I've lived a lot of places in the U.S. Right now, if had a choice, I'd look at the S.E. coastal area-Chas., S.C.,
I was just south of Charleston SC in the 'low country' this fall and was VERY impressed with it....
No mountains, sage or mule deer...so I couldnt handle it...but its a cool place with LOTS of woods and swamps and crawly things....
