Where oh where to retire?

I am soon to retire (end of the year), in fact two years ahead of my
schedule but right on time according to my employer. Anyway, I am looking
for that one ideal place. Ideal being large cheap property, "country"
location, sufficient home, garage for truck and boat, nearby deer
woods/bird
fields/bass fishing. So my question is this: If you were to retire today
and
could go wherever you desired in the continental U.S.A., with the above in
mind, then where would you go? You may respond directly if you wish. Thank
you.

You should check out Hot Springs Arkansas. It's surrounded by 3 lakes.

Where oh where to retire?
 

And how cold does it get in the winter?

How high is the humidity year round?

These are the reasons I left Indiana 28 years ago.

Blah Blah Blah, Pocono Mountains Pennsylvania, Low taxes, plenty of
hunting
and fishing, most of it in your own backyard. Get a lake house bordering
state game lands for about 150,000-250,000. Less if you don't need 5
bedrooms, I love it here

you have to walk right by the main gate of the Colorado prison. ;-)

With a 4x4 truck camper you can make Alaska's islands via the ferry.
Otherwise a 4x4 truck pulling a travel trailer with flipped axels is
preferred over a 5th wheel because your tow vehicle can carry boat and ATV.

FWIW you might start spending time designing your trailer. It needs to hold
your ATV under the boat rack unless you plan on a boat top loader on top of
your camper which has pros and cons. Your trailer needs room to carry your
freezer for your meat, ATV chain saw, generator, gas and trolling motor,
firewood, gas water, etc. It's never too early to get started planning.

FWIW full time cost in Alaska and BC and Yukon is about the same cost per
month full timing in the lower 48 except for any major repairs and fly outs.

Good luck!

Motor Home. 'nuff said.

Only if health is NOT an issue.

Imagine 100 plus fishing days driving to/from Alaska.

Imagine fishing from B.C. to the Maritime Provinces and back.

Imagine bass fishing from California to Florida and back.

Good luck!
John

Pretty close to my idea.
If I can swing it I want a fairly new slide in truck camper and truck.
A boat beside the sponge would help also. :}

Start out in spring, leave Wisconsin and fish Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Idaho and Montana. Meet my old partner in Northern California and
head up to alaska for part of the summer. Work our way down the coast
into Nevada,Texas and drop him off in Arizona. Spend the fall fishing
the south and winter in Florida. Spring work up the East coast and
into New England then Canada.
And that's just the first year or so.

I am in the process of making contacts with my peers around the
country for future short lasting contract jobs. Nothing like picking
up a little cash while fishing a new area.

Like Warren said, if the health is up to it.

I thought you were just complaining about the fishing being about over for
the
year - until next spring? We don't have any closed seasons and have
decent
fishing weather 12 months a year.
