You have no wife, no children, no family to look after bc they’re all dead and you’re still young enough to get a job wherever / enjoy life.

Where you going, Baw?

-Hot Springs, AK
-Durango, CO
-near the coast of one of the Carolinas
-east TN

In that order. Durango would be #1 but I'm worried about never being able to adjust to the altitude/dangerous iced roads.

Somewhere in the Florida panhandle perhaps. Maybe Pensacola metro like Gulf Breeze.

Lookout Mountain, where I currently live, rarely gets above 90 degrees and still snows occasionally

I'd strongly consider a nomadic lifestyle under those circumstances. Find a remote job and move around a lot to see the country/world.

This really depends on what you enjoy. I would want to be near people and things that make me happy.

I live in Colorado and go to Durango often…..I hate Colorado and would be in Louisiana in a heartbeat. 4 months of summer here and bitter cold the rest of year.

There’s some strange people here too, you think Louisiana is bad.

Durango is awesome and it doesn't take that long to adjust to the altitude. The icy roads can be wild. I rode down the million dollar highway in a blizzard with my awd Volvo station wagon and survived but good lord was it scary. Full grown 4x4 trucks were bowing out and pulling over.

I’d take a rowdy black bitch for a ride north until someone said “what’s that”. I’d send her back home and stay there.

East Tennessee. I also enjoyed South Carolina while I was in the Navy.

For July, Durango has an average July high of 84°. That's only a bit higher than NOLA's October average. Relative to NOLA, Durango doesn't really have a summer at all.

But I totally understand the cold complaints. I was there in mid-May and there were still some park entrances that had a good bit of snow/ice. Durango is the prettiest area on my list, but it would definitely require the biggest adjustment.

I'm sure that you've already done so, but take the Durango-Silverton train ride if you haven't already.

Those conditions are my current situation. I left Louisiana for the Shoals eight years ago and it was the best move I ever made.
