My wife's other sister lives in Grass Valley owning/running a horse ranch. Beautiful area; We don't visit as much as we should. She and her husband agree that the state is run by idiot children.

Ah yes - GV/Nevada City are sort of Auburn's sister towns up Highway 49. Really beautiful there as well.

The reason I'd always choose Auburn - if I were to go back to the area for the long term - over GV or NC is that it's right off of I-80. 3 minutes from the hosue where I grew up to I-80 and then a straight shot to SF or Sac - or a straight shot the other way to SLC (about 10 hours).

But Grass Valley is part of the map of my years growing up. Once got throw out of a stake dance in GV for trying to dance on top of a table. The sight of me being escorted out gave me just the renegade edge I needed to impress the local Mormon girls.

Not sure how old you are but did you know the Watley's in Auburn. The parents are still there I believe. Bunch of daughters around my age.

Was one of their daughters named Olivia?

If so I knew her a little and she was friends with a lot of the girls I grew up with but I don't remember interacting with her much.

But yes - the Watleys were definitely in one of the other Auburn wards (there are three).

I'm 1992 HS grad, if Olivia is who I'm thinking she would have been a year or two behind me.

[RC Vikings]

Rexburg - To Cold
Saskatoon - Even colder than Rexburg
Winnipeg - Even colder than Saskatoon
Provo - Warmer but no
Boise - I should have stayed here
Rexburg again - It's still pretty damn cold

I'm embarrassed to even post this after seeing oxcoug's list. Shouldn't that have been in that humblebrag post.

Yep that's them. Olivia is the youngest I believe. The ones I know best are older but I know the whole family. Actually spent a Christmas with them back in the day (86 or so I think).

Benicia, Ca- Yes
Vallejo, Ca- No
Spanish Fork, Ut- Yes

That about sums it up. By the way Oxcoug we have quite a bit of family in GrassValley/ NC. My Uncle was a park ranger up at Malakoff Diggins (if you know where that is) we spent almost every summer up there. I remember Auburn well as soon as we reached the In n Out I knew we were almost to the main freeway and back to civilization.

Utah - grew up in Sandy; now live in Murray. I like it now, though everyplace in SL County other than West Valley City is pretty much the same.

New York - Poughkeepsie. Yes, I'd live there again.

Damn, all kinds of CUF ties to the Foothills!

Yeah Auburn's In'N'Out was a small/strange point of pride for Auburnites as it was the first of the franchise in Northern California (and I think the first outside of So Cal other than Vegas).

Doesn't the high probability of being abducted and probed bother you?

Why do you think I moved here?

[FN Phat]

So I take it you're not voting in the poll:

http://www.preservationnation.org/tr...-destinations/

It makes it on desired destination lists because of the Ol' Hens that want to go to the Mecca that is the National Quilt Museum.

[Color Me Badd Fan]

Looks like a lot of you like Texas. Good wages/salaries, low cost of living and the best economy in the country.
