The high desert out and away from the coast (east of the Sierra Nevada mountains).

I loved the scenery and feel of Gallup and it is close enough to AZ and CA to be the best choice for me overall. But then there is Lone Pine CA - small town community near the mountains (Mt. Whitney) where I always said I wanted to retire to. Slow, simple, small town. But deep too I just absolutely found NM magical (I tried to get a job in Albuquerque but it fell through, went all the way across country just to interview there in hopes I could move there).
