Welcome to Wyoming

Tell it to the tools like Tom Brokaw! I hear he owns like half of Montana, now.

I think you should add Tom Selleck to No. 9
It's called Kalifornication of the country, and it's not consentual.

I remember a few years ago some news story from Wyoming or Montana.  The story was about all these Kalifornicators moving to the mountains and open places.  They were interviewing some bimbo who had moved there from Kalifornia and was complaining about the grizzley bears in her area that were bothering her.  She thought something should be done about them.  I thought why did you move there in the first place.  Either she should move back or the bear should eat her, but that would be cruel.  To the BEAR.

We had the same problem in Illinois when developments "in the country" starting popping up. Lady called animal control in hysterics because a coyote had just snagged her precious little fru-fru "Fluffy" and devoured it. The AC guy asked her what she wanted him to do, and she said "Come and kill the coyote!"> The AC guy allegedly told her "Lady, you moved into his neighborhood!"

Sounds right, I would like for it to be true.

You may think that there's no way to make the comparison, but here in my little seaside town in NJ the same thing is happening. We went from being a small seasonal town with 3 or 4 drug stores, 2 car dealerships, 3 grocery chains, 7 or 8 gas stations to being all condos, B&Bs, with one CVS, one food chain, and 90% of the homes owned as a second or third home by people who have a LOT more money than the natives.

I think it's happening everywhere. I just wonder where the hell do ALL these people get so much money?

Well if they have grizzlies there I'm not moving. I have no problem dealing with black bears that aren't much bigger than me, but grizzzlies scare me. Everything else about Wyoming sounds good. Montana too. Maybe even Idaho. Actually, any state that doesn't have a city like Detroit in it sounds pretty d*amned good!

Go west, young middle-aged man!    Maybe, some day. It's just so hard to leave the great lakes behind.

Not that hard, I managed it. Besides, ain't nothing like sittin' a horse at 7 in the morning out in the middle of nowhere, gathering cows, hitchin the collar up to keep out the wind, listening to the creak of the leather, the breathing of the horse, and the mooing of the cows on a roundup. Golden eagles overhead, jackrabbits spookin everywhere.

Great life if you can handle it.

Pathfinder, sounds like you have your piece of heaven here on earth! Your live'n my dream!!
Thanks for the vision.

Anyone know of cheap land for sale?

I would like to get some land (TX, CO, NM, etc).  What I am looking for....

Low cost (including yearly taxes).

Running water (stream or creek, maybe a lake or pond that doesn't dry up).

Good hunting.

Not unGodly cold in the winter (FL boy here )

Don't really care how 'far from town' or anything else.

Some sort of access other than helicopter

Yeah, I know....if you could find it you'd buy it yourself, but I had to ask!.

[DesertMarine]

Hazcat, we have plenty of that here.  Only problem is that the Kalifornicators and Texans have driven the price of real estate pretty high. 

Pathfinder, I hear you.  Being up early, on your favorite horse hunting mule deer with a mist or snow coming down.  Or just being out in the desert riding by yourself or with a sweet thing.  Of course you have to have a flask of Crown Royal or tequila for warmth or snake bite or, well you get the picture.
