My husband and I are retired, living in Alaska and I am ready to get out of the cold. I have been doing research into areas to live where I can have a nice garden, mild winters and not overcast/Rainey in the winter. I had gone to high school in the late 60's in RR, lived in GP and Medford. Wanted a little more in the hills for cooler temps. I also have Aussies and enjoy agility, herding, ect. Can I please get more info on CJ area. Taxes, property, things to watch for, nice areas to look for a place. We want acreage and kind of out of the way but utilities a must. I like CJ area because close to beaches but inland enough to get out of the rain. Any suggestions and tips please
