What do you like best about your home state?

[wbraswell]

4011, doggone it, you beat me to it. I've seen a lot of this country, and I like a lot of it, even parts of most cities. I'd like parts of every state. But the thing I like most about home, is that it's Texas. It's not perfect, it's too hot, and it's too close to Mexico, but at least we don't own snow removal equipment.

ahhh yes, snow removal. Nice not wearing snake chaps when you're shoveling though. Or knocking creepy crawlies out of your snow boots before putting them on.

What I like best about California are the earthquake faults. The old California of my childhood is long gone having been replaced by The People's Republic of California controlled by the wack jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles Area. I'm hoping that a big earthquake hits and that San Francisco and Los Angeles sink into the ocean, never to be seen again.

............and maybe I can help educate the locals on the ways of the north.

Too late.
Done been did. Northerners were NEVER bashful 'bout tellin' us how they did it better back home. 100% of them in my experience.
I gently suggest they might be happier back home where it was done better.
We're blissfully ignorant, and un-savable.

Wow! Hoping for the death of 40 million people. Interesting .....

My native state is Tennessee. I love the Smokies, the grand old TVA lakes and the history, particularly that from the Civil War.

My adopted home state is Kentucky. I love the eastern mountains, and the fact that we have more miles of flowing water than any state but Alaska and some wonderful lake fishing. I especially like the fact that we are one of the most gun-friendly states in the Union--shall-issue, castle-doctrine, stand-your-ground, legal-open-carry state.

I like the friendly culture and people in both states, and some mighty fine cooking is done on both sides of the state line.

Louisiana, I'll list a few great things: the food, people, hunting, fishing salt or freshwater, gun friendly, climate is fairly mild, usually, good jobs are not hard to come by. low cost of living.

Pa has 4 distinct seasons, lots of lush green hills, tons of lakes and rivers, and not far to the beach or mountains. Few deadly predators in the woods, and we can carry just about anywhere. Pittsburgh has all of this, AND its over 300 miles from Philadelphia and Jersey.

I live in the mountains of East Tennessee.. I spend a lot of time in both Western North Carolina and North Georgia. So, I guess my "home state" doesn't really have a state line?

Mark Williams is a good friend who loves nature and he is a great videographer! He made a video on the Cullasaja River over here in NC... thought some of you might like to see it?

God's Country.. and one of the rivers that run through it...

My current home state of Indiana, pretty much nothing except I have friends here. My former home state of Ohio has a lot going for it - good gun laws, lots of places to shoot, winters are mild n the SW part.

Wisconsin, where most of the family is now, is nice in spite of the harsh winters. Summers are mild, not quite as gun friendly as Ohio but I have had no trouble getting reloading supplies. Get away from Milwaukee and ethanol free gas is easy to find.

I grew up in Illinois, I wouldn't be opposed to going back. I have no desire to move back to Maryland.

I went to U.C. Berkeley on the GI bill that is the rhetoric I had to listen to 5 days a week

[turnerriver]

It's my home, first and foremost.
Turner River, Big Cypress Swamp, Okaloacoochee Slough, Suwanee River, Everglades National Park, Joe's Stone Crab, the Lakeland Rifle & Pistol Club gun show, Sanibel Island, lifelong friends and our home that my father in law built in 1953.

Another vote for Wyoming. Yellowstone National Park, only one area code for the whole state..307..no state income tax, lots of Elk, Mule Deer, and Antelope everywhere....

I heard wolves howling while walking to work this morning, there is nowhere on earth as beautiful as Wyoming.
