Considering a Move to Another State

[YkcorCal]

As someone who has lived in several different states such as Arkansas, New Mexico, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, and Wyoming. I would highly recommend Wyoming if you are self employed as it checks off most of the boxes you listed and depending where you choose you would not be too far from a drive down to Denver if you wished to go to a "Big City" for some shopping, more advanced medical care or sports events. I lived in Casper in the center of the state for 10 glorious years. You will find fantastic fishing, hunting, and a lot of like minded people there. I wish you the BEST in your search! Lots of open range, State and Federal Land to explore.

Official State Nickname of Wyoming
The nickname for Wyoming is The Equality State (Wyoming's state motto also focuses on equality; Equal Rights).

Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869 (more precisely, women were granted the right to vote so there would be enough voting citizens to meet the population requirement for statehood). This action lead to the nickname The Suffrage State and then later The Equality State.

The Cowboy State
A cowboy on a bucking horse is Wyoming's official registered trademark), which led to some calling Wyoming The Cowboy State (the cowboy and bucking bronco emblem also appears on the U.S. Mint's bicentennial commemorative quarter for Wyoming).

I used to love living in Colorado, now it's just where my job is.


Not sure where I'll be headed to when I'm ready to retire, but I don't see myself here.

It's sad when people leave a place because it's "gone to hell" and once they get settled they do everything possible to turn it into the place the escaped from.

Is it time for a new 2a friendly state?
We could have towns with catchy names!
Revolver
Seer City
We could fish on the Upper Receiver River and go skinny dipping at the Mag-Well.
Breakfast at Derringers, steaks over in Weatherby.
No free range chickens here, just free ranges.


Who's with me!?!?!

Colorado is a beautiful state! My wife lived in Buena Vista, Colorado when we were dating a very scenic valley surrounded by a number of fourteen thousand plus peaks and nearby hot springs. There is a real divide between the people in the big cities and those in the countryside in touch with the land and nature. I feel your pain as I hated leaving Wyoming though for different reasons as mine were purely economic because Amoco Oil closed the refinery I worker at in Casper. I LOVED Casper, the State and the people as I am very conservative minded. I will pray for you to find a new "Home" where you will find the "Peace" I know you and we all seek. God Bless you in your search my friend!

There is a T-Shirt here for that.

Heck, you just described where I live. Come to Adams County, PA.

My cousin lives in Gettysburg. Both he and his wife are retired NP Rangers. They worked the battlefield for many years, then the Eisenhower Society. Both have been on C-Span discussing the ES.

I go to Carlisle every August and stay in Mechanicsburg. Before that, many years in Camp Hill.
I hate snow or would have considered moving to that area.

I buy Costco's store brand Irish Cream. Their bottles are twice the size of the original Bailey's for the same price as Bailey's. It tastes exactly the same, and I suspect that it is actually Bailey's. I could not do without a dollop in my morning coffee, and a small glass of it on the rocks is very soothing as the sun goes down!

Pretty easy to make plus p irish creme good as or better than Baileys. And lot cheaper.

Whatever you do stay away from Arkansas, too many people here already.
And plus we have hot, humid summers, or hot, dry summers. Did I
mention floods? We have those also.

And mosquitoes, snakes too.

I have had the opportunity to travel all over our beautiful and fabulous country, but I would never move from the Arkansas Ozarks.

Still looking for the right place

We live in the valley in AZ and have been here 14 yrs, HATE THE WEATHER HERE but still here. We love Payson area and the white mountains BUT ONE PROBLEM. 75 yrs old, still healthy, but one neighbor just moved in here in block from the White Mountain area for one BIG reason. He was AIR LIFTED from his home TWICE for heart problems, COST TO HIM WAS CRAZY, NO PLACE THAT CAN HANDLE MAJOR MEDICAL TRAMA SITUATIONS THAT WAS CLOSE. He just had his third health trial but after the para meds coming out and going to a hospital here in Peoria az he is still with us. THAT WAS THE PRIME REASON THEY MOVED FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE VALLEY. There is a chance, "Healthy today, in need of MAJOR medical care TOMMOROW" Would love to leave the heat here but medical concerns are a BIG REASON TO STAY CLOSE TO THE CITIES, especially over 65 yrs old, I think We could sell the house for twice what we pd for it, LITTLE CALF NOW, 6 houses have sold in our retirement community and ALL 6 have been scooped up by Calf people, the realtors keep lists, sell for three quarters of a million there and buy for $400,000 here, but the future is real scary at my age for medical problems & AZ has excellent health care and it is everywhere. That is the ONLY reason we are still here, last kid moved away 10 yrs ago for a higher paying job on east coast. We have 3 kids, two in medical field, BOTH went to east coast, one army, he is still on east coast. Housing is high there, cost of living is high but for a younger person, especially in med field, the wages make it worth while for them, being retired we just keep looking I guess
