Nevada Mamas - info, please!  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
My husband and I live in New England, and with his recent layoff we are contemplating a relocation to Nevada.

Trouble is, I've only been there once, 12 years ago, and he never has. We don't know much about it, except what I've been able to find on the internet and vaguely remember from my trip to Reno in 1996.

Would some of you Nevada Mamas (or Papas -- we're very egalitarian) be willing to act as mentors for us? To answer questions -- even if they're silly ones! -- and perhaps point me to where we can find out more?

We would like to be within an easy days' drive from the Bay area where our grandparents live, so I am thinking about the Reno area. Also, I did like it there in 1996 -- not Reno itself, with all the casinos, but the countryside outside Reno was just gorgeous.

We don't gamble, and we prefer to live very simply. We aspire to minimalism. So would any of you be willing to share your knowledge helping us find ourselves a new life on the other side of the country? I have tons of questions!

Thank you!

(And of course, if anyone is thinking about moving to New England, I'd be more than happy to return the favor.)

You could try the RenoNaturalMother list on yahoogroup: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RenoNaturalMother/ There are a lot of Nevada mothers there, in Reno and surrounding areas who would be willing to answer your questions.

I live in Sparks (NE of Reno) and it is pretty nice here. Pm me if you need to ask any questions about the are. We visited the Bay Area once a month for about a year before FIL died unexpectedly, and it was a doable drive, though after a while our dd got really sick of it, she was under 18 months at the time and now that she's older we can time the drive better.

I've lived 50 miles south of Reno, in Gardnerville, for aobut 18 years, so feel free to ask if interested in this area. It's semi rural but growing quickly, and also about a half hour from South Lake Tahoe.

All our relatives are in the bay area, and we've made the drive thousands of times ( I even worked down there for two years and commuted on weekends) It's about a four hour drive depending on traffic and where you're headed.

I live 30 minutes outside of Reno. I love the area. PM any of us if you have any questions.
