I live five minutes from a clear trout stream well stocked with rainbows and brown trout. The place? Golden, Colorado As I read your post, I look across the street at a beautiful Victorian house.

Still country, but not too much so. Close enough for you to take advantage of your retirement benefits, but far enough away if you choose not to do so.

Probably do the same this summer only back through mountains of western NC as it's been too many years since we last did so... - SJS dk:

I posted at 11:21 PM Mountain time and got posted at 9:21 PM. Isn't that out there in the ocean somewhere? By the way, where is your “comment clock” set for?

Not that different from Bend, but quite a bit more conservative, political wise. And if you need a city near by, Boise is a big town with asperations of cityhood. I live in Meridian, a bedroom community right beside Boise. If we stay here after the last kid is out of the house we might move a little farther out into the countryside. And what little snow we get usually melts before you can shovel it. Pixiekiller’s first post hit on some of my favorites, up highway 95 from Boise.

(after some dinner at a local diner,,,,hummm, make that: supper at a local diner). I'm guessing you're in your early 40's. And, pretty soon an "X fighter pilot". You're a bit agressive, (a fighter pilot "gotta be"), certainly intelligent, and you can't sit around playing golf. You would want to be doing something useful... And lucretive as you have a couple of children to put through college. Oh, and what does the little woman want? Kids gone, empty nest and all that. Does she have a dream? Is she working towards that dream now? Is she already living that dream? Anyway, you will find a really good job with some small to middling modern company that'll pay really well for your skills and "attitude" and you will want to live close to it, (commutation being wastful. Well, maybe you'll get a motorcycle. That'll take the curse off all that wasted time). Everything else now means nothing but "day dreaming". There are responsibilities and a second career to build. Any plans as to where to retire are a waste as what will these places look like or be like 20/30 years from now? I think you are still too young to be thinking about a rocking chair on a front porch in the afternoon sun with your trusty hound dog at your feet.... remembering the places you've been, the people you've known, the food you've eaten, the girls you've - oups! "Places to Live"? Yep. Really the wrong question! The best of luck anyway. ….Some second thoughts…. (after some dinner at a local diner,,,,hummm, make that: supper at a local diner).
