It will give a good flavor of what we have here. From there you can input your snail mail address and they will send you a complete brochure on our state and the Hill Country. Good Luck!
Kennesaw, GA. We're required by law to own a firearm.
I live in houston but I like San Antonio and Austin. The hill country is great...
Thanks for this info. Currently property in Eagle Rock is high. Home across from us sold for 1.2mil.....and a average 2+2bath home is going for $600,000!! We need to take a drive back out to Temecula.

Yeah, traffic stinks, but there are many more career opportunities in CS than Gunny.
I believe El Paso County is over 400,000.
Ever think about trying
LA? (LA= "lower Alabama")
I'm a native Oregonian and have spent the last decade living in Portland ... but now live in Salem.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Oregon since there is nothing I really want to see here.
I'm 42 and have lived long enough in Oregon.
Politically, Oregon is a lost cause. Libs have been flocking to the state for decades and they control the school.
Where in TX do you reside?
I'd go with Texas, Alabama, Mississippi or South Carolina if I were you.
Stay away from Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont (Leahy-land).
I'd like a place where its cold with lots of snow, lots of mountains and forests, few people, all conservatives and a pro-gun, pro-hunting atmosphere.
Georgia is very conservative. We have our problems with liberals in the form of the AJC and Jimmy Carter but by far the majority is conservative.
Oregon is a very diverse state geographically due to two mountain ranges that divide the state along a north/south axis. The costal area is very scenic but temperate, wet and ..well, wet. The interior valley (Willamette Valley) runs from Portland to roughly Eugene and is home to the great majority of people. The valley has the best summers in the US with long days, high temperatures and moderate humidity (40%). Unfortunately there is 8 months of grey skies with many days of rain. The western half of the state is semi arid with only one sizeable town of more than 50,000 people.
Politics is dominate by the valley, and the left has a clear working majority there.
Not sure if this has been mentioned......but a relative moved out of Michigan for the very same reasons. He moved to Abbeville, SC where there's lots of Christian conservatives & sunshine. Been there for a few years and happy as a clam.
:-)
I lived in Seattle for four years (1988-1992) and have never missed it. It's a very scenic area but the weather and traffic are horrid!!
I read a great cartoon during the 90's once (when Seattle was the hottest city in America) whose punchline was "No one can understand why I left Seattle except people who have actually lived there!"
Murry and McDermot!! And you need another reason to leave??
Jacksonville, FL is the place to be. It is also the number one requested duty station by the U.S. Navy and it's Bush country.
Thanks for the nice welcome.
