You might try looking in the upstate part of South Carolina - the Greenville - Spartanburg area is really beautiful
its incredibly beautiful there . . . its also pretty DARK in lots of it

I keep thinking of moving back to NC but creeping urban growth is ever closer to my hometown and liberalism is coming with it. Western NC near Boone is where I'm now looking, although the idea of going a few miles further into TN and losing the income tax is very inviting.
Hear it all the time on my police scanners. Black male this, and black male that.
Its bad in Spartanburg, about half of Greenville, especially north Greenville,
and Anderson is also bad. These are the 3 main cities that comprise,
The Upstate of South Carolina.
It is still not bad, so far in the town that I am in, but with each passing year,
it gets DARKER AND DARKER. As I have stated many times,
no place in the ZUSA, is going to be spared from the diversity destruction.
Please be safe everyone.

I think there will be a far different country two years from now.
It's a ridiculous amount of money and even at half the price, the place has been beat up for the past 30 years and nothing done with it. They couldn't even fork over to have that pool dozed and buried before they put it on the market. Says a lot. Plus, only 20 acres.It is a classy out dated place. All the wood and stone are from the mountain...
I’m kinda in contact with the owner and that price might come down a notch.
So here we have a TB2k retreat, 3200’...
Maybe a 501c
It’s the end of the world, so I’ll kick in a chunk....

Ok so if everything works out with my not very high priced lawyer at the parole hearing I might be traveling to great unwashed hinterlands where some of ‘all ya’all’ reside in 3 or so weeks.
Any suggestions of places to see, check out or eat at from Nashville all the way around the smokie mtns are welcome.
Thinking about the edge of Tn, western N Carolina to E tip of Ga, basically a big circle around the mountains.
Also towns or area’s that would provide views of the big hills for consideration would also be appreciated, or places to stay away from, ie. this is the town I live in and the thought of Squid being anywhere near me makes me break out so not here’
My home county of Rockingham is pretty red, and borders Danville, VA. It is a great place to live, Ruger is there. Property values like everywhere else are getting too high but what can you do.
I am in Raleigh, I hope to escape very soon!
Agree on checking it out in July or August! A few years ago, hubby and I took Dixie to Virginia to try to breed her. Shoestring budget as always, so we camped with her at a campground. It was HOT sticky and buggy. High 90s every day. One afternoon, we headed into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park... got up about 2500 feet, and it was 72 degrees and gorgeous!The thing is, Squid, is that if you've been raised a Rocky Mountain boy, you need to really consider climate change - not the political junk science one - the very REAL difference of a humid climate compared to a dry one.
You're going down to visit during the nicest time of year with the bugs largely gone, the temps and humidity down and the leaves turning. Now there's nothing wrong with that but it can give you an unbalanced view of things. You really need to go there in late July or early August before you make a decision, so you can let the bugs feast on some fresh meat if they can work their way through the sweat that'll be covering you all day and night. And when you get out of the shower, the towel will be soaked and you'll still be sweating up a storm. You have to convince yourself that sweating is a good thing.
But hey ... once you get the itch you do indeed have to scratch it.
Get yourself a trailer house in both places and be a sort of snowbird? That wouldn't be all bad.
yep wait. Son in law is in mortage banking and flips houses on the side. He says there is a crash coming.I am waiting for the market to die back down...
How about Bryson or west of Bryson?absolutely the best thing one could do if looking to come to this area . . . ASSville is very slowly poisoning WNC . . . like a bad drain field the stench is seeping out into the rural areas. as much as I love it where we are if I had to leave here that area of TN north of 81 and W of Bristol is where I'd be looking.
I've owned property here since '94 . . . lived here nearly 20 yrs . . . in the last 12-15 years its changed - and its changed SIGNIFICANTLY
I will look for it, I have to say the name gives me pause but I have the sense of humor of a 6 year old...Eat, lodge and visit Shatley Springs, in NC, and take some gallons of their healing spring water.

Fyi, I lived in Orlando and in Charleston. Thinking of some elevation snow is no big deal depending more on the cold . Big difference between 32 and -10.The thing is, Squid, is that if you've been raised a Rocky Mountain boy, you need to really consider climate change - not the political junk science one - the very REAL difference of a humid climate compared to a dry one.

If you had to order them top to bottom what would be the order and why?Sparta! Saluda! Brevard! Hickory! Statesville!
Pricey is relative. I purchased some acres in some farm land area in central Ohio some 20 years ago. The city is expanding and now 1 acre goes for what used to get 5-7 acres.I live in Henderson county around a half hour south of Asheville. It’s beautiful country but it has gotten pricey in the last few years. There is a reason that it’s expensive. And I friggin love it here. It’s some of the best weather ever, one ok snowfall per year the last 8 years and I’m in sweats and hoodie in July and no AC. Butt loads of outside activities. Used to visit Asheville occasionally, but haven’t been since the silliness started.
Part of the moving to a new area is being accepted.
And because it’s a purple area, with tourists, it’s open minded to all hard working people. Not sure if that’s a positive or not.
Tons of work, regardless of your field.
And 5 hours to the ocean, myrtle beach area...... sorry...
And I’m not trying to sell anything here, but in a bunch of years traveling, this is where I want planted.
And I would gladly meet for a cup of coffee in downtown Hendersonville with any TB2k folks and share what knowledge I have.
My treat....

thanks..
Shatley Springs was called Radium Springs for a while. Last I knew the whole place was for sale.
If you head that way and want to be annoyed by a fellow TB2Ker, PM me. I'll treat you to a pizza at POTM (Pie On The Mountain).
