Texas might be a good stepping-stone to the west.
It was for me. Spent about 12 years there, first
in Dallas, then in Austin. I moved to Dallas after
growing up in the Chicago suburbs, and getting my
BSEE at Purdue in Central Indiana. I have many fond
memories of Texas - the pine forests of East Texas,
Big Bend, the coast from Galveston to South Padre,
trips to Mexico (including Bustamante), the Riverwalk
in San Antonio, ... However, I left Texas for Wyoming
not too long ago.
If you are like me, you will figure out that for
the size that Texas is, it is sadly lacking in
public lands and those that it does have are some
distance apart. Which is one of the reasons I left.
That, and the traffic, the unending heat and no real
seasonal variations, roaches, fire ants, increasing
Hispanic population, the entitlement mentality, ...
In contrast to Texas, only about 40% of the land in
Wyoming is privately owned land. Something like 26
of 65 million acres. Granted, a significant amount
of land is tied up in 100 year grazing leases and
minerals exploration/exploitation and there isn't
really any 'public' access to these 'public' lands.
But there sure is a lot of public land that is
accessible. Sheridan sits next to over a million
acres of forested public land (the Bighorn National
Forest) and even more high mountain desert on the
other side in BLM land. Job opportunity wise, things
are lacking unfortunately.
Montana might be a good choice - Billings or
something. Things seem to be jumping a little
more up there but they are in such dire straits
financially. I don't see how they can fix things
with out significant increases in taxation.

Not here in Kalifornia, unfortunately, it is a fact, illegal aligns
may drive illegally, and how with this new identification may fly to
your area, instead of paying a coyote to drive them in an over loaded
van. I hope not many Al-Qaida take advantage and take down another air
bus.

Re: OT texas help
Once the foam settles down in your mouth, see if you can
find any of the early, non-rabid news articles which note
that there are already *other* states which already allow
undocumented aliens to get driver's licenses so they can
be kept track of.
