Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa? Except for the big cities, all are farming and ranching states. We love all of them.

Kansas is a lot of flat-land, like most of Nebraska is. Farming country also. That's what I liked about Kansas...…..field after field of crops, tractors and grazing cattle. If not interested in cowboy or farm stuff, like pro-rodeo, most people won't like Kansas.
 

I grew up in Colorado....love it! We lived in Wichita, KS, for about 4 years, and diving into the Tornado Shelter, several times a year, became almost routine.
 
I grew up in Colorado and still go back for visits. I have lived in Kansas for 45 years and love it. I'm 100% flatlander.

Bloom where you are planted. You waste so much time obsessing about where you want to live; just do it.

This Thread hasn't got a thing to do with our move. Since I don't see any "Location" that says any of these states, I was just wondering. It's ok to wonder.

What did you think of both states? I've been in the "potato" state, but only near Boise. Took the freeway out of Boise, thru the mountains into Boseman, Montana and on into Billings.
Wife and I have been to South Dakota. The Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, Bear Country, Custer State Park, Deadwood City aka "Wild Bill" Hickock's hangout and where he was killed and home to Calamity Jane. Also went to the Western Heritage Museum, just west of Deadwood. It was a very nice trip.
 
Just a little FYI for all who reply to this Thread, most-to-all of the people here in Florida, haven't got a clue where, or care less "where", the states I'm talking about are. Sort of funny, but the folks we talked to while visiting northern Colorado, care less about anything dealing with Florida, the South or the East Coast. We were actually told this.

That's kind of sad. My dad was from Florida and I loved going down there every year. I was stationed at Pensacola for three years. I miss the fresh shrimp/oysters, the beach. The only things I didn't care for were the storms and those giant flying roaches that lived in those big pine trees. They were rather frightening. But every state has its own wonderful uniqueness and its own unpleasantness.

Former Navy Aviation? My entire Navy years were on the West Coast, mainly San Diego and Long Beach.

Not really sad, just a fact how people in different states feel about states they don’t like and would never live in.
 
WHAT??????? I forgot "Big Sky Country" of Montana. Can't do that. I've been to Bozeman and Billings. With the Billings Livestock Commission Auction Yard in Billings, seeing cowboy hats is a normal thing. Lots of livestock buyers go to this for all kinds of livestock.
 
Funny, even though there are seniors that live in all of these states, most of the seniors on this forum aren't interested at all in living in, or possibly even visiting, any of them.

That is where wife and I are completely different than most people here. During my high school years, I was raised in and around farming. I miss it, but only too drive by a farm/farmland, definitely not work on one. Wife never got around farmland or even cowboy stuff, until she met me. Then, that all changed. Now she loves it.
