very beautiful there and I could just travel in some of the winter months. Wouldn't take many for some of the small states we could easily take them but I wouldn't go unless a community was planned.

I have lived in red areas before and its tough, it would take a large community to fight back.

Someone needs to make a plan and start gathering people and buying up land.
