Our county is only 3% private land, the rest is National Forest, National Park, Wildlife refuge or other public land. We have just about every outdoor activity out there, a vibrant arts and culture scene, high quality restaurants, fun nightlife, and a community concerned with maintaining the quality of our environment. I love that where I live has a high "Popsicle index." I can send my kids to the general store for milk or ice cream, and feel that they will be fine.
