Carson seems pleasant enough, gas is cheap, as unlike Washoe county they don’t have enough Californians to vote themselves higher taxes (for the very best of reasons, of course!), there are a lot of activities, nearby lakes, mountains and historic towns, etc.
The Carson City Mint is still slightly active, they strike souvenir coins to order on Fridays and Saturdays.
I don’t know where you are escaping from, but you will find the people here polite and friendly.
You will also see quite a bit of open carry in Nevada.
Good hospitals, lots of casinos for entertainment, speaking of entertainment, as the state capitol they have politicians.
Not all that far from Area 51, watch the skies...
Thanks. (Area 51 is still an attraction even tho it’s been years since Art Bell left the air, ha!) cC also has no smog tests
