When I was younger I used to idolize New York City. Go to the clubs a couple times a week. Then one day I was in my late 30s and I had ridden my bike from where I lived and lower New England to Central Park. I'm sitting there watching the people and I just realized how absurdly stupid it was to live in this city. Everyone's on top of each other, there's no room, everyone's ornery and loud, clueless. That was the last day I went to New York City. I only go there now to fly in and out because it has one of the better airports for flights anywhere. But yes New York's countryside is darn beautiful once you get out of the reach of New York City's trains. it's got tons of farms and little villages. Quiet living.
I left there in 2000. I was a city kid, never thought I'd leave, lived in beach front property. I didn't want to raise my kids there. Moved to Florida, it was great for 20 years, but then it also became overcrowded. So I moved to the Ozarks.
I'm intrigued by the Ozarks. I'll be taking my camper east in 2023 and was thinking about hitting that area. How would it be in the spring?
Depends will you travel to Arkansas or Missouri? On the Arkansas side it's 82 now, Missouri side is kinda colder until June.
