C.S. Brady, SASS #63699 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Pretty happy here in Arkansas. It gets pretty hot in the summer, but the winters are mild and we are sort of in the middle of this great country. I am just at the edge of the Ozark mountains, lots of fishing and hunting opportunities and several great SASS clubs not too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The Bay Area in California. I sure wouldn't mind having a vacation home in Montana or Wyoming. I tend to like big open states with lots of untouched wilderness. For those that don't know this about California, we have a lot of wilderness that is untouched, since those tree hugging hippies tend to stay on the trails.

Paladin Gun For Hire Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 A mile or two from Tombstone, AZ. Talked to the wife about downsizing in the next 5 years. No gutters to clean, no yard to mow, no tree limbs to pickup, high desert temperatures and lots of space to explore. Cowboy every weekend. She countered with moving to Tombstone for three Indiana winter months then back to Indiana for 9 months. I asked, "How is that cutting expenses by maintaining two homes?" I countered with 3 months in Tombstone, then she could stay with sister #1 three months, sister #2 three months and her mother for three months. Doctor said I should be able to start rehab in a week or two... You so funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The beaches of Carolina Yep, it's really nice here ......and you can be in the mountains with an afternoon drive. Plus the 'ole hometown in the upper E Tn. mountains (Bristol) is just another 2 hrs. I really do miss the mountains , but after I've been up there for a week or so I really miss the beach and the fresh seafood ......Good Luck Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackey Cole Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Well been to Alaska couldn't handle the winters now. Retired out of southern nm, grew up in ne ga, spent most of the summers before my 18th in va and the Carolinas with relatives. I'm thinking of moving to as between Phoenix and flagstaff. But it's cheaper in nm plus the summers are not quite as bad. Ideally I would winter in as and maybe summer further north where it isn't so hot.

Grizzly Dave Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm happy where I am in Colorado. If I somehow came into crazy stupid money I'd buy a couple hundred acres in the foothills and build my dream house with indoor and outdoor ranges. And maybe get a place to spend part of the winter at in Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm a complete provincial. I was born and raised in Tacoma and wouldn't live anywhere else. I live a mile from where I grew up, and 9 of our 12 grandkids are within walking distance; the other 3 are 30 miles away. My siblings and I graduated from the same high school our dad did, our 5 kids did the same, 3 of my grandkids did, and 2 more are about to....4 generations at the same high school. My youngest grandkids are in the same elementary school I went to, as did my dad. (I'm 68). I can see the saltwater of Puget Sound from my house and can be skiing in the Cascades in about an hour and 15 minutes. I still do a lot of backpacking; trailheads in the Cascades within an hour or two away. And a big thing about Washington State: over the decades and generations the economy has stayed strong, on a long-term basis. The result, taken along with the saltwater and mountains, is that your kids and grandkids have good opportunities and don't scatter all over the country as they do from many places.....

Pat Riot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Rogers Arkansas. Lived there as a kid and I loved it there. I have lived all over the US and there are good things and bad things about every where but the thing I love most is we are free to move around as we please without restrictions....as long as you can afford it. I will say that if something happened that I always had to stay here in Oregon it wouldn't bother me one bit. I love here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Crimes Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 My mother lives in Jackson, Wyoming and I have to admit that the time I visited her it was very difficult to go back home (the skidoo trip thru Yellowstone will stay with me forever). However, I will always be an Aussie and given the breadth of what Australia has to offer (as does the USA) I am sure I can find what I want here. Ideally I am thinking the West Coast, somewhere where I can have the beach nearby (admitedly with some very big Great Whites) and a lot of open space to live (I dont do well in cities). A range on the property would be nice to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dollar Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 While I like living in the south, I've often thought of other places I'd like to move.

Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Right here is fine, thank you. I've owned all the guns I could ever need. The temperature at my local Range, 20 minutes away, can be the same on Christmas Day as it is on Independence Day. No mosquitoes, low humidity, no tornados or hurricanes, ocean, mountains, rednecks. I can drive to Snakebite's or Allie Mo's place. Nope, right here is fine, thank you. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 SWMBO and I love the Outer Banks of North Carolina and will soon start shopping for a vacation home there that we can rent out most of the year. Then I would like to buy a few acres somewhere bordering the George Washington / Thomas Jefferson National Forest in western Va. to use for a hunting camp site and to possibly erect a small cabin on.

Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Howdy Widder...Now that's an entertaining question, now firstly my wife would never move out of Australia but I can dream ! Don't get me wrong we have a wonderful country with some great landscapes & plenty to see & do, it's just the stupid political decisions & of course our harsh gun laws that get up ya' nose. If talking the USA , which so far I've only visited a dozen states I'm partial to Wyoming..but I'm looking forward to seeing the southern areas as I reckon somewhere around Carolina, Alabama etc would be tempting..Texas of course would be up there.

Charlie Whiskers Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Right where I am...Montana. I was born and raised here...all my relatives were here. I lived in Utah for a spell going to electronics school. Then moved to Minnesota where my fiancé was going to college so I went to find a job there while she was in school. Uncle Sam had other ideas. Spent some quality time at Ft Lost in the Woods Missouri....too humid....makes Mn. feel like a desert. Came back to Montana and got a job with the phone company then my dear bride wanted to move because I was on the road 5 days a week. Back to Mn, ...(where the state bird is the mosquito.....and 2 seasons...winter and road construction), because there was more in her field there. 32 years later...I made it back home.
