Next year when my youngest leaves the house I will be able to retire and with all of my older kids gone from this area, and most friends as well, nothing is really here to hold me in Northern Illinois. Anywhere I move to will be far from some of the kids, so I think I may just pick a spot that will be ideal from a riding point of view (I haven't yet discussed this with my wife, so who knows what will really happen?). I hope that some of you out there who have already been through this could make some recommendations as to where the ideal riding location is. I know I don't want to live in the really, really hot parts of the U.S. since the summer heat is almost worse than living with snow and cold. I guess I am dreaming, but I hope to find the right place, and also not be in a high tax area, and not be where my right to carry a firearm will be overly restricted as well. Well, maybe this is just a dream thread.
