    I hear TN has been attracting numbers as well. I think I’d like heading back to the mountains of Western NC or Eastern TN.

    If I was single Id go build me a cabin in the mountains and hunt, fish and grow my own food if I could get away with living off grid like that. I enjoy the quiet of the wilderness.

    In 1977, I moved to Waynesboro, Va, it was a laid back, small, friendly and it had around 5 traffic lights. If two or more cars were stopped at a light, you would think it was rush hour. NOW, it is unbelievable. #### Yankees from Northern Virginia retiring in the Valley. They cannot build houses fast enough. Think I will move back to Spindale, NC, where I first saw the light of day.

    That area is on my retirement radar. Two of my kids and four grands live in western NC (as did my ex and I in the late 90s and early 2000s). And as my life situation has changed significantly this year with a divorce and my mother’s passing, said retirement may come sooner than later.

    Just head down 79 a little further and you can do that. All the cheap land is down that way. My brother in law has his place and his fathers and bought another adjoining property in Weston. I’ll probably end up there.

    Sitting at my delivery here in Oakley Ca. Which is actually Antioch. I’ve been here at this new Pacific Pride warehouse twice before. Their old one in town that I delivered to about a half dozen times was a disaster to get to. You had to turn right in front of the police station that said no left turn in order to hit the dock the correct way. The only thing on the street was their place. From what I was told, the occasional cop would stop you to make sure you needed to be there. This new place is huge, quiet and peaceful sleeping. Plus it helps that these folks are super nice. Off to Lodi and finish out a reset.
