The Ozarks are gorgeous as well.
Are you invaded?
We considered MO for a while, around Clinton, way outside of KC. There’s a lake there that is pretty uninhabited, Truman or something.
No invaders sighted hereabouts.
We’re at Lake of the Ozarks, south of Jeff City.

Low taxes, low cost of living, friendly people, did I mention low taxes?
Built a new house on lakefront property back in ‘02.
Soil is very rocky so our veggie gardens are raised beds with brought in dirt.
We still have two dozen green tomatoes to pick plus 100 jalapeños (won’t plant quite so many next year.)
Still do a bit of oil biz but don’t get out and travel to customers. Tank cars are my specialty.
Life is good.
