But, Could Mark Live Here?
This state is a good candidate, with it's rugged terrain and varied scenery. I love the mountains - and this place has a lot of them. They are humbling; you can drive for miles, staring at the same mountain and you don't seem to be getting any closer, then it all changes. Or you will be driving along, and you'll come over a rise and there will be a spectacular scene for you to enjoy.
Downside: No ocean.
