Sometime in the next 2 years. Looking at the Huntsville area. Need
3 bed, 2+ bath and 15+ acres. Not in town and no neighbors OK.
Also 59 north of Cleveland.

    Wife wants us to move to Tennessee, though I thought Hendersonville NC was rather nice.

    "Also 59 north of Cleveland."

    That's my old stomping grounds, Cleveland, Hardin, Liberty County area.

    Be careful & watch the flood zones for that area. The Trinity River South of Lake Livingston has flooded several times over the years, as recent as this past May.

    That being said, IMHO when it's high & dry there is no better place to live. Hunting & Fishing, weather, and cost of living is great.

    I'm jealous, wish I could come back...[|)]

    Sounds good to me. I have spent many hundreds of hours driving across Texas in the big rig. The more I see of Texas the more I like it.
    If I weren't so settled here in NC I would move to Texas.

    Both of those places suck. Texas is much better.

    Didn't mean to start a fight, as to where is better. I lived in Texas from 1965 till 1995. Then tried Az. Finally moved to Ky in 1999.
    I'm almost 70 yr old now, and after done that been there, I'm just wore out. Wife and I need some looking after. Neither one of u want to live on the coast again. Still Hunt and fish, I'm not dead yet.

    I was in Austin a couple weeks ago and drove to South Padre Island for a few days.. Really liked the area...Only problem with Austin is that I got a 60 dollar tollway bill after just being in the area about 5 days.[B)] My step daughter says the Austin area is like 3 fold of what it was a few years ago,,,hence the toll roads.
    I think you are on the right track with a smaller city,,at least that's what I would want.

    The state is big enough you will find the terrain you like. I'm near Tyler, were we actually have real trees! Been through Cleveland many times taking mom to M.D. Anderson in Houston. Lots of pretty country down that way. Just be sure you want to be a long way from everything!

    100% correct. I spend my work week near the coast and weekends in the Hill Country! God Bless Texas!

    Amen. The traffic in Austin is terrible. There is always construction, either north or south of the city, for miles and miles.
    There are always traffic jams. I drove through Austin one Sunday afternoon, there was 4 miles of stop and go traffic downtown on I 35, and there was no wreck.
    God help you if you try to go through Austin on a Saturday afternoon when there is a football game.
    Then, you go around Austin on the great new toll road and you pay through the nose.
    I 35 within 80 miles of Austin in either direction is the only part of Texas I don't like.
