California/Tahoe relocation suggestions?

It occurred to me that you might want to talk to folks with the Sierra Nevada Dog Drivers (www.sndd.org). They race and train on public lands in the Sierras and members live all over the region, from Reno to the Bay Area. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

California/Tahoe relocation suggestions?
I'd suggest taking a look at Bozeman, but this move appears to be
family related. Bozeman is year round sports. The problem is fairly high housing costs, tho perhaps lower than Tahoe, but low wages for the most part. rm " wrote: On May 14, 8:02 pm, Booker C.

Various other family members live in San Francisco, and other nearby areas. Those places are out of my price range (I assume) and are too crowded and too far from skiing for my tastes anyway. I've never been to Lake Tahoe or any of the areas between there and SF, but from what I've heard it sounds pretty nice. My outdoor interestes are road cycling and XC skiing, so ideally I'm looking for somplace rural or semi-rural where I can do these activities more or less any day I choose more or less right out my door. I have 3 small kids who like playing outdoors too so an urban or town setting probably wouldn't work for them either. I'm trying to narrow my search a bit so that I can have a look around this summer whan I visit my relatives. Suggestions? _ I could suggest 30 or 40 towns that would work, the problem is getting a job that will support a family. Basically, anywhere along rt 49 in the Sierra foothills would meet your descriptions. If you want to ski out your back door (literally,) that means somewhere above 5-6K feet and that limits the choices (and the road biking IMHO) a lot. If you can live with 30 mins driving to ski that's quite different. There is a lot of job and housing growth along the rt 20 corridor, east and north of Auburn. _ Booker C. Bense A 30min drive to skiing would be fine. In my perfect world, I could road bike 9 months and ski for 4-5. The only thing that keeps me off the road bike is (extremely) icy surfaces, and darkness. As for jobs, I'm pretty flexible, and an outlying area might have cheaper housing? If I wanted to go deeper into the mountains than the Auburn area, do you suppose along I-80 or Rt-50? Joseph |

It's a left turn off I-80.

I couldn't even find it on my California map anywhere KE Bozeman, MT |
