Kentucky.
Land’s cheap here and the climate is relatively temperate. Winter’s aren’t terribly cold, and summer’s don’t get overly hot. For the most part, outside of the urban areas of Lexington and Louisville, the state is deep red conservative.
Having a huge cave system underneath quite a bit of the state also helps when you want to find some ‘cache’ areas.
That’s exactly where we were thinking about ;) My driving trip ends going through Danville KY and then over to Bristol, VA. Either of those areas seem ideal - from internet research and not seeing them! Figure going there in August would give me a good idea what the humidity/temperature is like at its worst.
Cave system? I’ll need to check that out. Interesting idea. Do you mean geocaching or storing stuff for survival times?
