Not necessarily Montana, but more like Wyoming. But, if not Wyoming, will find somewhere we will like. I really don't expect folks on this forum to understand how we are around farm, ranch, rodeo young folks, but we get along with them great. Just a different breed of young folks. We love going to a Fair and seeing young folks showing their livestock. They are so proud of how the animal looks, and then, to win a 1st Place Blue Ribbon for a hog, steer, sheep or other farm/ranch animal........to us, terrific!

In NV, people DO, or they don't do. You don't sit around and watch others.... do.

BabyBoomer, the best solution to your wishes is to find 55+ housing and get involved or attend the 4H events, etc. in whatever city you choose.

It can be hard to find apartments and 55+ housing in rural areas, but you can find 4H programs in most cities.

I participated in 4H and other livestock events here in Nevada when I worked in ranching and I understand exactly what you are saying about the more wholesome aspect of it with the youth. Anyone can attend most of these events.

So look for 55+ housing and 4H where you are currently located as the best option and then work from there if you need to find a new location. Try and put the word out or look at advertisements for rooms for rent etc, on ranches or rural properties.

In Nevada, you might want to look at Dayton, Smith Valley/Yerington, Gardnerville, Fallon/Fernley or Elko/Ely for ranching communities. Some of these locations have limited housing because of the many large mines in the area hiring workers from out of state, so it can be challenging to find an apartment or affordable home.

Best wishes to you!

Well, 55+ housing aka 55+ communities aren't cheap. Actually, here, there is a waiting list, that is quite long, for an apartment in one of the communities. And, one 55+ Community that we checked out here, doesn't allow any kind of firearms in the building/apartments. There was a sign on the front door stating just that. We have two rifles and two handguns, but only target shoot. We are advocates of hunting, but don't do it. We love seeing "Mounts" inside Bass Pro or Sportsman's Warehouse.

My interest would be more into rodeo than 4-H or FFA. As I was involved in PRCA rodeo for a number of years.

Bottom Line is: We no longer want to live in Loveland. Thank God we don't have a house, or would have to sell it. And, in reality, the way the Front Range has gotten, and continues to get, we don't really even want to live here at all anymore. Getting way to "fast paced" and young for us. Remember, we are 73 & 74.

I think you would do better East of the Rockies. Perhaps Arkansas or Tennessee - or to be cliche: Florida.



Most metros in the West are seeing rapidly increasing COL and an influx of Californians. I also think - just based on what I've seen and heard - that even the older 'redneck' element in the West often has a somewhat counter-culture, edgy side to it (drug culture, 'opt-outs' etc. i.e. echoes of the wild side of the 60s) which doesn't appear to be the kind of thing you appreciate

We simply don't want to be "Southerners" at all. Lived in northeastern Florida, aka Jacksonville, for 10 1/2 years. We shouldn't have moved there in the first place. We are way to much into rodeo and observing livestock to live anywhere where there isn't either of those.

Nope, Wyoming or someplace like that.

There’s no perfect place to live and no matter where you go there you are. The problem may lay inside yourselves.

Actually, you could say that to anyone on city-data who moves. There are plenty of folks on this forum who have done just that. There are those that move, and become very happy where they move to, and then again, there are those that end up disliking where they moved to and move again.

People know what they want out of an area they move to. They may not get all that they want, but, most of the time, it's much better than where they came from. Everyone has their "likes" and "dislikes".
