Or any other state then click on Images. Then research jobs, home prices, taxes, speedbumps etc.
Prayers for your journey!
My old hometown is going overboard with political correctness. It removed a Confederate monument that had stood for over a century, if that says anything. This is not a place to have a family. No future here, no work. I’m a freelancer and can be anywhere. But not here. This is no place for a young man who is coming out of years of some very rough life, to get that fresh crack at life.
May God bless and care for you my FRiend!
Prayers up for you.
God will provide :-)
Trust the dog.
Try the Suburbs of Houston
Otherwise ship the car to Guam. It is like the US 4-50 years ago.
Couer D’Alene ID.
I recommend reading Luke 10 and Acts 16 for inspiration. May you be blessed on your journey.
Plains states. Cheap housing (nice old houses), always looking for workers, people want to know where you go to church (they assume you do) and tend to go Red during election. Also states like So Dakota don’t have personal income tax and do have good gun laws.
If you want great weather and fast property appreciation with low taxes, Murrieta, California is my choice. You can go to the mountains or the ocean or the desert in less than two hours…
If you want to meet a nice girl to marry, Central Texas around Austin is great.
Drive up to where I live, Alaska. Fairly conservative, extremely laxed gun laws, and there is tons of work opportunities up here. Bonus: we are far away from all the BS in the lower 48, i.e riots, looters, and community organizing SJW’s. And the absolute beauty of the land is well worth it.

I like the West, mountains, scenery, wilderness. But what’s best for me may not be best for you. If I were young and had it to do over again, I know exactly where I’d go: Alaska, but not the coldest parts. I’ve often thought it’d be great to have enough money to take a year off, buy a small RV, and then travel all over the West looking for that perfect location. I’ve got to see a place, spend some time there, before I’d know. Best of luck to you. I hope you find that perfect spot!
Central Florida or Western North Caolina.....(Franklin, NC)
If you move to Arizona, make sure to bring a firearm. They have checkpoints at the border and if you don’t own a gun they turn you away.
Helotes , Texas....just outside San Antonio.

Hook up with the local Scottish Highland pipe band in San Antonio, learn to play the drums or the pipes, if you feel like it.
You will have huge numbers of conservative friends.

Golly :) reminds me of 16 yrs ago when I made a similar choice to let God move me 2500 miles from home, before I even knew it was God I was listening to!
Prayers for wisdom and discernment for letting God steer you now and always. God’s best to you.
Lost and Found (2009/10)
Driving through life without a map
taking turns on a whim,
Highways get you there faster
back roads slowly meander
but are they leading you toward Him?
I want to get lost, I want to get lost,
I want to get lost in You, Jesus
Letting Jesus drive
sounds cool but isn’t easy
sometimes He seems reckless
and it makes me queasy.
Then I know I’ve not fully let go
still trying to steer the wheel
Other times He drives so slow
I wonder will we ever get there
that;s when I realize
it’s not about my schedule but His
what a relief to not be in control.
He’s the maker of the map
reads it better than me
He’s got it under control
why am I trying to take His place
when the seat was made for Him?
When we reach the scenic views
it makes more sense
it’s best to let Him drive
He knows each road like He knows His hand
which was pierced for you and I.
I want to get lost, I want to get lost
and found in You, Jesus!
Last time I drove across the country, I liked Nashville, Tennessee, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. I didn't move to either one, but I extended my stay in both.
I had a similar journey although I wasn’t nearly as well-off as you might be. It had quite a few weird turns.
If you’re not, I suggest carrying in a locked place (you can get a cheap safe for $34 at Harbor Freight tools). I separated the weapon from the ammo as per Federal guidelines as recommended by my FFL. One place i used to pass through a guy who I worked for told me about a crime happening there one night. Very desolate part of Kansas.
Stay out of urban areas, especially at night. Don’t flash cash in areas, especially where you are a stranger. I might recommend a few areas but these days, be sure you stay out of cities. And keep at least 3-7 days of food and water for you and your dog in that car. Non-perishable stuff, or less-perishable, that is.
Oldtown.
Study your surroundings and maybe someone will give you a glass candle.
