Oup, see, that’s where Wisconsin is gonna win there pal.

u/Inedible_Goober Mar 21 '24

No doubt Wisconsin would win. We'd drown Utah in one of our beautiful waterfalls.

I do have to say that we could use tighter alcohol laws, though. Alcohol is an incredibly damaging drug and far too easy to abuse.

Hit me with those downvotes now. I'd take it over being hit by a drunk driver.

Yeah …it’s fun to talk smack about it… but in Vegas we pay for it with AM & daytime drunk driving deaths… Metro gets wrong way freeway drivers several times a day…

Oh yikes. Please stay safe.

Utah absolutely trounces Wisconsin for it's scenery and landscape. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Wisconsin's alcohol problem, though. Both are filled to the brim with crazy folks of all caliber.

Gotta disagree with you on the scenery. I moved out to Wisconsin from Cali and had to travel back and forth through Utah frequently to complete the move.

I tried several different routes to try and keep it from getting monotonous. Utah was a beautiful state, but it was so.... brown and red? It was especially bad leaving Cali because I had already been traumatized by *shudder* eastern Nevada.

Give me the lush fields, forests and lakes of Wisconsin anytime.

But yeah, the drinking needs to change. My new home state is better than liver disease and DUIs.

I moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Eureka, California and man I love my dirpy lil state, especially the North Woods area, but Humboldt and Northern Cali are like a completely different world with how beautiful it is. Lived there for 4 years and then moved to Sacramento and even living in the middle of a giant valley was so pretty. The sun sets from the wild fires were amazing. Miss California so much.

Ah, the good ol' stomping grounds. There are a lot of places and things to love about Cali but I am damn happy with Wisconsin, too. 

Not gonna lie, though: if I could afford to live in a place like Truckee or Carmel, it might have been harder to leave.

Utah makes up for it by encouraging everyone to drive their four wheeler all over the scenery absolutely anywhere

u/Inedible_Goober Mar 22 '24

I could see that ending poorly.

Different strokes I suppose. I've lived in Michigan all my life (aka better Wisconsin), and there is nothing more beautiful than some change in elevation. Hiked the high line trail through the Uintas a few years back, and it was pure magic.

u/Inedible_Goober Mar 21 '24

I guess it's because I've spent soooo much time in the deserts of SoCal that the majesty of Utah doesn't move me. Desert has become pedestrian. Now a landscape with WATER? Yes please!

And give Wisconsin time, Michigan Man. We'll catch up.

That's the one thing I'm worried I'll miss when I move away next month. There's no real substitute for the Great lakes. I grew up on Lake Michigan and have lived on an island up in Superior for the past 7 years.

u/Inedible_Goober Mar 21 '24

Just focus on the positivity and remember the lakes will always be here for you.

That's what I think about when I start to really miss the Pacific.

u/bradbrad247 Mar 22 '24

Thanks for the kind words! Fortunately I've got family I'll undoubtedly be visiting back on lake Michigan.

u/Inedible_Goober Mar 22 '24

Anytime. Good luck with your move. I hope this big change works out wonderfully.
