@Mister_Sunshine @GluedToTheScreen yea we'd had the same talk about MT, mine also doesn't really like real winter which is why northern vermont or nh probably wouldn't work for her, same goes for north idaho i dont think she'd like the climate year round.

we talked about the sedona area, loved that and out toward grand canyon seems awesome for like homesteading

northeast utah up toward idaho and co borders looks nice, like enough trees so its not a crazy beaten on desert
