    I should be graduating within the next year and would like to have things planned out as to where I will be moving once the time comes. Some things to consider are: I am a Spanish major and would like to move somewhere I can continue to learn as I am not fluent, reasonably low humidity, I love mountain biking (primarily XC/AM but may get into DH depending where I wind up), I work at Costco so I would need to chose a location that I could transfer to. Okay so California is out of the question for me because of all of the stupid laws. Washington seems like it would be lacking in sunlight for my taste. I was looking into Eagle/Vail area Colorado, Prescott Arizona and Carson City Nevada. Does anyone have any other recommendations I may be overlooking or could comment on the areas I have in mind in relation to what I'm looking to get out of the move? Thanks in advance TW

    Not sure about the lavese las manos part, but Bend, Oregon is very cool nestled just east of the Cascades, but far less rain than the towns east of the Cascades.

    Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls, Idaho are very nice towns in gorgeous country.

    We're heading that way for July 4th weekend to see how I handle extreme heat in consideration for a possible move there next March. We've had enough of the tornadoes and hail here in OK. Time to go!!!

    Definitely moving somewhere and we now have 2 kids living in Phoenix and one more moving back to San Diego at the end of August, and the misses wants to be near them. Who knows....

    The Bronx is nice. Has several Costco's. Everybody speaks Spanish and riding that bike in city traffic. It doesn't get better then that, especially when the Yankees are playing.

    You should consider Bend, Oregon. It's a bike/golf/ski/outdoor town. I moved from Seattle to here to get out of the rain and get some good MTB riding in. 300 days/yr of sunshine. There is some of the best MTB riding just a 10 minute ride from town (yes you can ride to the trailhead... no need to drive!) Plus even more riding around the state. Also plenty of dirt road to take the Tacoma on.

    (edit) Did I mention there's 15 breweries in town?

    So... I have to ask, why are you going to continue working at Costco if you have a college degree?

    Also, norther New Mexico is beautiful, has awesome mountain biking, and is sunny 90% of the time.
