Rock salt is only used on margaritas with year round riding and even a very low cost of living so your retirement dollars last longer. No state tax on income and no tax on groceries. Pick up trucks and guns are common and most vote conservative. Some call this the Redneck Riviera. Best beaches anywhere and mountains (AL) and casinos (MS) are close.
    The South is on my short list once I get past working.

    Got to pick a good spot, many places it is expensive to live or have other bad things like crime. I like the northern gulf coast myself but some nice places in central Florida also but watch out for the high cost of living. The great and retirees have affected the cost down that way. The good beaches are from Dauphin Island AL to almost Apalachee Bay FL with the best being between Pensacola Beach and Panama City Beach. The temps on the coast on average run lower in the summer and higher in the winter than even a little bit inland. Lots of military bases around here which also helps the economy.

    Do all years of the 6 have temp gauges? I've never noticed on my 2015.

    Thanks for the info! Will do some checking into the area. Never been that way. Always spent my vacations in Naples and Marco.
    Would be nice to see sunshine more often than it is offered here in NE Ohio.

    Never been to that part of Florida. Always spent time in Naples and on Marco Island. Will do some checking into it.
    Thanks!

    My ex friend in Kitchener sent this pic today to myself in Canada.
    Now you know why he is an EX!
    I hope he gets a sunburn!

    Florida... ugh

    You'll never have to worry about me adding to population of the sinking swamp-land southern peninsula of Georgia. With a climate of 8 months of heat and humidity, followed up by a hurricane and then some more humidity. Then once a decade it snows somewhere and the place goes to hell... But that's redundant, since its already there from the last hurricane. Too much traffic, too many old people who can't drive right. It used to be good for orange groves (and I hear not that good for that anymore). There are about three weeks in March, before mean season starts, that seem tolerable before the heat really hits. I've visited relatives at all times of the year down there. I've taken our boat to Tampa and along the ICW and sort of enjoyed that. I donated too many weeks of my salary to the Mouse with the wife and family. I don't golf. I don't sit on the beach without extreme boredom setting in. As far as motorcycling goes, the only place more boring than FL I've been was Kansas (sorry Kansas). Even the GD I-395 HOV lanes outside DC have less traffic than I-95 or I-75. I read a science fiction book recently in which some miracle (caused by climate change / global warming / ocean rising/ whatever!) reduced this swamp/gator/mosquito infested place to a pinky sized ridge of a hills few hundred yards wide and about 1/4 its current length. It can't come soon enough. Except that I would hate for them Fl swamp-dwellers to reintegrate back into the rest of the lower 48. You can keep it.
