I live in NE Ohio. That’s a no go. It’s blue, and getting bluer.
Southern Ohio is nice, rural, seasons, but you’re still under the thumb of the jerks in Columbus.
My son-in-law was stationed at Ft. Campbell. The base is in TN, just over the border from KY. I think both KY and TN are fine places, I stayed in Clarksville a few times, it was nice. The beauty of that is, no state income tax in TN, and very low sales tax in KY. Living near, but not too near, an Army base generally leads to a conservative populace. Not to mention, Clarksville is close to Nashville, and not terribly far from the Smokey Mountains.
The more I type, the more I’m ready to go!
Interesting area.
As people are talking I am beginning to think about making a road trip across the US and visiting the areas mentioned.
That would be fun, me in my Freeper-recommended Jeep with a little trailer, traveling the States.
Sometimes I wish I could have you all next door to me.
