I was born in the West and spent 15 years in New England before coming home to tall mountains, wild horses, ghost towns, and the open space between them all. It really becomes a state of mind. There were things about New England that I loved, but I was never at home there. Give me small town west any day.
My family moved from southern Oregon to Fernley in 1980. We went from timber country to high desert. It was how different the rain smelled here that got me, along with the fast blue sky. Northern Nevada has changed so much since then but I can't think of a better place to live.
