Wow! Lots of replies already and some funny ones to boot! I guess I should have mentioned that all of my business is done online so local sales or city size isn't a concern really. Hey, keep 'em comin'!

Halfway between Tuscon and Mexico, Cattle Ranches abound, and they make good wine in Elgin. Best part for me is there are not alot of people, still workin on that 5 year plan now reduced to 2 or 3 because it's to darn cold in Utah.

Art, do we have to include Texas as an honorary state?

[TracyMoss]

Well, we'll settle for honorary REPUBLIC.

if you dont mind the snow

sheridan wy,

fort collins colorado or

estes park colorado

if you wnat to stay warm and like city life, my vote would be for Fort Worth (or west of there),

or if you love open country, dont need lots of city amenities (including big grocery stores or hosptals... my vote would be for Alpine or Fort Davis, way out in west texas.

Don't work with much leather, do enjoy braiding with rawhide thou. Given the chance to relocate and I might find myself where I could sit out on the front porch and watch the sun set over the mountains while I do whatever the $*@% I please.

Cattle and horses would outnumber humans 50 to one on any square mile within 40 miles of my porch. Not sure where that is just yet. Pretty sure that it is somewhere west of Illinois. Good luck with your search. Send us pictures when you get there.

I concur that would be heaven. One concession tho. It would need to be within walking distance of a Pub. It can be a one horse town (so to speak) as long as it had a combined general store/post office/pub/petrol pump out front. I'd like to finish up sitting on the front porch in my rocking chair with some form off leather work close at hand. Maybe some braiding project hanging off the porch post.

Richard,

Very interesting question. If you notice the responses most of us chose right were we currently live. You might consider that. The grass isn't always greener....etc. etc.

MARLON!! No state tax in Texas? How far is that from Hamilton, Ohio....in rigid motorcycle miles?
