What's so damn great about your neck of the woods?

I wouldn't say that where I live is exactly "great", but I like it enough to have settled here after a lifetime on the road. Mostly, I like it here because it's near my family. But also because it's a little town (technically a Village) with a laid-back easy-going style that reminds me of living in Mayberry from the old Andy Griffith show, but in color and without the Southern accents. The people are friendly, and the businesses are small, family owned places. It's on the water, and the river and a boat/fishing dock is less than 250 feet from my front door. It's a nice, quiet place to retire.

Of all my travels though, my favorite area to live in was San Francisco. Besides all the fun of 'Frisco itself, it's proximity to so many other funtastic places, landscapes, climates and things made it my ultimate place to live. From Yosemite to L.A. to Seattle to adventures in and on the ocean for scuba and fishing, the desert, the mountains, the entire West Coast Shoreline, the redwood forests - it just had it all, as far as I was concerned. If I had the money to relocate myself and my closest family there and sustain us all (yeah, we're talking a lottery win here), that's where I'd live out the rest of my life.

I live in mid-western Canada in the Rocky Mountains. It doesn't get much better than this! Makes for easy wild-life photography!
