TurtleMode Well, you should check out my digs (NW Arkansas), we have a metro area (Bella Vista->Fayetteville), but lots of nature (waterfalls, national forests, nature and biking trails,etc). I'm a native, so I love it here...but it's much much less monotonous than Kansas tends to be 🙂
We have the highest point between Appalachians and Rockies (hills).
