I've had enough

[Danuwoa]

Victims of our own success down here it seems.

They all want a piece of the pie and they all think they’re not like all the other ones that want it. And they’re all wrong about that. If you’re wanting to move here from somewhere else, you’re one of them.

I always reply sure and put the "I would only sell for xxxxxxxx.oo
I reserve all hunting,fishing ,mineral,and recreational rights for 30 years. need 2 years to think about that.30% earnest money is required as a cashiers check made payable to cash." You get taken off all the list pretty quick.

They contacted a buddy of mine and had the “poor hick” mentality. As in they could offer him almost anything and he would jump on it because in their mind he needed their money. He said, “Ha! GON cost you waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than that. If you get it I ain’t givin it to you. You GON have to give me enough that I can get something better than what I already got.” They never called him again.

It'll all stop again soon enough. Till the next round anyway.

I’d sure like to help yall out and get the heck out of Georgia, don’t want to leave my family though. It is entirely too hot 10 months out of the year and there is almost 11 million people that live in this state which is about 8-9 million too many. Every time I go to the mid west or western part of the country I always wish I could look at that scenery everyday in some Mayberry type town.

I'll take 10 months of heat over ten months of snow and zero weather any day.

I don’t love snow but I much prefer 40 degrees over 80 degrees.

I don’t want to move to the arctic circle, just a place that actually has 4 seasons, not 2 months of cool and 10 months of hot.

Here, we have 5 months of frozen, a couple months of half-frozen, one month of hot, and four months of about perfect. That's about five too many months of frozen for me. I'll take the 80 all day long and twice on Sunday. You can have the 40.

Back when I was a young man, cold weather never bothered me. I much prefer warmer weather these days.

You gotta move up further north in the south sounds like. Dial that winter/summer balance towards winter a bit.

 

[Shotgun1]

Don't mean to sound picky but 50 to 70 degrees is just right for me.

I wouldn’t mind Kentucky or northern Tennessee, it’s right purdy up there. But personally nothing I’ve seen holds a candle to out west and the farmer folks around those towns seem like good folks.

And it works in both directions. Most of my Grandpa's old farm behind me is now owned and occupied by a rich lady from rural south Georgia who moved up here and married a local guy. She's part of one of those old money plantation families down there. Now, the land I grew up roaming, and know every tree, rock, and groundhog hole on is closed to me.

I don’t know any rich plantation owners down here. I know they exist but it’s not like there are lots of them. And most of those old places have been sold years ago to people who are not from here at all.

We are in the beginning stages of heading into the Appalachians ourselves. I am with you on the heat thing, I hate it. Been in it my whole life.

Having said that, we have been spending a large amount of time up in the hills for the last several years. The winters are not for the faint. You can go week or more at a time without seeing the sun and that thin mountain air is painful. There have been a few times up there where we were below freezing and no sunshine for long periods of time and that is NO fun- remove the sun completely and it's just not the same as down here where the sun shines in the winter. I cant remember what year but probably 2021 or 22, it was 4 degrees one morning the first week of May. It just doesn't warm up there like it does here when the sun hibernates.

I have said it before and until you feel it for yourself, 28* in the mountains is NOT like 28* degrees in most parts of GA. It is bone chilling and will hurt you but I am willing to make the switch, for now. The GA summers have become completely miserable with the humidity. I don't remember them like this when I was young and that's probably a getting old thing.

Yep, mountain winters are miserable, and they just refuse to leave in the spring. I've seen a foot of snow in my yard in May before, and a killing frost the first week of June. But the rest of the year from mid May-early October is normally great. November-mid-April pretty much sucks, most years. January and February are horrible.

It's snowing right now in Colorado.

The main thing about the peaky mountains would get to me is the short days. Sun up over one side at 10 sets on the other at 3. Naw suh. Plus everything in nature would rather be warm than cold. Thats why the world sleeps in wintery places. Give me warmth and life any day.

It gets daylight at 530 up at the shack. I am an early bird otherwise I would have to black out the bedroom. Some long days in July. We are not in the biggest of mountains but lots of things never see sunlight up there even when it is sunny and 85.

A lot of that depends on what exposure of the mountain you're on. North side is rough if you like sunlight.

Yup a shack on a north facing slope in a deep holler would prob kill me ded.
