Calvin, have you thought about or considered Boise? I spent 3 years in Idaho and loved it, if I didn't have the love for Alaska i'd move back there in a heartbeat.
Funny you should bring up Boise... that was going to be my suggestion until I noticed the grandparent's part of the equation.

Traffic in Anchorage? That has to be a joke, if you want to see traffic, try driving through Seattle or worse yet, Boston.  Alaska traffic is a piece of cake compared to any city in the lower 48. Calvin, have you thought about or considered Boise? I spent 3 years in Idaho and loved it, if I didn't have the love for Alaska i'd move back there in a heartbeat. Yeah, downtown Boston -- been there, done that a lot. About as bad as Manhattan. Boise is nice. Big enough to actually have some culture but yet small enough to be quaint.

I found the first rule of driving in Boston : Never look another driver in the eye.If you want to change lanes. Just do it. Put your turn signal on and crank it over, because no one will ever let you in.

I found the second rule: Take a cab.

Ya, if Calvin wasnt set on Colorado i'd say cache valley UT is worth checking out .
One thing about living on the front range in colorado, it will make you really appreciate going back to AK.. One of the smaller towns from Glenwood to Vail CO would be livable to me as well, as would montrose on the western end of the state..

Yeah, Calvin, if you end up being a resident of Montrose, stop in and see Brad and let him know (again) that he seriously needs to start considering a sheep season along the upper reaches of the San Manuel. I believe he now has his 50 sheep in there, that he wanted.

Unless Colorado can get their recent stupid azz gun laws reversed with a few more recalls, they'd be way down on my list, and this is coming from a guy who just moved to Oregon.

Was Oregon at the top of your list?

Which specific gun laws are you referring to? Not asking to be a smart ass but we recently moved here and the only weird law I know about is the 15 round mag restriction. And that law is so full of holes it can not be enforced because people who already owned them are grand fathered in. Even the BX at Peterson still sells 30 round mags. When I asked them how they can do it they said they reside on federal land and are exempt from Colorado laws. But, if you buy one you legally can not take it off base. Like I said, this law is basically unenforceable.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

New gun laws haven't affected me one bit.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

I have more 30-round mags than I can ever wear out.
The other "stupid law" is universal background checks. We (gun owners) keep saying the best way to prevent more Sandy Hooks or Virginia Techs or Theater shootings is to keep guns out of the hands of kooks. The law may not be ideal, but how are you gonna keep guns out of the hands of kooks without background checks?
