Inquiring minds want to know as I have driven across that same bridge, but did not go very far into Arkansas, how did you guys like the drive across Arkansas. What did the state look like? Did ya see the Ozarks or were ya too far south?
For the life of me I cannot quite wrap my head around what the lure and appeal of New Hampshire and its cold, snowy winters had for a retreat from leftwing radicalization. You just drove through Tennessee which has pretty nice weather AND is a moderate climate. You can live in the wilderness areas or suburbs or big cities. They have mountains as well and is a conservative state with more conservative states surrounding it..
SO, that is kind of why I am wondering somewhat..
You guys had a drop dead gorgeous looking new home built on beautiful acreage. So I am not picking on y'all about that. I love the beauty as well.. Just curious as if you considered Tennessee as potential habitat and home site..
Hope you have a great return trip and maybe can enjoy some of the great beauty of what remains of this country..
