Where should I move next??

True family stay together no matter what.

 

El Paso fits most of those.

 

Its hot, desert, yes there are mountains....but not the same...mostly desert....so doesn't really fit what he is looking for.

 

Agreed, but if i'm going that far i'm going to NC. Eastern TN is where the Smokies are nice, but go a little east and that's where @Patriot lives, and where i used to. Western NC is VERY difficult to beat

 

never been to NC so wouldn't know

 

Disclaimer-I kinda just skimmed the 3 pages of comments...So with that how about Oregon? Portland or outlying areas. Seems to fit the majority of your wants but how do you do with horrible traffic, terrible drivers, and a rising amount of people that want everything for free? If that doesn't bother you then this could work for you.

I don't remember but didn't you come out this way for the eclipse?

 

I'm moving into my tv

 

steeper and higher mtns, more foliage, considered a temperate rain forest, and even holds the last old growth forest east of the Mississippi. If you could imagine.....Eastern TN times 300. Maybe i'm just partial because i lived there for so long

 

I would live in Hood River, Bend, or Salmon WA if i was there. I like Oregon, but i don't like traffic

 

Need to try it. It's gorgeous and people are pretty laid back.

 

agreed!!!

And lots of great Bluegrass

 

I did. Great memory!!! I've been out there quite a bit. i saw the eclipse from about 10,000 on Mt Hood. I also went up to Mt Rainier to visit a buddy. I LOVE the PNW. That's a very close second right now after my Tahoe thoughts

 

Flagstaff

 

Haven't been there in 22 years.

Please sell me on it. i'm anxious to have a look around

 

Well if your looking for jobs there is a company that builds drones for the military in white salmon...cant remember their name right now.

 

From that list I would pick Bend. Bigger city for that area and not hard to get out into the country. Also bigger possibilities for work i would think.

 

Yep, Silver City was my first thought.

 

So, when are we going to sit down and commiserate on our respective mid-life crises?

 

I can always count on a good recommendation from ya

 

Soon I hope....

It’s getting intense

 

and I'm apparently having a crisis of my own and reading this isn't helping

 

I was gonna add PNW, Oregon or Seattle area, beautiful up there..not far from Canada..he?...and Whistler !!

also NorCal, plenty of off the grid places..such a massive state.

 

Austin area is nice

 

But that’s in Texas

Were you making a joke??

 

i even moved my bed over 18 inches tonight in hopes Of encouraging the crisis to recede

 

Sorry no, have a few family members who live west of Austin nice area..for me

 

I was kidding. Have you not caught on to my sarcasm yet

Austin is an awesome town, but it’s too hot and humid for me there

 

Humid is below Victoria on South and I'm originally from Harlingen Tx hour from beach n 30 min from Mexico that area is humid

 

I spent 30 years in humidity.....GA and coastal SC. I can relate to ya

 

Well I'm sure you'll make a wise choice and be happy good luck!
