Did you forget to mention the flooding or doesn't that happen anymore?

Nope, Elsinore does not flood anymore, due to the installed flood
control measures
upstream and on the Lake itself.

Also the water quality has become a priority and is no longer a
problem due to thecontrol and measures they installed in the lake.

If you have not been to Elsinore in the last few years then you would
not know it anymore, there has been a lot
of good changes and it is currently one of the best kept secrets in
SoCal. so Shhhhhhh!....lets only tell the glider pilots.

Where else could you get property with private access to any body of
water in SoCal for under 200K ?

Let alone in a place so conveniently loacated to the bigger centers,
yet far enough away to be out of the rat race?

Lake Elsinore was nice at one time but ..

"The air quality in Lake Elsinore is generally not very good in the
summer and fall, the result of an inversion layer, the convergence, and
pollutants upstream from the Los Angeles basin. "

I've flown all over the country and often thought this myself.

Hands down I would pick Knoxville, TN. No income tax, cheap cost of
living, your money goes alot further there. There are record setting
ridges. Plentiful thermal and wave. I've clipped through the top of
lenticular clouds at 25,000 feet before. The intelligence level of
the majority of the population far surpasses much of the rest of the
United States. You get a variety of 4 seasons. Great public schools,
great college schools for your kids. And it's centrally located
amongst many regional contests and the GTA glider racing community.
If your in to hiking, canoeing, kayaking it's all in your backyard.
The summer's don't get too hot, and the winters don't get too cold.
Gatlinburg is just an hour's drive. Gatlinburg is one of the most
popular vacation spots in the appalachian mountains. Lots of good
restaurants too.

If my wife wasn't still attached to her mother by her embillical
chord.....we would have moved to Knoxville 5 years ago!
