I don’t suppose you have an RV?

[ducttape45]

GMTA???? what is that?

[BrexitBen]

I have a nephew who grew up in Tennessee.

He and his family moved to the Rapid City area a few years ago, and they love it.

They got guys on Youtube that show off country properties on the cheaper end of things throughout the Midwest. Do some searches, you might find a nice place in a nice place for just your budget.

I wish! I own a 26 year old Toyota Corolla. Only has 150,000 miles, still runs great.

Great Minds Think Alike

[ducttape45]

That’s the area of the state I’m looking at

[ducttape45]

Oh ok! LOL

You’ll still have to deal with Kristi Noem, and particularly her top ‘advisor’, Matt McCaulley.

Look him up and you’ll know what is coming if you move there.

You made it! Congrats!

I bet the housing went way up in Kokomo after the song came out about it.

Western South Dakota. Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Deadwood and Custer State Park. Along with Wyoming, it is GOD’S Country in the US.

[laconic]

How about Custer? Its touristy but if you want some sort of part time job, there is probably a lot to do there.

[defconw]

OK I sent you a freep mail with a real estate agent.

[cowboyusa]

Western Colorodo as well.

[plain talk]

Do you have a home now in indiana but just want to live somewhere else? You make it sound like you don’t have a place to live.

[ducttape45]

Housing went way up when they started building housing downtown and it drove up prices everywhere. Then they started relocating people from Chicago and the quality of living went way down. I avoid it if at all possible.

Can confirm.. East River resident here

[ducttape45]

Right now I rent, and it’s affordable. But I can’t stay here. One, it’s right outside a military base and I want to get away from that atmosphere. Two, the place I’m in has mold and the rental agency refuses to remediate it. Three, I want to get out of Indiana completely. Yes, some family is here, but it’s time I ventured out. Now, that said, I’m not moving until I find just the right fit. I can’t move “just to move.” Wherever I end up I want to have a life. Right now, I do not.

[ducttape45]

Cool, I put that on my list.

[Reddy]

Have to say that I went to those areas in South Dakota last year and it’s definitely one of America’s best kept secrets. Including Spearfish, it’s some of the most beautiful country in the US.
