    my basic parameters that I am liking are.

    I am 1 mile form the hardware store, local tavern, and local Pizza chain in a town of 1k, Winlock, WA

    20 minutes of mostly rural (Can easily run State highways rather than I5) from a significant town. Centralia/Chehalis combined are about 20k big enough for wall mart/national chains. Looks like Harbor freight is putting in a loc there also.

    45 min to an hour (traffic dependent) from Lacey/ Olympia or Longview/Kelso. If I need to step up the city type supplier game.

    And 90 minutes from Portland or Seattle.


    Would consider moving up Hwy12 a little but Ice on the road in the winter becomes a concern much past Ethel.

    p.s. I trust the Volcanoes over the People to not blow up.

    Last I checked, st George Utah had some crappy beaches.
    Plus, its not 2 hours from my house.
    Should be a very large time with the whole family.

    But it's only a 2 hr drive to Las Vegas.....

    Just pointing out the communication gaps cause by geography. I didn't know there was a St. George in FL. My geographic knowledge rapidly falls off east of the Rockies.........
