we go to SF every chance we get and are definitely thinking of pulling the trigger on the same thing in the very near future. my wife is headed there this week to stay with a friend, and from the times we've been we've never lacked for anything to do...hiking, fishing, skiing, camping, rafting, etc. there's enough mountain hamlets close by to day trip visit to keep things interesting, and Albuquerque is only 60 miles and shithelldamn i commute that twice a week already going to one of my offices. fantastic food scene, farmer's markets, festivals, theatre, etc. we love it.
