If you had to pick up and move where would you go?

Lake of the Ozarks for us. Plan is to get a house there and get a condo in DSM. Youngest is still in elementary school so will be awhile before we move south.

Teach the youngest how to house-sit, and watching a condo will be nothing

Seeing stuff like this is why I want to move to the Pacific Northwest.

To a low tax state with nice warm weather. Or New Hampshire.

A lot of people think that, but then reality hits when they realize how much work is involved in living away from everything like that. Living far from everything like that would almost have to involve living off-grid. And when you live off-grid ... in mountains ... just chopping wood for your fires would become nearly a full-time job in the spring and summer to get enough to last you through the fall and winter. And if your goal is to isolate yourself, you'd need to grow your own food, hunt your own meat, find your own water source and dig your own outhouse.

If you're not thinking of living that far away from everything and remaining on the grid, then never mind.

Not only that, but mountains have their own climate, and it is generally pretty harsh.
