I dont know abough Texas but they do here in Iowa. There are local tracks everywhere. Personaly I wouldent noramly recomend moving here but it is DEFINATLY a step in the rite direction if you are in souther Calli. You couldent shoot me and burry my dead corpse in that area. It would get up and walk away. Personaly I cant waite for the big quake that sinks it in to the ocean but thats anouther subject. As far as the post abought Pitkin Colorado, that is probobly one of the most buitiful spots on earth. I will actualy be ther in a few weeks on vacation. We are taking an ATV trip to the Taylor Park and we ride threw Pitkin a few times every trip. Population is around 100 in the summer and something like 20 or so in the winter. You had better like snow though because they get it in spades. Most of the town is all vacation homes and summer retirement homes. We looked at some realestate there last year and the house my wife liked that was a little samller than ours here was something like 3 or 4 hundred grand. Ours was under a hundred buy a long ways.

 

Come on up to NewHampshire. People look you in the eye and say hi here like they mean it . You can do handshake deals and not lock your doors at night. Gun laws are relaxed and trespassing is a no-no .Sportsmans paradise too . Walmart has not killed off the small downtowns and cornerstores yet , coffee refills are usualy free . If you come thru Brentwood NH , stop at Bettsy's diner and try the meatloaf with mashed & gravy . Ocean , lakes and the mountains can all be had within 2 hours drive of each other. We get invaded every fall with leaf peepers and then its over.

Kennedale,TX has a dirt track as well as a small drag strip. there are many other places in TX like that as well.
There are many other small towns too. Milford, Maypearl, Italy, Port Bolivar, Crystal Beach, Winnie, Grand View, Itasca, Files Valley etc.......
Muenster,TX. I belong to a dirt bike club, our Cycle park is Just north of Muenster. http://www.redrivermotorcycletrails.com/
Come out and join our club and you can help us put on the Red Bull Last man standing race. Dec will be our third yr for this event.

 

I wondered what things cost out there!!! That is a really beautiful place!!

 

check out durango colorado. i don't know how much snow they get, but the people there were very vice. the scenery is breathtaking and their is a very cool coal burning steam train that goes to silverton. my family and i hooked up our fifth and stayed their a week in august last year. I sure miss that place, my parents did the same trip at the end of august. if anybody is in the area you have to check out the train. It's the durango and silverton train.

 

I actually went to a friends wedding in Texas a few years ago. Really nice people but man was it hot in July !!!

 

Yep that's the ONLY thing I hate about this place!!

 

Yea, there are a few places in CO. that we are gonna look at.

I have a few friends that moved there about 6 years ago. Even they say its starting to get more crowded in the short time they have been there. One reason is they moved into new tract type housing in arvada, and somewhere else i cant think of right now. Seems like if you get just a short ways out of town, maybe 1/2 hour to 45min. your really "out of town". Thats what I'm lookin for

 

We took the RV cross-country this year. Some of the nicest places were Tennessee and Kentucky. Land was affordable. I've always thought eastern Kansas was very pretty too.

I grew up in northern CA and got out about 20 years ago. I go back to visit family, and everytime I think "these people are kooks !!!".

 

southeren ohio, Greenfield, Hillsboro, Washington Court House, anything south of RT. 22 is considered southeren ohio, i live between 2 decent sized lakes, great fishing and boating, im an hour from dayton, cincinnati, and columbus, i live about an hour from the river, there is tons of truck guys around here, our winters are getting milder every year, summer barely makes 100, cools off at nite, its about 65-70 right now at night, alot of farm land and country around me.

 

I'd suggest Sedalia, MO. We've been looking at buying a house outside of the KC metro area & noticed that there were more than a few 2000+ sf houses for less than $70,000. Did a little research & if Sedalia wasn't 80 miles from my work, I'd move there tonight!!!

 

Hey,Mr.Admin.should we start a new thread of " I want to move from to and am looking for"?
Racer,whose power steering are you using and where was the pic taken?

 

Yeah, well.... seems like in the past twenty years most of the outside influence in the NW WA area has been people fleeing California - but most of those dingbats seem to have brought all the insanity of Kali-fornia with them! Seattle is one of the most leftist places I have ever been. Politics, taxation and corruption in govt. are scary here - I get flak from friends in Missouri Texas and Kansas about it, it is sad......

We want to flee WA, looking at getting back to a real western state... need land and graze for the horses, and a lot fewer people. It's a nice dream, but I am suspecting I'll die in harness before I see retirement!

 

Went back up to Coos Bay Oregon this last summer and what a difference a couple of years make. The house we had cost us 95K then, now it would be 195K thanks to all the people fleeing CA! Got very disappointed and left again. Think the wife and I will have to go home again to South Carolina. Still not bad there, if you stay out of the New York yuppie areas. They have overrun parts of the state down on the coast. We are going back to the Piedmont area in the foothills. Yuppies don't like it there,,too conservative for them!

 

The same thing is happening / has happened to the Austin, TX area. I have relatives there that say that place is almost as bad as Cali now...
