Dude, I don't want to get into an argument over whose state is the best, but let me just say that I live in Oregon, which pretty much renders your argument invalid. We have mountains, snow,
lakes, rivers, rain forests, deserts, and the ocean. Doesn't get any better than that for natural beauty.
And... we don't have any significant mosquito problems here. I might get one mosquito bite each year.
Why would I hate living in Minnesota? "Winters are cold and dry, while summer is hot and humid." (
Climate of the twin Cities.)
So, not to dis on your home state, but I wouldn't want to live there
