Like the ways of people where am currently living, but the cold is now hurting me physically. Reality combines where i want to move to, with where i can afford to move to. Currently stalking zillow for higher elevation places in WV, but have expanded search to sw/sc Pa.
If you could move to your favorite place in the U.S. where would you go?

I bought this land on the inner banks of North Carolina, just off the Neuse River near Oriental. Plan to build in the next year or two.

Since I've already retired to where I want to live here in the US, my other geographic wish is to moonlight as the curator for CLASSIC12's arms collection, on his lakeside vineyard-shrouded Swiss hilltop.

The ribs at Casa de Valdez are to die for.
And then there's the Italian food at Stella's.
and then there's the best French Toast I ever ate near by at Buffalo Thunder...now who would have thought a casino restaurant would have the best French toast ever made?
Makes me want to go spend a week eating.

I think I'll stay put. In my declining years I appreciate having shopping, health care and entertainment close.
We live on the south end of the urban sprawl of the Wasatch front. It is still fairly rural in our little but growing community. In my area the sound of gun fire isn't unusual but it isn't crime. it more likely someone plinking tin cans or sighting in there deer rifle.
We have three gorcery stores within two miles. One is just a few blocks away. There is a hospital and doctor offices just down the hill. Costco and Home Depot are just 15 minutes away.
Now to the entertainment. For us that is hiking, camping, hunting and fishing. All of that is just a few minutes up the canyon or just walking out the back door. In the winter we watch the deer and elk on the ridge above the house. With in three hours of driving I can be in six national parks. Add another two hours driving I can add two more. There are lots of lonely places, when it comes to scenery could be National Parks. (I hope they remain lonely places)
Family is near and that is another big anchor.
So, I'm staying put.
Home is just down the hill.
On the ridge
And to keep it a little bit S&W. My better half shooting my transition .44 Special just minutes from the house.

It’d be New Mexico for me. I live close to the beach and it’s not what you’d think it is. Nice place to visit but really Florida sucks.

I would not move now for a whole list of reasons but like I said in another thread, if I were starting my life over and knew everything I know now, I would be somewhere in the Southwest rather than the Midwest. Weather and politics being the main, but not the only, reasons.
OP
Salmon Idaho is still a very conservative little town, and most of the out of staters who are moving in have the same mind set. The issue would be the remoteness and if you need to be close to major stores, medical, etc. it could be too isolating for some.
I have spent the last 12 hunting seasons there chasing deer and elk and have made many friends who have lived in Salmon most if not all of their lives.
We are doing a two year trial run to see how we like the area and if we decide it works for us, we may just build a nice little Barndominium and stay longer.
There is NO perfect place, but some places are closer than others!
Here are a couple more classic photos from the late 1940's
The top photo is my friend Dwight posing with Sheriff Bill Baker's father up at the Baker homestead/ranch.....the ranch was 140 acres with lots of water an high up the hills above the Salmon River about 28 miles south of Salmon above Elk Bend....
The 2nd and 3rd photos show the cabin that old man Baker built from logs on the ranch in 1940......they lived up there year round and did some cattle, sheep, etc. over the years......sometimes snowbound during the winter for weeks on end.

Fast and slow elk in the same photo, cool.
I can only speak for myself, but I already lived in the Bridger Valley for 3 years. I like having some trees, streams, lakes, mountains all close by. Having nothing but arid rolling hills covered in sagebrush for 50 miles in every direction isn't for me.I noticed that only a couple of folks indicated interest in moving to Wyoming.
That's fortunate because the Governor recently declared us closed to all further incoming people.
We're plumb full.

If I ever leave North Carolina you will need a big road block with armed guards because I'M COMING TO SHERIDAN. Larry
I lived in the BItterroote about 35-40 years ago IT WAS a great place. Now 93 is a solid stream of cars, every piece of land is divided in to 1-5 acre "ranches". It has become a great location to sit an outhouse. IMHO

I love where I am, If I had to move it would be a toss up between my land in SE AK and somewhere in Wyoming probably close to the Bighorns, only other choice is Idaho's panhandle area
