Thanks Car. Yeah, I would highly recommend Courtright btw. To take this topic way off the rails, it is like toulumne meadows without the people and the rules. But it is a long ways back there with some pretty windy roads. Not as bad as mineral king though.

One other fun fact is that the Courtright Wishon reservoir system acts like a giant natural rechargeable battery. Courtright is 750 ft or so higher and so during the day they release water from the lake to turn turbines emptying the water into wishon. Then at night when electicity isn’t needed, they pump the water back up to courtright from wishon. Crazy!

BG, you need to try living in some other place than s. county san diego. It really is a hole, despite all your protesting. Move to Portland or Denver or Minneapolis or eastern Sac! (yes yes I know my bias is showing) You will see that life is so much cleaner and safer for the money.[/quote]

So, how are you liking the Sacramento area so far? Any temptation to move back, or totally laughing about the fact that you ever wanted to live in SD in the first place?[/quote]

CAR, thank you for asking. But with everything in life, its complicated.

We freaking love it. We live on 15 acres in a single family residence and I pay 1100 per month in rent. We skied powder 30+ days last winter, and we are currently going to the mountains every weekend. We went to courtright res last weekend. That place is amazing, has anyone been there there? I think it is a new favorite of mine. We would live here forever if there was family here.

But alas, the discussion of where we are going to buy and put down roots is a daily back and forth.

With family the main driving force, we are either going to move back to SD or minneapolis. My wife’s family lives in irvine, but we will be damned if we move to that development hell hole, so the sailing life in point loma still has serious draw and it is close enough. I guess we have to decide if we want to be a single income family, or dual…

But today at least, MN is winning the fight. Tomorrow is a different story though:)

I do love SD, for no other reason than its quality of recreation beating at the doorstep. THe sailing is suburb, and the surfing would be if it wasn’t so crowded. There is always ralphs when you are sick of the crowds.

When I lived in Del Mar and worked in Poway, I used to take my mountain bike that way. Los penasquitos preserve was my main thoroughfare. It was kind of surreal to do nearly that whole <20 miles almost exclusively on dirt. Cool swath of natural space, but some of the stuff nearer to Poway were the creek goes under the 15 was more interesting and less visited.

There is a myriad of trails in that preserve from straightforward fireroad to tangles of single track.

I also really liked sycamore canyon a lot.
