Home, sweet home. I have left Texas for good and returned to Yankee Land. I felt like crying when I seen the lush green hills riding on 86. I thought to myself “this is God’s country”.

The only thing I’ll miss about Texas is the general manners of people (much more polite) and Latinas. And the Tex Mex. And Mexican food. And hill country. And the gun laws. And the stars in the desert at night. The speed limit. As a matter of fact, I love Texas, but it’s not home.

Now I’m ready for the collapse of society

I remember last year you were talking about moving, glad you finally did it. Our trip made me realize how much I missed the greenery and fresh air! I'll be here a little longer but we're already looking for potential places to go. Where did you move to?

I have 12 acres in Steuben county NY, I’m a few miles away from the Pennsylvania border. My plot is on top of a huge hill and in the woods. It’s on a dirt road and hardly any traffic. After coming from oil country the quiet is almost eerie. Can’t see any neighbors. I know I’m going to curse myself in the winter but this is where I’m from.

have you guys explored Pennsylvania? I might sell in a few years and skip the border just for the better gun rights.

Where are you guys flirting with ?

Sounds like you have a really nice place there. I do miss my privacy back east. I had 3 areas and I built my house in the middle of it. I had neighbors but we all had large parcels ( 3-20 acres) so you couldn't see their houses but everyone was always very helpful when you needed it. Winters wee tough because my driveway was 250' long and a pain to take care of when we had a lot of snow and ice.

We were just looking at the map last weekend and there's so few little places we like now. They're either ruined by you know who or to cold for us. I will sacrifice living where it's a little cold but we just can't do harsh winters or sub zero temps anymore.

A few on our short list are KY, WV, AR, and southern UT but it's really expensive there now and they have worse water problems than we do. I figure if we make it over to WV I can meet up with my brother from another mother Robert @NotBudule. ?

Yeah that'd make it much easier. lol I'd love one like that but I was running out of room to put stuff. My upper garage had my F150 and my Vette in there and another work van in the turn around. My barn was filled with all the yard eqpt., snowblower, 2 snowmobiles and 2 motorcycle and tools. What a PITA is was moving and cleaning everything out! No use for any of that here so everything had to go.

ruined by you know who
Don't write off all of Canada , it's pretty big I hear , and the chances of running into you know who are pretty slim ... but , there is a chance , maybe that Norther Border is providing services we underappreciate... ?

3 partially wooded acres here in SW Colorado, paid dearly for it but glad to be out of Denver, had it not been for a daughter with special needs we did consider moving back to WNY - winters aren't that bad anymore and real estate is affordable, taxes though are high.
S Colorado is now chock full of Texans escaping the heat - mostly in the summer and fall, about 50% of our development is part time residents. I've met a good number of Texans and have to admit some of them are actually decent folks. :shock:

I lived in PA for awhile when I was a kid. Just north of Williamsport in the hills. Loved the area but we were too far out to have cable so I spent a lot of time outdoors fishing.
