 Virginia! Excellent choice. I'll start researching 
 The namesake of Texas's capital Sam Austin was from Austinville, Virginia, and moved to Texas.

"More elbow room" perhaps?

The ideas and traditions seem to grow stronger in the steeper valleys and hollows.  

There's a certain freedom in the western expanses. I like the beauty of Virginia, but it feels stifling sometimes. 



 
 What I really want is some of that federal land that's really mountainous. They're sitting on 40% of our land....  
 I was just in that area of Tennessee ,North Carolina, and Virginia.

It's really beautiful if you don't mind the winters

Near Asheville, North Carolina:

 The Appalachians are slept on.

Look in West Virginia if you are really serious about getting remote land at an affordable price 
 This is good to know 
 Winters aren't bad.  
 Highway 81 cooridor has some good old traditions. I'm not from here but have been assymilating.  
 Gosh... If I could move south, I would. 

I'm seriously useful to have around.  
 Land is getting cheaper.  
 I have obligations that prevent me from heading that way.  
 That's totally normal. We should think about ways to include people who can't make the full move right away.  
 But I hope to do something similar where I am moving.

 Seriously beautiful there.
