Texas. Most specifically the Hill Country. There is a river there called the Guadalupe. I grew up right on it. I had a blast when I was a kid building forts in the woods and jumping out of trees into the river.

In Texas, the small town public schools are conservative. Lots of Republicans in Texas. We don't tolerate crime. No state income taxes. You can afford a nice, large home, depending on location. We paid $92 for our 2,000 sq ft home and we have an acre yard. The people are VERY friendly and easy going. Great food!

The only thing bad about Texas is the month of August, especially if you live in a city with lots of concrete and humidity.

I've also heard good things about the Hill country of Texas.
