The mountains of NC and GA are a pretty good compromise on mild winters and cool summers. While we do not have redwoods, we do have a lot of USFS lands. Cost of living could be half what you are used to and while GA has a 6% income tax, there is an exemption...at age 65, $65K of income/person is exempt.
Assuming you buy a MH in Oregon (no sales tax) keep receipts on where you stay over the next year so if you decide to live back in CA you will not have to pay CA sales tax on it.
PS: rarely do we have forest fires with 50-60 inches of rain/year. Naturally where I live is the perfect spot and you should buy a MH like mine. Yes, the south has mainly red states and Fla is not a southern state. B :B :B
