Help! Where To Move In SE U.S.

| We're currently in Virginia near Charlottesville. The winters (no leaves for 6 mo.) are too long we want to move further south. We have our own online businesses, so it's just a matter of finding the place. The community we are now in is NOT interested in wildlife (other than to get rid of it). We've always established a wildlife habitat at our homes. I want a longer gardening season, but not so hot and humid. We've lived in AL & it stayed hot all night. Don't mind hot days if it cools off in eve. Looking for a more rural or small town location and a housing area that would be next to or near nature trails. Is that a big order? ;-) The dream come true would be a sustainable community. (Heaven?) Hoping some of you have ideas. I don't now where to begin looking when we head down that way in April. Want to find something before Fall. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated from you cool folks. |

Hi Sharingsunshine: We live in the Franklin N.C. area. We've been here 5 years and love it. The bad weather seems to hit the Tenn/N.C. mountains and go north and south of us. Our area is "growing up"....wish I didn't have to say that but it's still nice. Lots of wildlife. Check it out.

| Hot days, short winter, but cool summer nights? I don't believe that exists in the SE, you are seeking an impossibility. It may exist in the high south-western desert. The arid mountains. Days near 100 are followed by nights near freezing in the continental divide of NM, by my personal experience. Trees are spectacular, people are vanishingly few, growing food is very difficult. |

| It certainly isn't the SE US, but the Willamette Valley in Oregon sounds just like what you're looking for. Oct. through late March is wet and cool though. My son and his wife still had tomato's and beans doing well last week. Roots crops had been harvested and were exceptional. Very progressive and sustainability focused area of the country. |
