Pick a state

I'm in Colorado. Absolutely love the rural atmosphere in Colorado. However the three counties in Colorado, Denver, Golden and Boulder control all of our politics and those city people do not have the slightest idea of what the rural life is about. They are ruining the state. We are a blue state, controlled by Denver.
This is why I have been looking at other states in the last ten years. I can see what's coming down the californian pipe line.
No where in America is as beautiful as Colorado. Of course I have not seen everything, but I've been looking for a better location than where i am for years and just can't find it.
Beauty doesn't trump politics though.
Eastern Colorado is very similar to Kansas. Very rural farming communities. They love their guns. Guns are a way of life for rural Colorado people. And I mean a daily way of life.
The south western corner of the state has a low population, mostly indians and mexicans in the rural areas. Good places to buy land and disappear if that's what your after.
Here in Central Colorado I have to drive 60 miles to make it to the next big town. Everything is divided by about 60-70 miles. Not a lot of people, yet.
I ride my dirtbike in the mountains a 100 miles a day and won't run into another human. It's the way it's supposed to be.
STAY AWAY from Denver.
