[quote=deadzone]What’s so great about Napa? Boring….[/quote]

Well then, you can head on south then to Laguna Seca if that’s your thing. Plenty of things to do there within driving distance.

Personally, I like the tranquility in Napa… And if home prices tank further, might be my ideal place to relax and retire.

Winter time is fun time because Tahoe is just 3.5 hrs away from SF. Here, that gets us to Big Bear (roughly) which blows.

Summertime is great in Tahoe…Also, if you head on over to Merced, you can do some decent white water rafting.

Plenty of things to do if you make time.

I guess Vegas is closer from here, and going to Reno isn’t the same thing. But gambling is gambling in my book.
