Western NC is where I would like to retire to. Still have over 20 years for that. We have 6-12 more inches of snow forcasted for tue-wed. Another end of the week. Winter is never going to end.
The wonders of the internet still amaze me, I can sit here in Australia and read about the snow that is stopping your progress while I can’t proceed with my garden railway make over because it is 107 degrees outside, 1 day down with 4 or 5 to go in our mini heatwave according to the weather men. The sun has nearly set so I will go and battle the mosquito’s for a while in the relative cool (77 degrees) of the evening, oh well, it makes the cold beer extra nice to drink, the things we do for our hobby.
The bonus is that it doesn’t snow in winter down here, well not at my place, so apart from a few hot days I can play trains all year round.

I love the southern appalachains and the culture. You cant beat good ol blue grass music. I just hope I can get some XC skiing and snowshoeing in during the winter.Shawn said:Shawn, I'll be here waiting for you.

Shawn said:Shawn, I'm about 30 minutes from Asheville, 5 minutes from Lake Lure. Boone is a bit colder and gets more snow. I'm also about 5 minutes from another lake, Lake Adger and 5 minutes from the Green River. My wife grew up here. Although I miss the beach, life here is very peaceful. Should you wander this way for a vacation before you retire, look me up. If not, hopefully we'll see you in 20 years or so. Ralph
