Have lived in the deep south my entire life. Things went really badly during 2020 and we realized we needed to get out. Started saving and preparing, our plan was to move before the next election.

We have bought a 1920’s farmhouse that still has 9 acres. 100 year old apple trees, blueberries, vineyard. It’s amazing. Part of the land is industrial zoned with power and I’m going to build my machine shop there. We got a steal of a deal, it would be a $500k house and land here.

I bought a '98 Chevy box truck. The boy and I will be making our second trip tomorrow.

    Mobile is pretty different from the rest of the state. We’re from the northern end. Gulfport is in Mississippi, IIRC.

    It’s a beautiful state, I’m really going to miss the land. Have a jar of the red clay dirt to take with me.
