One of my sisters abandoned NY for Maine about five years ago. And they haven’t looked back.

” The restaurants, the shows, the culture were more than just wallpaper for us. We actively tried to engage in them and had the time of our lives. We were truly blessed to be able to share with our kids experiences that most people outside of NYC don’t get. “
Fun factoid, the rest of the country also has an astonishing variety of restaurants, shows, and culture.
If you run low on things to do, this year CTTC (Climb To The Clouds, the oldest auto race in the USA) is cancelled, as well as NEFR (New England Forest Rally), but hopefully next year they will be run.
We need volunteers for many different positions.
You have plenty of time to become a ham radio operator, which will make it really interesting.
To have a real appreciation for the area, there are some books you might like to read.
"Spiked Boots", and "Tall Trees, Tough Men", among others by Robert Pike.
If you can find it, "Smoke From a Thousand Campfires", by Paul Dougherty.
"We took to the woods", and other books by Louise Dickinson Rich.
We may cross paths at some point, look for the guy in the Mercedes Benz U1300l Unimog, which may or may not have a Zeppelin NATO radio shelter chained down in the back depending on what I'm doing, or my 404 Unimog radio van.
If you are into snowmobiling, look for the guy a Skidoo Expedition with a lot of lighting on it, recovery gear, etc., and a pair of high tech snowshoes on the front.
If on ATV trails, the guy on a Rokon Trailbreaker (made in NH) That is set up the same a a Special Forces one.
I don't do the last much, too busy rebuilding our Victorian Era money pit.
You will see small Amsoil stickers on all of these.
There is a Coos county Republican Meeting at 1973 Presidential Highway (route 2) in Jefferson, NH Thursday the 16th of July from 7PM to 9PM.
We should be able to maintain our distance.
I have a few horribly outdated web sites you may have already seen about the area.
NH real estate taxes are insane
Well, sure sounds like you made it to a better place now.
Winter is coming.

Let’s hope he left his crappy NYC politics behind him.
NH doesn’t need any of that to stay the way he loves it.
Correction.....
Let’s hope you left your crappy NYC politics behind him.
NH doesn’t need any of that to stay the way you love it.
The justice system in NH is hopelessly corrupt.
How are the black flies?
And if your property taxes are considered “low” you must have been paying through the rear end before. NH property taxes are notoriously high. The local taxes more than made up for the income tax, but if you are on a fixed income you would have a difficult time keeping up.
But, it is pretty up north. Winter will set in sometime around Labor Day.
“Winter is coming”
I’m firmly convinced a person needs two homes, one in the south for winter and one in somewhere like New Hampshire for summer. Make your permanent residence the one that offers the best tax benefits for your situation.
There are fewer and fewer places in the U.S. I’m willing to set foot in much less live in. I’m 52 and have travelled for a living my entire working life (airline pilot), I’ve been pretty much everywhere and have a good feel for where I want to be and where I don’t. I’m from Mississippi and I’d live in New Hampshire. New York could fall into the ocean and I wouldn’t even yawn.
We moved here in 86. We go back and forth to visit family but no amount of money would convince me to move back to NY and stay. New Hampshire has it’s faults, but there’s no place like home. We’re the “Big Green House” and as they say if you go past her, you’ve gone too far.
I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to test 8th graders against 4-year Grads of Columbia University! While not thinking that the 8th graders would beat them BUT when you add the COSTS OF 4 YEARS at CU, hmmm!
