You live in some pretty country nw of Houston, Not far from Lake Conroe. My point is that Texas has everything from Desert to Mountains,Gulf of Mexico to the Plains, huge rivers and lakes and almost every other kind of country in between. So it gets a little warm for three months or so. September thru May is worth the wait

I race, boat and offroad there is no limit to the recreation opportunities or land on which to do it. If you want cooler weather (in the evenings) try the hill country

previously, for 10 years @ 28.566554, -81.504092
and 12 years at @ 38.126016, -122.586297

Both cool places to live/visit. I love to go to other places and have traveled the world extensively. Just like the freedom and elbow room in Texas :drink:

You guys in Texas have sure had a rough decade! Drought for 8, then flooding for the next two! Sure hope things settle down for you guys. Of course, you're not far from GOD'S country here in Arkansas!! LOL!!

You forgot about the forest fire that evacuated us for 2 weeks.

Wobble, I spent my working years traveling N. America with several trips to Orient. Always lived out in the country for room, hotels get campy even the large ones. While what you say about Texas, not trying to argue, has some merit the fact is there are NO Mountains, NO large rivers, NO large lakes and to change scenery you need to travel for 2 days. Heck if you live in So. Cal you can go dune bugging or off road motorcycle riding in the morning, snow skiing in the afternoon and surfing that evening. Heck you could stop off at lake Castaic and go water skiing also, all in the same day. That is diversity.

That is true, but you have to dodge the fruits and nuts all the way.... BTW, how's Travis? Bob L said his place is flooded! 3 yrs ago, it was 45ft down!!!

I did not say it was perfect!
Wobble, do you go to Marble Falls for the drags?

I was joking, (kinda), I was actually born in Lancaster! Grew up in the desert. Loved the trips to Pismo.

Yes, not so much lately used to have access to a house that was on the water next to course.

Even by the toughest yardstick, we have real mountains https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...peaks_of_Texas

Lakes, maybe not the best but they are all full again. Sam Rayburn, Texoma, Livingston, Travis

Rivers http://texasalmanac.com/topics/environment/rivers The Rio Grande is nearly 1900 miles long


Texas also has jobs, main reason people that think other places are better now live here:whistle:
