Pick a state

I vote for the Ouachita hills in southeast Oklahoma or western Arkansas. Avoid Hot Springs as it has become a destination retirement place. I'm thinking Antlers Ok. Timber, hills, big fishing lakes, good deer hunting on both sides of the border. Arkansas requires liability ins. on your boats btw. Not many states do that (YET)
Also, I understand West Virginia is trying to lure folks to move there with lower income taxes. I always liked Ronceverte. anyway my 2cents
good luck
