I guess I should be more grateful for Sacramento. At 30 feet above sea level, we're only an hour and a half from elevations over 7,000 feet. The ocean is an hour and a half away. We have the Sacramento and American River for boating, a large number of lakes within an hour drive. Temps. range from freezing in the winter to 110-112 in the summer. Places like Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, the California Redwoods and Lake Tahoe all within two hours.
The down side of course, as with all of Calif, is the cost of living. Homes are starting to depreciate a little (so we're loosing some of that 100% appreciation that we gained over the past three years) so if you hurry........you might find a very small house for under half a million.
