I do actually have some experience in northern temps. I forgot to mention that. Lol. I grew up in the military & lived in some northern states like Washington, Alaska and Maryland (just to name a few) & I went to school at Penn State main . It's been a few years, & quite different than the mild Florida winters I've experienced for the past 18 years. Lol. I've actually missed it.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Tara Allsopp wrote:Hi Dale,
Yes, nothing terminal thank God. The phrase is more a reference to this being my final move. I grew up in the Navy & each move was a different chapter, so to speak.
My son is actually on board and looking forward to the prospective adventure/move. I've been looking at areas that are not too remote that he wouldn't have access to attend social functions with other kids. Example, I've looked at Emigrant, MT but land prices are a little out of my range. I think he would do well in a small town environment. I'm still trying to find the perfect place for us though. So if anyone has any suggestions for areas near small towns, they are welcomed! Lol

lol. Ive got nothing but time on my hands right now lol

Yay! ^_^ Oh, the area is cheap too. I got a big house, 2 outbuildings, and 2 acres for $100k. Big acreages are available with no house For about the same.

I was looking at 40 acres for about $25k in northern AZ. That by itself was enough to consider AZ. LOL. But ultimately I'm a woodsy chick. I need some more green.

Still able to dream.

Hi Tara, I am Cliff and welcome, also follow your dreams! I believe in you.
This is all just my opinion based on a flawed memory

In my model, like-minded people with similar goals move into a general area and meetup every weekend for group activities. It can be a garden club, or a religious thing or whatever those goals and ideas are. In a permies sense, we can create new communities in a locality without all moving to the same farm, and share ideas and help out with big projects like barn raisings.
