Thanks guys,
Wilson, I'm about 6'1, so it might be tight.
BTW. I'm moving from Idaho to the southwest coast of Washington, right near the mouth of the Columbia river. Its sad to have to leave Idaho, but I was just offered a job over there that was hard to turn down. My apartment is about $400 a month. Nothing special but the location is nice. I can hear the surf from my porch. I absolutely detest cities, lived in one for 8 months and almost lost my mind.
I think you ought to start a thread entitled something like "where should I move to?" Tell us what kind of environment you want (urban/rural, hot/cold, wet/dry, coastal/mountains/plains, conservative/liberal, etc). I trust the advice of people on this board more than that of a lot of other people I've met. I think most people here would stumble over themselves to help you find a place to your liking or tell you where to avoid. I've lived in or traveled to several regions of the country. So far the northwest coast (excluding Seattle and Portland) and most places in the Rockies away from urban areas are my fovorates. Never been to Alaska, but hope to make the trip in a year or two. You can have the east coast (except maybe Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) as far as I'm concerned. Forget California. The south is awesome in many ways (great attitudes, friendly people, great barbecue) but too hot for me.
AFARR, great idea. I just might do that. I have to look into that one when I finish moving in.
