I have to wonder how many of those saying Colorado have looked at housing prices there. I'd love to live there, but it only took about 5 minutes of looking at homes online to eliminate it.
With that said, we're actually looking at Cheyenne right now. It's an hour from the front range and housing is a little less outrageous. It's still more expensive than Pigsknuckle though. Guess that's the downside of living in one of the most affordable housing markets in the country. [Reply]

I'm in Spokane right now. Not my kind of town but seems like it's up your alley. It's "almost" in Wyoming.
I've heard it's a fantastic area. Looks like a lot of great bike trails too. But I just want a change of scenery, not necessarily a witness protection program. [Reply]
I live in central Florida a few miles from Orlando and moved back here 9 years ago after being in the north for 20 plus years. I grew up in St. Petersburg and if I were single, I would trade in the SUV for a Jeep Wrangler and buy a condo on Pensacola Beach, Panama City Beach or Clearwater Beach or in that area.
I would buy a Seedoo or Waverunner, or at least rent one.

What do you know about Palm Bay and Tampa? They seem like legit contenders. [Reply]
I'm already working on setting up a base in the Cayman Islands. It has first world banking and internet. It rarely gets hit by hurricanes... It's CST time zone... the beaches are pristine. It's a 2 hour flight to Miami... 3.5 hour flight to Houston. [Reply]

I lived up there for a year in the mid 80's. I think the guy to girl ratio was like 100/1 and generally the 1 was nothing to write home about. I have been up there a few times since and it has really changed. There were plenty of good looking ladies running around. I remembered thinking, if it would have been like this when I lived here, I never would have left and that's the truth.
With that said, the summer was great with all the sun, but the winter was a real bitch with no sun. There were a lot of people depressed walking around sucking on the gun barrel. [Reply]

Yeah, I can see that. I was there for a week in September, so the day/night ratio was normal. [Reply]
I would love to and plan on moving from the midwest when my kids are grown and on their own. I'd love to live in Europe, but will probably settle somewhere closer to the west-coast. Ideally Montana, Idaho, Utah or Nevada. [Reply]
I’ll have a house in either Austria or Belgium when I retire. I have an office in Belgium but frequent Austria...both great people, great food, great culture, and most importantly...great beer. [Reply]
