Re: Montana or Wisconsin?
Forest fires and rioting and/or the combination of the two is what is motivating me to leave dodge. Last summer during the heat wave, if it had been the summer of 2020 this entire area would have burned to the ground.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:18 amAgree that this is a good point. I’ve had the good fortune of living in Eastern Washington all my 64 years and the climate here is definitely changing. As Dave mentioned this past spring we had a really nice above average snow pack but the early heat wave in June wiped it out way too soon. I’ve never seen a heat wave that hot lasting that long in June. Typically June is a cool wet month for us and summer used to always start the first work day after the 4th of July holiday.
As far as Montana goes for me, I really like the Flathead Lake area. Big forested mountains with plains below. My favorite is the transition areas in between these two areas.

Have you looked in South western Wisconsin? The geography is totally different from most of the state as if was the furthest south the last glaciers came. A lot of terminal moraine and rolling hills. Very pastoral and Swiss influenced.. Plus some great beer towns!

Re: Montana or Wisconsin?
Too many people shooting up the neighborhoods and leaving trash everywhere. Shooting no big deal as there is so much public land. Trash on the other hand is a big deal. I’m not talking about 40 years of abandoned snow plows beside the barn overgrown in grass, I’m talking about old tires, refrigerators, toilets and then of course bags of dirty diapers.markiver54 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:22 pmDoesn't really make sense to me, for that area.....hmm.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:14 pmThat's been a big surprise to me.

Re: Montana or Wisconsin?
That is a well known hunting area and a little too expensive for my blood. I’m thinking north of WI29 Eau Claire to Wausa. The further north the better the values and also above that line the population decreases.The Wiz wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 10:55 pmHave you looked in South western Wisconsin?

Re: Montana or Wisconsin?
One piece of advice I can give is to check on a town to town basis as to what drives that area's economy. When you get into the north woods tourist country, don't be fooled by those low population numbers for these small towns. These small north woods towns that depend heavily on tourism can double and triple in size during the tourist season. They can be a very different place in the summer tourist season. Tourism has been very much on the increase up here with Covid. People are driving up up to the north woods in record numbers for their vacations, rather than taking the risk of flying to a more distant vacation spot.
Given what you've outlined, I would stay more to the south in farm country where population size stays more constant and stable from one season to the next.

Re: Montana or Wisconsin?
I still haven’t found anything. I bought a 2011 Sprinter LWB HT 350. It was a 15 passenger bus and I removed all the seats. It’s mostly loaded with things made of lead and steel. Sure is heavy. Van is only a quarter full and I’m at half weight. I’ll finish loading it with light things that take up a lot of room. I’ll need to make three trips and for now it’s to the unknown.

Yes, best of luck. I've been in those "in between places" situations, before, and it is not fun. Hope you get settled, soon.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
