I agree, Fall colors in New England are unique in all the world. And Winters are special too. I have fond memories of driving my FJ-40 through blizzards of "impassable" Rte. 100 to my cabin, windows down, enjoying the silence and isolation of it all. I might have felt differently if the Cruiser broke down but of course you can't kill those things on proper tires. |

Right where I am.
Why? Because, just the thoughts of moving wears me out. |

Visiting a place and living in a place are two very different things. There was (pre bushfires and covid) supposedly a high turnover of property down on the south coast of NSW. People would holiday there on a regular basis and decide that living there would be great based on their holiday experience. Many/most? don't stay because it's not the same as holidaying there.

I'm with you there, but the recent wake up call with the wildfires is the main motivator to once again pack up and move out of a National Forest area. This was the second time in three years we've had to evac. Not that I can complain compared to losses experienced by others living nearby.

I’d like not to live in the same place more than 10 years. I’ve been in Sacramento for 15 and like most everything about politics, culture, and location. 100 miles to the ocean or the mountains.
Sunny days all the time aren’t my thing anymore. I’d to wake up to snow. Or Eureka, lots of rain, fog, and redwoods. |

I'd like a small but very nice house in the woods on a hill by an ocean beach with surf and excellent snorkeling, with a paved runway, hangar, and four car garage, with lots of land, no neighbors visible in any direction, with a wide selection of brewpubs and excellent varied restaurants in walking distance, a vibrant live jazz scene, a great well-stocked grocery store with extensive ingredients for off-the-beaten-path culinary exploration.. all in a remote area. Climate should be mostly winter, temps from well below 0F to high 20s, with a brief two-month summer for enjoying the ocean, with highs no higher than 90F provided there's a good breeze. No mud and insect-filled spring at all. Fall for about two weeks.

Sure would punch most of the buttons. Not so sure about the thriving jazz scene or snorkeling, but obviously there is no perfect place that will do it all. Alaska is definitely on my short list. Unfortunately, it's not ANYWHERE on my wife's list ... soo.... will probably have to be happy with an extended visit there in the near future, or being single. I've been single, and I've been married. Married, at least to the wife I have, is much better.
Still... the dream was fun. Still working on getting that impossible list prioritized. The more I think things through, the more having personal ACCESS to all of those things within a few hours, using private transportation rather than commercial airlines (shudder), is really the key. Nice house, quiet peaceful private area, small plane in hangar w/in 20 minute drive (or on property if possible), with comfortable temps (meaning NOT hot and humid... I have no issues with snow or cold) and limited bugs (I HATE mosquitos and black flies.. they look at me like I look at a fresh wood-fired pizza)... that's probably the main thing. Other issues would veer off into politics.... let's just say I'd probably fit better in South Dakota or Montana than my current NYS residence.
