendocino or humboldt county. If it was a city probably San Francisco, Portland or seattle would work. I feel salt lake or Colorado wouldn't work because it would be like tahoe but only half is good(No massive lake 26 miles long,9 miles wide and enough water to blanket the state of california 2 inches deep) I wish you luck! and worst case (or best) its not going anywhere quickly.

Seattle is pretty close. It has the jagged wilderness, water, snow, vastness etc, but it really lacks the cold and warmth. And the sun. Tahoe gets 300+ days of sun. thats a really underrated thing if you love the outdoors.

Im really surprised someone on ns besides me has been there

I won my first race down there in 2006 and we have gone twice a year ever since. I never spent much time in the town but I am definitely going to miss those trips.
 
If you can swing the Canada thing, come to the West Kootenays. It's like a blend between the emerald triangle and Tahoe. If you can't manage the logistics of Canada as an American I recommend somewhere in the PNW.
 
And yeah, I think it's time for a mass exodus of Tahoe sadly. A few years ago I was looking into the logistics of moving down there from Canada, but this is what? the 4th dry year in a row with pretty much all long term models leaning towards this being a continuing trend. I think there's going to be about 20 million people about to get relocated out of SoCal in the next decade.

Its what happens when you spend all your money on social issues and all your time pillaging the water rights of little towns hundreds of miles away, instead of investing in a few desalination plants.

Agreed...california politics has ruined that state. I think its Israel that has one of the most advanced desalination plants in the world and is massively successful using it. A couple of those would solve a lot of problems. Stop giving money to the illegals

Well that last sentence was quite ignorant. You think everyone in New York is legal? You would do the same thing 90% of them are doing if you were in there position. You buy produce from the west coast? your giving money to "illegals".California and the southwest was Mexico before it was the USA.

Does this mean I'll be able to pet your dog??

of course haha. im buying her a service vest so i can take her with me everywhere lol.

but actually bozeman is awesome. bellingham is another great place (where i am leaving potentially). I, like you grew up in an awesome place but want to see what else there is out there. montana offers a lot for us mountain folk.

I always planned on moving there for a few years after school but now I'm thinking there are better places to be. I'm just glad I got to live there during a good snow year. It is one of my absolute favorite places
