about 11,000 miles, give or take a few. Why? Too damn many people and rules where I grew up. Here, all the hunting and economic opportunity a guy can handle.

I was born in Eustis FL, and other than a couple of years out of state during college, have lived in FL all my life. Grew up in Jax, Clearwater, Tampa, ST Pete, Miami, Kissimmee, so never far away.

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

About 200 miles. Moved up here in 1997 when I changed careers. I missed my home area for a while, but after driving through the old haunts while down visiting family I realized that it wasn't the place, but the people/family I longed for.

About 1,300 miles thank God. Had a great childhood and a patient family, but the midwest is just too fuggin' liberal for me.

1 mile across the field. I've traveled to many places but it is hard to beat Southeast Missouri for variety of outdoor opportunities.

I am an easy rifle shot away (maybe 250 yards). But, I've been a dang lot of places in between. I've Lived a couple places on each coast, Hawaii, and been alot of places overseas while I was in the Navy. Seems like most small town folks live their life trying to get away, I spent the first 10 years of adulthood trying to get back. I made it and am here for good. Been living in the house my wife grew up in for about 12 years now.

I'm close to 1050 miles away. From Western Or. to NW Wyoming. Mostly for work. But I found out that there were places it didn't rain 8 months of the year too. Plus the hunting is better, fewer people, and they are more conservative.
I can't see leaving anytime.
