Most of Nevada is awesome. Here we are right at the base of the Sierras, only about 1.5 hours from the Rubicon and Fordyce, only .5 hours from Lake Tahoe itself. Plus, we have tons of desert with almost never ending trails on public land. The job and housing markets are in shambles (good if you are looking to buy and can find work), but the views and outdoor access is unparalleled. The gun laws are great, and there are plenty of places to go shooting.
