Are you happy where you are?

[markiver54]

Another Markiver curiosity...
Our members' locations stretch far and wide as you all know.

There are those who endure very harsh weather, endure extreme heat, extreme cold and many other variables.
I am personally happy in the geographic location where I reside. Have lived from coast to coast and north and south in the USA.

Are you satisfied with where you live? ( for those who are...you're blessed ) . How many would re-locate if they could?

At my age, I ain't going anywhere else at this point, but I'm ok with that. RU...?

Can't beat the cow country of southwest Alberta. Suits me right down to the ground. It's not for everybody though. Land of extremes; windy most of the time, 30-50mph is normal. Can have hot summers in the 90's, but dry. -30 in winters frequently. But you can't argue with the view....

Yes, that view is worth it all. You're looking at the right and best thing, Ranch Roper!
And where everyone is at, their special "views" are there, too.
Just have to look and see them with appreciative eyes and thots.

For me it's all about having PUBLIC LAND available nearly out my front door.
In Central Oregon I have the National Forest minutes from my front door and for those of us who have grown up with it we can hardly imagine living any other way.
I can leave my front door and in literally minutes be in the National Forest where I can spend nearly any amount of time doing what I enjoy - camping, off-roading, fishing, hunting, shooting and seeing almost no other people.
I can't imagine what it would be like living in a state with virtually no public land - I mean what the heck do you do if you are an outdoors person and have no place to get away from it all?
I read about how people actually PAY to go 'off road' on private property and have to go to ranges to shoot. Sorry - I could never live in an area where I had to 'pay to play'
Most everybody I know has grown up woods romping, camping, shooting, hunting etc. as a way of life and NOT a novelty.
I'll be staying in Central Oregon - unless I win the lottery and can afford to move to Idaho where it's even more remote - and public.

We have lived on our small farm in this rural community for more than twenty five years. It's set up the way we want it and we both have our workshops. We have fifteen acres, and the few properties around us are also rural. Behind us is a state park, across the street is the state forest. Now that I retired and we are ready to really settle in, the political nature of the state is changing, and not for the better.

If need be, we will sell out and move. But we won't like it. If we do, we will look for a larger lot, in a much more rural setting.

while we are happy where we live in NC (Hurricanes and all) our lifestyle allows us to move to other areas that we also enjoy .... Spring and Fall at home in NC, Winter in Texas, Summer in South Dakota .... sooner or later age or something else will force us to settle down but we hope that time is still years and years away
