Welcome, and please visit our AZ thread. I'm sort of stuck in AZ like you, waiting for hubby to finish his PhD, then we're hoping to move to OK or somewhere like it to buy 40-80 acres. He'll start looking for a teaching job at a university next semester. I'll be able to find a job anywhere so we'll see where his job is, first. Anywhere with seasons, cheaper land and summers that don't last 6 months will be pretty ok with me. OK, CO, MO, MT, WY, WA.
