Living 350 miles from the Florida border and more like 600 from
anywhere I might want to go makes that plane start looking good.

One of the main reasons we decided not to move to Florida was because it would add
all that mileage to any trip we wanted to take.

When we go someplace we want something different so that 350 miles
only adds another 35-40 minutes to the plane trip.

I really like it here. I can get in my boat and get out into an
estuary that is pretty unique. We can get away from people and that is
a valuable thing. When we want to see something else, the airport is
about 15 minutes away and the interstate is more like 5.

That sounds ideal. I think if I had stored my boat at Solomons Island, I'd probably
still own it. And, I'd be spending a lot more time using it than I was. The drive
down to Quantico has become a nightmare, sometimes taking over an hour to get there
from the beltway and/or to get back on Sunday.

We look for different things going on near the campgrounds we've been to. Apple
Harvest festivals, bluegrass festivals, etc. I enjoy taking the dogs for hikes, and
the state parks in Virginia. Either next year or the year after we'll take a trip to
Yellowstone and vicinity. I've been there by motorcycle, but my wife's never seen
that neck of the woods.

It wasn't an accident that I ended up here. I had been looking at
Florida for most of my life and this area is the least developed down
in the peninsula. It is pretty wild up in the big bend area but it
gets cold.
The problem is a bunch of people followed me. When I moved here,
Estero was less than 2000 people. Now it is 10x that.
Fortunately we voted "20-20" money for the state to buy all of the
land around the river west of us so it will not get any busier down at
this end of the road.

And it's unlikely that the Estero River is going to be inundated by
massive amounts of boat traffic any time soon. It took me a couple of
tries to even find it, and then there are the skinny water issues.

We like it that way. ;-)
