Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you have a good plan for the future. I live in Michigan but just bought a place in Virginia on Smith Mountain Lake which is in the south west part of the state. I am slowly moving my stuff down there into storage. Hope you find a good spot. The people are friendly, I can tell ya that much.
I much appreciate it @old-guy-photos Yeah I think it will be a good future for me moving up there. Oh thats great, I checked out Smith Mountain Lake and looks beautiful. I hope to find some land with running water via a stream or river on it, or maybe a pond. So hope to join you with a little water as well.
Ah yeah the moving part seems like it will be alot of work. We are still discussing how we plan on doing it. I think hiring a moving truck is the way to go, just need to make sure my road is good enough for a big ol truck.. haha
Yeah people in the South are quite friendly, hope people wave at you when you drive by. That's usually a sign of a really friendly area.
