Mountains, lots of mountains, sparse population, good people, good place to raise the kids.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

My Mom's side of the family have been here since the 1800s, dad's from turn of the century 1900.
I'm a direct descendent of the first Commander of Jamestown on my dad's side and French Canadians first settling in St Genevieve, St Louis area from around 1800 on my mom's side, then to California in the 1840s to grow grapes... My family's has always been on the forefront of the American frontier since the beginning.
I'm a westerner/south westerner/Arizonian/desert rat born and bred.

A series of restraining orders mostly. Plus the electronic tether. 🤔

Was born in Johnstown PA. My family moved up here when I was 2. Grandparents ram a sporting goods store here for 20+ years.
Pretty good area. Can walk outside and hit National forest and walk all day. Rivers, lake, trout streams… wonderful area.
Wife and I now own 57 acres.. we talk about selling and moving around retirement age but I doubt we will… Be glad you left Johnstown. The air has gotten cleaner. Nothing else has improved. Family has lived just west of here for 260 years. Dad was killed in 72, Mom moved this way to be near her family. I liked it here, never had any special skills to facilitate picking up and moving. Would've, could've, should've? Location is just one of many things I ponder about. I've got it good. Not ideal. If I had matriuculated, enlisted, moved.....I might be better off. Or not!
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

I was born in Detoilet, raised in a suburb on the west side. When I left for the military I decided that I didn't want to go back there. Plus my wife's family is from this area.

Texan by birth, Okie by marriage and 40 inherited acres!
I've actually killed more and bigger deer in Ok than I ever did in Texas.

Yep. I live about an hour away from my home town. My 2 brothers are there and the farm my parents bought in 1962 is still "the home place". My 2 kids live within 20 minutes of me. We take one grand daughter to school every day and pick her up after school is out and take her home. My folks and grand parents are all buried in the home town area. I guess I'm stuck here. kwg

Wyoming…… moved by choice, however, I was able to take a job transfer (oil/gas related)! Wanted an area of great hunting opportunities, much more freedom, much less crime, a lot of public land, and a much lower population (closest Walmart 85+ miles, closest interstate 100 miles, closest city over 15K people[excluding Jackson Hole] is 150+ miles)…….perfect for someone that hates cities and the pestilence they offer! I had to initially take a considerable pay cut…..but, more than made up for it over the years.
Even met/married a Wyoming girl that shares many of the same values/desires!
So far……pretty pleased with the move! memtb

At the end of a dead end dirt road, no visible neighbors, closest are 1/4 mile away.
Land butts up to National Forest with a trout stream, hunting and fishing right in the back yard.
Lots of room to roam the area on foot and by horseback. The back roads and trails around here make a great training area for competitive distance horses.

River on one side, mountain on the other. Over 1 million acres of National Forest out my door. Good job.

I live in Canada because I wasn't smart enough to go to the states and marry an American woman and get a dual citizenship when I was a young man.
Stupid....Stupid.........Stupid! lol
