Check out Allegiant Air out of Stockton for flights. If you book a couple of weeks in advance, $45 each way, a couple of days, $100 each way. Direct flight and airport parking is $10 a day.So Id have to only get 5 mpg to have it be a wash to one way to Vegas.
It’s still $500 cheaper at 5 mpg to round trip it rather than one way.
At 10 mpg it’s even cheaper yet.
Also, if I round trip it saves a one way flight from Vegas to retrieve Tahoe and boat.
No brainer. Just more road miles.
Hell 600 miles is nothin for me.
A couple weeks I pulled up next to a big nice Maserati with CA plates. I rolled my window down a gave the guy a little wave to roll his down...When he did I says nice car man but someone vandalized the back. He says WHAT! I said ya man someone put a CA plate on it. He wasn't very amused by that.
Check into Penske. Similar price, but diesel.
Never really agreed with any of the Ca ideas anyhow.
Don’t worry, we won’t California Nevada
Hoping to add to the RED vote here. There is a reason we’re in BC and not Henderson or any other Vegas suburbToo late! Thanks to Clark County and Washoe (Reno), we now have a POS democrap governor that is trying to turn NV into CA as quickly as possible. These is a recall movement though but not sure if it is going to be successful.
Most of NV would love to turn Clark County over to CA. We don't want it!
Local 18?Same industry. Most likely a different company. I work for the Elevator constructors union so my pay and benefits will remain the same.
Yes.Local 18?
We have that here in NorCal.Been here 13 years now and have always said if Ca. adopted some of the Az highway rules would probably ease some traffic. Like having the diamond lane open to single drivers after hours, weekends especially. Good luck with the move and new digs Riley.
Dang and I’m m still in ca
Good luck the move . Hell ya
I just don’t know where to start or how to get out of this screwed up calif state .
It is definitely a “ph”.Congratulations Steven and A. Didn't want to misspell her name......or yours so I hope it's not ph
Dammit, I had a 50/50 chance. lolIt is definitely a “ph”.
But I won’t hold it against ya Zig.
And her whole family calls her “A”. Even her mom can’t get her name right half the time. And she picked it. lol
I love that little town. Wife's sister, adult nieces and nephews live out there. It really has that old town Americana feel. When I was there I didn't see in gang bangers, taggers, vagrants, problems, etc. I'm sure, just like every city there's issues but geez it seemed like a really nice place to live. Right down the road from a bitchen lake too. Congrats!
Regarding the flood gates open to leave Ca. My tax guy did his own little survey. He does taxes for civil servants and does about 3500 returns each tax season. He pooled 500 or so of his clients and asked them - A) Do you 100% plan to leave Ca upon retirement B) 100% plan on staying C) Undecided. Roughly 12 said they planned on staying and 12ish were undecided. Every single other one said they were leaving. I think it's worse than the media leads on (shocking, I know).
12 of 26 In my Station are either already gone or leaving out of state at retirement.
The out of state retirement rate is easily 50% or higher in the first responder field, especially for LA.
I can pretty much travel to any part of Texas or the Carolinas/Tennessee and visit former co workers.
The true sign of the exodus is the pics of retired guys meeting up in the monthly work paper (The Blue Line). The group photos of out of state meet ups are sometimes bigger than the retired Ca. Groups.
Plan is to be in the AZ group pic one day, lol
I can tell you first hand the cash you make in California goes a long way in most other states. So many retired police and fire getting a nice pension living in the less expensive areas of the country. I have also seen quite a few people move to Havasu, stop boating and bitch about the summers. I guess people like to bitch.
We have a widow of an Officer killed overseas that moved to TN about six years ago. The difference on the dollar was 33% better there. She sold a track home in YL in the $700's and bought several acres and a much larger home in TN.
The cost of living equation works better in almost every other state sans Hawaii.
Yes for retirement. What about working as an Officer in almost every other state?

One word in Clark County...UnionsToo late! Thanks to Clark County and Washoe (Reno), we now have a POS democrap governor that is trying to turn NV into CA as quickly as possible. These is a recall movement though but not sure if it is going to be successful.

That's great for the OP.....lolOne word in Clark County...Unions

Curious, I've looked at retired living in TN, mostly for the boating potential. How does she enjoy the cold-ass winters, hot humid summers and only having maybe four months of the year to enjoy the outdoors ?
My kinda younger wife's going to retire from an awesome CA job in a couple of years, so I'm looking for our retired living 'Holy Grail' almost daily on the web.
Been in Havasu for 26 years, wouldn't consider living there full time due to Summer assclowns, sweltering summer temps and lack of medical.
Love our AZ mountain ranch, but no real medical within 200 miles, plus should I croak, property up there takes a while to sell --- don't want to leave my wife trapped.
So seriously, we can afford to remain here in CA, but I'd like to leave and have a home & dock on the water --- just don't know where to go --- YET
I do certainly enjoy this subject being discussed here on RDP and enjoy reading all the points of view --- thanks
I don't understand how you can be happy that tax paying citizens are leaving the state? That is like getting happy a tenant is moving out causing you to pay the mortgage yourself. I don't get it.
Pic # 2 Looks like he kept the old outhouse for emergency backup.We have a really good friend (actually the guy that owns the Cigarette Tiger that RD was with at LOTO when he broke his ankle) who lives in Collierville Ten. (about 30 minutes outside of Memphis). It is absolutely STUNNINGLY beautiful. He's got a few acres in a very nice house probably valued at 400k. He also has a house on Baysprings Lake in Mississippi about 2 hrs s/e from his house. From that lake you can actually boat up through the river to Pickwick Lake that is a big party lake (and poker run lake). Collierville is very nice, very chill decent sized town. It's a 6 hr drive to LOTO (huge party / poker run / events lake), 5 hr drive to Lake Cumberland (huge party / poker run lake) and 2 hour drive to Pickwick Lake. He has a vee drive and a jet boat he leaves down in Baysprings and then the Cigarette for running around other lakes. The winters aren't that bad, like dusting of snow. Summers are hot and humid like anywhere else in the Midwest. Your Ca. dollar goes a LOOOOOONG way though.
House in Collierville and pics from the cabin and Baysprings lake.

Seems like there are just as many people moving to CA has there are leaving for retirement. In some areas they can't build enough houses and many don't stay on the market very long. Construction in So Cal is booming right now.I don't understand how you can be happy that tax paying citizens are leaving the state?
