Ranger Green,
If for some horrible reason you decide to stay in Cali, Modoc county will welcome you and your vote.
Presently 88F after a high around 90F, 13% humidity, and a 14 MPH breeze keeping the skeeters down a bit.
Plenty of public land for recreating, even hunting if you can draw a tag.
I hope you find your dream location. Cali likely isn't it.
