Personally I'd rather do western NC, but saving $10k/year on taxes can buy lots of vacation.Some very beautiful country up there and lots of great hunting and fishing.
Why do you stay in Maryland?

Spent almost my entire childhood in PA - and the one thing - winters are nasty. Especially NE PA.Some very beautiful country up there and lots of great hunting and fishing.
Well especially western PA but I never lived there.
But - I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't for the cold.
I was going to mention that the weather here is a big factor, but was already long winded enough.
I agree that PA weather isn't my favorite, buts he's intelligent, so I figured he's surely done his research. I'm also fairly sure that winter will be the time he uses those tax savings to get away from the worst of it.
Thank you. I gave up hunting when I was still a teen. After a few non-kill shots on squirrels and having them looking at me convinced me I wasn't a hunter.
Now turkey is a different story. I'd love to take that up. As far as fishing from your pier, I still DO want to get over there and give that a try. I've just pretty much had no time to do it yet. I'll stay in touch. Maybe when rockfish season comes back in, I'll stop by after work and give that a try. First one's yours!
Family has been here since 1634. Invaded in larger numbers in 1650 or thereabouts;. Grew up in what was nothing but farms and wilderness in Howard County. Our farm was patented in 1690.
The state is dead to me now. Liberal pond scum have sucked the life out of it.

Late husband's family came here in 1634. Had a big farm (couple hundred acres) in Valley Lee. Most of his family has passed, but my kids kinda grew up there. Think Blake Creek. They owned the Potomac River side too, but sold it DECADES ago.

As they invariably do.
I was stationed in California in the mid-'70s after coming home from overseas, and watched as the blood-sucking leeches migrated seemingly en masse from New York and New Jersey. I blame what California is now on those a*holes.

Having grown up in the Midwest, I dig that we don't have the harshness of winter that other regions have. Nor does it last as long. I'd be okay if summer was 5 weeks long, thoughI was going to mention that the weather here is a big factor, but was already long winded enough.

Unless you and your significant other enjoy cold and snow.
Navy brought me here 28 years ago. Didn't want my daughters to attend as many schools as I did growing up, so we stayed. However, they have all moved on out of here, so once my wife is able to retire - we are out of here. (I am retirment eligible now, but still work since she still has to).
