Hey all

I don't usually post, just a lurker.  But I would appreaciate some input, 
advice, throughts from all you westerners. The good and the bad.  I am a born 
and raised easterner about to make a big change.  I am moving from upstate NY 
to central CA near Yosemite.  I am a horse vet that has had to work on way too 
many cows over the years and heaven is waiting for me out in CA with an all 
equine vet practice.  Of course I am bringing my endurance horses and plan to 
continue to ride and vet rides.  Yep I am already entered for this year's Tevis.

Any thoughts, advice etc on anything about CA and what it is like to live out 
there - i.e. I am bringing little kids and need to know about the schools and 
what the environment is like for kids.   And of course the move itself is going 
to be monumental - moving a farm here to a ranchette ( I guess that's what they 
call them) out there.

I understand I have to put up with rattlesnakes, enteroliths, sand colics, hard 
to find grass hay and of course the usual CA issues of earthquakes, floods, and 
fires.  It all seems worth it to me for the climate and the ability to ride 
from my back door into 3000 acres of the Sierras.  But maybe I am missing 
something?

Thanks
Jeanette (Jay) Mero
