I love it here. Trees, mountains (ok, hills) and rivers, my favorite setting, without tons of snow. Friendly people, for the most part. I'm a California kid so am not too fond of the winters here, so usually head south for a few months to skip that. But you're right - if you need a decent job it's very difficult here. I moved here right after retiring, 4 years ago. If you don't need a job, it's hard to beat.
Best of luck with your tour. It's a beautiful ride, if you haven't done it before.
