SDak The Black Hills and Hot Springs, Rapid City quite nice. Awful weather in eastern 3/4 of the state, but clean air and lots of room. Most interesting state in Midwest.

As an expatriated Dakotan, thanks for the plug. The weather is probably too unpleasant in the whole state for a retired person. Nice people, cheap quiet living, but the weather flat out stinks. My mom, a tough woman in her own way, thanks God every day that she doesn't have to endure another South Dakota winter.

My parents, in their 80's, moved here (Rapid City, SD) from East Texas in 1995. We definitely have four seasons, and yes, some winters can seem a bit long, but not nearly as harsh as many believe. In fact, my Dad played golf yesterday and today. Great people, no state income tax, low crime, incredible scenery, tremendous medical facilities, and a major plus....this part of the state is ulta-conservative.
