And it would be near water. Not mountains because I hate walking uphill.
And walking downhill on steep hills is not easy either,I have to zig zag down or I would break an ankle and roll down that hill at high speed until something stopped me,a tree,a cow, a clothesline pole,a big honkin' rock. I'd probably would have flail chest and broken arms after it was all over and
I would still have to walk up a steep hill to find help. And I don't wanna think about how damn dizzy that escapade would leave me. I'd have to lay there for an hour for it to stop.

Appalachian mountains out where my folks live? Oh hell no.

Low humidity and cool temps a plus.

Ithica new york sounds good.
