Which state to live in?

I have lived in MD, PA, VA, FL, So.Cal, No.Cal, Or. I spent 4 years travelling the US. Lots of real nice places. I ended up staying in Or and have been here 17 years. I liked Southern Or. a lot more than the Portland area but that's where the Jobs are. Montana is pretty awesome, but I needed to be near the coast. Depends on what you really want in life. I found when my own parameters were closely (outdoors, coast, white water, fishing etc) meet I would have to sacrifice finances.
