Off Topic A place for you car junkies to boldly post off topic.

Hypothetical question: if you could relocate anywhere in the US where would it be?

Asheville NC fits everything on that list, except we do have some oak trees... nothing like Florida. though. I love it here. Mountains, rivers, fishing, trails, 4 seasons.

Just stay away from the hippies and its a great place to live. If you love the outdoors, you literally can't be bored in AVL.

I was about to say Johnson City, Tennessee, or southwest Virginia, not far away from Asheville here! I definitely love the 4 wheeling that we have access to, and great views.

The remote and rugged John Day area is within an easy drive, regional airport in Redmond, Portland less than three hours. Crater Lake, the Columbia River gorge, deserts and mountains and rivers and lakes and a not-too-outrageous cost of living at a good standing...what's not to like Not to mention Columbia Overland is based there too.
I've heard Bend, OR is nice, just too many dirty hippies.

No clean hippies in Colorado, but this helps take the edge off.
It's the view from my office window. Makes me want to leave work early every day!

I like where I already live in Colorado but I think Cortez, CO in SW Colorado would also be a good place. Being in the center of the Four Corners area there are great places in all directions from Cortez and not very far away. Not a very exciting town but if your emphasis is on the outdoors and plenty of it then this is a great central location for anything and everything outdoors oriented. I've also always liked quiet, tiny Hanksville, Utah in the middle of the lonely/isolated Utah desert but having great access to fantastic places in all directions. Being not a gregarious person Hanksville appeals to my loner instincts. A small house there would appeal to me but I'm sure not to my wife. All I've ever required is a gas station, a grocery store, and a library if I had no money worries.

I would have to say that here in the Springs it is a bit crowded but if you need access to a decent size airport it works. My commute to work is 15 minutes, the airport is 20, and the mountains are about 30. But all in all, not a bad place to “have” to live.

NOW that's the spirit!!! Viking Funeral for me thanks.

He who dies with the most toys... IS DEAD.

To the OP, I do love the area between Blairsville, GA. and Asheville, NC.
