Where would you move out west?
Wyoming is a great place,,,,but why do you think nobody lives there?
Because it is so freakin' cold. I lived in Wyoming for 5 years. It is the coldest, windiest, longest winter, (ah, but it is a dry cold!) No one lasts up there. Jackson Hole is pretty groovy, and they know it $$.
I first moved up there in June....It snowed 7" in my front yard.
Colorado has a reasonable winter, and a good economy,,,,,but they can be pretty liberal too....
Arizona has a good economy, get out of the desert and it's pretty nice. AZ is only about half desert.
AZ is quite conservative, and you can license ATVs for the street. Phoenix is huge.
Utah has that damn mormon thing, but if you live in Southern Utah, you can always pop down to Vegas to keep your sanity. It is conservative, no hippies, and family values are over the top. And great riding.
Nevada has its pluses and minuses like everywhere else. Not the best place to raise kids. Gotta keep your daughters off the "pole" as Chris Rock says.
California has too many people and too many laws.
Oregon has too many hippies and liberals.
Montana has that cold thing, but not as bad as Wyoming (Wyoming is very high in elevation as well as being right on the rockies and pretty far north.)
Southern New Mexico rates pretty high with me, but the economy is weak, jobs and money are scarce.
Northern New Mexico, well, I think I have said enough about that ****hole.

Riding on the streets...LOL, that'd give police heart attacks here. Reminds me of being chased on my dirt bike as a kid by park rangers when they saw me riding on the streets. All of those states have +/-. Right now I'm trying to find link to newspapers in those states so I can check out the jobs, as well as read about local news to see what's going on (like what problems they are having). I found real estate listings for them already, and WY seems to be more expensive than the rest. Found some great sites with pics of the states too, kids like what they see.

LOL, that's a good question. I've done alot of things....let's see.....right now I own a repair shop/ towing business/gas station (ya, I do some work on cars and drive the trucks too),.....b4 that I practiced law for several years here (then got tired of slimy attorneys so left the field)...b4 that was criminal investigator, dir. of security, been a firefighter/ EMT/ Haz Mat tech.... Most of the jobs I've seen posted in those states relate to the medical field. May have to take few years of school to get job in that area I guess, but would be worth it to finally head west.

If it were me I'd opt for mt. or nv., maybe Id. been all over the U.S. when I was in military, these are the states I WILL set up shop in the near future, right now I reside in Ia.. If I ever get the wife to see it my way we will moveto one of these states, there are always good and bad parts of a state as far as crime, jobs or whatever, but almost anything west of the miss. river and east of the extreme west coast would certainly be better than Md.

Just keep thinking that way, you have to be, well not soft to live here. Not giving you sh*t either.
