What is/are your favorite thing/things about where you live?

Bill- That looks like a fun time. I don't hunt the edibles anymore, but I do enjoy setting up a good camp and just wandering. Chase that elusive gold flake...

Jmortimer- $100,000 total for the parcel with a half mile of fishable/buildable Walker River Front. The property is split by a public road and the other side of the road has hills with few buildable spots. The only reason I didn't buy it is because it will cost $50,000 to run power to it.

Now I wish I had elk.

That picture you posted is beautiful Kull. I'd love to throw on the mickey mouse boots and snow shoes and go exploring!

[PS Paul]

Fantastic everybody. I thought I would add some pictures:

That is Lake Topaz in the winter. I drive a beautiful 80 miles round trip everyday, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. Just a great place.

I mentioned this to you some time back in another thread, but it bears repeating: I believe the mountains in and around Lake Tahoe are in the top three most gorgeous places on God's green Earth. Still sayin' it.

Also, your plan for GA, Japan then CA really sounds like a solid plan to me. I've moved aroundquite a bit and have ended up here in WA, but it ain't gonna be home forever.....

This is a small thing, but no ticks or fleas or mosquitoes. Nice year round weather. Just a little snow. No neighbors, that I can see/hear, aka privacy. Fantastic views. Definite, country living. Since they say, and the O/P intended, if you can't say something nice about where you live, California, better to say nothing at all, but I can think of some nice things as stated.

Reckon I better not say anything then.

I believe you linked this property a couple months back. Can you re-link it? Could be the new Cast Boolits Ranch if we can band together a few members. I like off the grid.

My congressman is progun
No brush/wild fires to speak of as we don't seem to have droughts
My son makes low flyovers of my place in his F16
Good school system for my daughter
Friend owns a scrapyard - FREE LEAD, Woo Hoo!
My wife is still putting up with me so I get to sleep in the house.

I am in NW Ohio, flat as a pancake. Lots of good folks around and a lot of Cast Boolit members are close by.

Not much I like about my home state here, Kansas.

I can't wait until I can move close to the ocean. I miss the smell of salt water in the morning.

It's too stinkin' hot to fly in the summer & you're almost always fighting a headwind. Too cold to ride in the winter. For being a red state there's a bunch of lefties. We're over ran with illegals. It's flat & it's boring.

Having grown up in N. Virginia, I moved up here after getting out of the Army. I was 22 and I never considered going back to Va. Up here we have -
Good trout fishing less than 1 hour travel.
Super trout fishing 3 hours away - up by State College.
Hunting nearby, needless to say.
Salt water fishing 1.5 hours away
People are very nice here.
Very gun friendly state.
What's not to like ?? Mike

Southcentral Pennsylvania here...

Change of seasons
Decent gun laws, decent hunting (pheasants, black bear, deer, grouse, squirrel and rabbits)
I suppose the fishing is pretty good(I fish at the market, salmon, swordfish,shrimp, crab legs and lobster)
I have 1-3/4 acres with a 1/4 acre in woods right off my back deck. I can watch the birds and squirrels and an occasional deer...the black Lab that runs this house even allows me to walk him in the rain(apparently, I am the only one here that can do that)

lots of history...Valley Forge, Philly, Gettysburg
Close to big cities, if you need them for things like medical care

Taxes are pretty high which makes it certain that I don't have a lot of decisions to make about what to do with my disposable income (there ain't any after paying taxes)

[texassako]

It was a bit depressing only coming up with being sort of close to work, my wife's medical specialists, and a couple of decent parks and lakes to visit. We are pretty close to our little slice of heaven though, and will live there one of these days(maybe, hopefully). Finally convinced the wife the travel trailer should stay there permanently instead of hauling back and forth.

It's great if you like this stuff for as far as you can see. Only took 20 min to get the grandkids to school this morning.
Plus the last place I worked was only 5 min. away.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a few that can more elequantly express why than any words.

[youngda9]

Northern Indiana, Good people, 4 seasons, Freedom, One of the better states regarding gun ownership, Very reasonable cost of living, the list goes on and on. I'm very Blessed to live here.

Agreed. I'm in Fort Wayne and the people are generally very nice. Love the seasons and the laws. Not too far from where I grew up (MI).

[PS Paul]

Well, Paul H. YOU WIN!! Like the shot of the spot shrimp in the pan. Nice.

[Love Life]

Beautiful country. If I had a billion dollars, and the rest of my life, I doubt I'd be able to see all of America. The wife asks why I don't visit other countries and I always reply "Why should I?"
