The weather can best be appreciated if one can get
to it....before pulling up stakes one might consider
the ramifications of a blown jug, failed medical, outrageous
increase in commercial insurance rates, development
pressures on airport usage. Unfortunately over time
these seem to work against our sport.

If you intend to self-launch, ignore the above. And
if you are in fact a self-launcher and enjoy desolation...anywhere
in the Great Basin should fit the bill. Otherwise
for the Western US, my humble suggestions would be
in no particular order the metro areas of Albuqurque,
Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Reno, Salt Lake City and
SoCal.. At this time there seem to be enough clubs/commercial
operations to justify a move to one of these areas.
Other opinions may vary.
