where should I move to??

here is the deal. I love riding snowmobiles in the winter and love riding sand dunes in the summer, I also love burning wood. so I was wondering where would be the best place to move to?? I was thinking Wyoming, so I could ride at kill pecker dunes. but they don't get much snow. plus there is no woods to cut firewood to keep me warm. I also thought of Alaska. but everyone burns wood there, so scrounging wood is almost out, plus no dunes. clearly southern california is out, so what is a guy to do??? is there a place with trees, snow, and sand dunes? or am I dreaming?

 

North Western Michigan

 

I'm with papadave on this one. Shouldn't have to travel very far for wither of your wants.

But, remember, he's talking about the lower peninsula, NOT the U.P.!!!!!

 

Yep, northern west side of Michigan’s lower checks all those boxes.

 

Thanks for pointing out the distinction for him. You got sand dunes up there? Wife and I went to Marquette and other places about 20 years ago, and I don't remember any, but we weren't looking for 'em either.

 

I don't think so....not like the ones you have down there anyway!

 

Look around Steamboat Springs, Colo. You're a few hours from Kill Pecker, but 30min. to sledding for 7 months a year. Rabbit Ears Pass is pretty close to Steamboat.
Just a thought.

 

that's a good idea!!! thank you

 

hmmm sounds like its right up my alley!!!

 

eigh, Its just a pipe dream at this point. I've lived in the same place for all these years finally got set up the way I like it. but a guy can dream cant he?

 

Rexburg idaho, st Anthony's dunes, yellow stone and mountains. Just don't buy the snake house.

 

One of my sons lives lives about an hour north of Denver (Fort Collings) His winter temps deem to run in the 50/60 range. But he has had to shovel a few times. He can drive about an hour to go snowboarding, so I imagine there has be trails for snowmobiles. He goes up in the hills every Xmas to cut his own tree and he has told me many times "mom, we have trees here you can cut firewood. Just can't help you with sand dunes.

 

Great skiing and boarding in the Taos and Pecos wilderness areas in north central NM, lots of farwood available in the national forests (cheap permit required), and lots of desert terrain w/ plenty of rocks and sand and accessibility. I have seen snow machines and snow cats on trailers heading for higher elevations during the winter here, and over in the eastern (not East) mountains, Sangue de Cristo range, is probably the best area for snowmobiles. HTH

 

North west Michigan or northern New Mexico.

 

wow beautiful pictures!!! doesn't look like they let motor vehicles on those dunes though. and yes i could definitely ride on 50-77 inches of snow. I'm just drooling over the thought of it.
