I adore your night skies and natural wonders. I want to buy land in the middle of nowhere, probably out by Santa Rosa, build a sustainable off-grid home, and just do amateur astronomy. My main concern is droughts in the future from climate change, but I suspect the NE part of the state might be ok for a while. Any thoughts?

The same thing that happened to the Anasazi there (4 corners, northern NM) 800 years ago will happen again.

That's the NW. In my experience, the NE gets pretty decent rainfall. Enough to fill a good supply from rooftop collectors. Of course, climate change is different from 800 years ago.
