Oh but it's a very nice rock and I don't fly anymore, ( my arms get tired flapping ), so I am happy here drooling over scantily clad young ladies year round, Watching young fools on surf boards teasing tiger sharks, and occasional trips to the Kava bar. BTW my rock is more than twice as large as all the rest of the Hawaiian islands combined, yet is not heavily populated. I probably breathe cleaner air the anyone in the continental US thanks to the trade winds and lack of industry. Note, vog doesn't come to my end of the island.
I have a cousin that works in Kona now (used to work in Hilo) and we're over due for a visit
It really is pretty big. We have always gone to some other island for the occasional island vacation, because the big island is too big - who wants to spend all day driving. But to live there, might be my choice if there really are parts that don't get vog - which would make it the cleanest air in the islands, since the rest are down wind.But to me it sounds like you could look at eastern Oregon. Kind of a long ways from nowhere, if that's a problem.
Dean, will you adopt me?
Bought a remote tract of land last year in Montana. Plan to retire there and for about three months during the winter explore warmer areas in the Travel Trailer. Not a bad place to sip bourbon and look for wildlife.
I grew up in eastern Montana, tempting. Especially the western half.
Idaho and Montana are nice places, I lived in panhandle Idaho for 5 years along the Priest River, but in winter they are ccccooold.
We're going to Lewiston, ID in June, that little neck of the woods (south eastern Washington) looks very interesting.It is a bit close to those wacko's in Idaho though..... ~;
San Miguel de Allende MexicoIn central Mexico, many many Norte Americano's/a's, English is almost the first language, good access to Meds. Safe as the states.?! Beautiful little town that is almost like living in SoCal/So Tx. at a small fraction of the cost.IMO. :-)BTW no place is completely safe.EDIT: I posted this for someone that expressed a desire??? to retire in Mexico. Its not for everybody that's for sure. Moto riding in Mexico is better than good and is very moto friendly. Wx is great and people are friendly.
I plan to "retire" to Pocahontas County, WV. Won't need much to live on since it's only me (and will most likely stay that way). Just a little one room cabin and two-car detached garage will suffice. Maybe volunteer at one of the local scenic railroads to stay active (along with riding my Ambos, of course). Pros of that area for me:- 80% federally owned and protected- cellphone "dead zone" due to the NRAO in Greenbank- peaceful with beautiful scenery- fantastic roads (paved and dirt)
Only place I know of where 90f and 90% humidity is a mild day... and you need a coat to go inside... But ya gotta go there for the people, food and to understand zydeco...
Lewiston is beautiful. Taking the bike? If so, make sure you do all 99 miles of Lolo pass.
I notice that no one is singing the praises of the liberal east coastcertainly not me
Taking the F150, wife and one dog. Family reunion. Looking at the map, there appears to be some very nice/fun roads (although many appear to be more suited to my XR650L than the Griso. ::)
As a Liberal living on the liberal east coast, allow me to sing the praises. That said, I'd rather be living in the liberal northwest.
If I have a choice (my wife disagrees) it is the high deserts of Oregon for me, specifically Lakeview. High enough in elev to be cool in the winter. 325+ days of sunshine, a short ride into the Sacramento Valley where it is usually warm in the winter.Gail and I are only 7 short years from pulling the plug. Looking at a lot of different options.Bill Lovelady ISEskimo Spy
This 300-year-old house would be about 250,000 pounds, so I’d have to sell out here to buy it, but living is reasonable once you’re there.I would have guessed the house to weigh more than that........ ;DI dunno, those dam noisy motorbike riders whizzing by......kjf
Some place with a Mediterranean climate and Room Service! :BEER:And where lots of nice interesting people come to visit and to have a pleasant time.Oh look. Here comes the neighborhood! :D
