Hi, Bodie358. I'm from So Cal, too. Lived in L.A. and Ventura counties, traveled from Simi Valley to Van Nuys and Rancho Cucamonga to work. Can't say I miss the commute or the smog, but I really miss the people![/quote]
I actually live half the year in So Cal and half the year in Central California - near Yosemite. I get tired of the traffic and smog and go up. Then I get bored with all the peace and quiet and come back down. Works for me.
