No hills in Florida? The southeast corner of my home 40 is 75 FASL, while up by the road in front of the house is 112 FASL. 37 feet over a quarter mile isn't much of a hill, but it isn't flat either.
I will save you guys the trouble of checking out NW Florida. Our skeeters are so bad, the gators have to use deet. We have desert and swamp, all within five miles of each other. Too dry to farm one, too wet the other. And if you buy a tractor newer than ten years old, your neighbors will think you are trying to be uppity.
Speaking of neighbors, I checked on Rosetta Stone.com, and they don't offer a course in redneck. So you will need to find someone to translate for you doing simple task like buying gas or groceries. Don't even try going to the farmer's co-op for dog food unless you are wearing your over-all's.
So to sum up, don't come to NW Florida. You won't like it, and it is too crowded already. In the three hours I have been sitting at my PC this morning, four cars have gone by on the road. And I didn't know one of them.
Seriously, I have lived an hour away from the Gulf my whole life. That is about as close as I would like to be. In Florida tourist effect everything, even the weather report on your local news. We have to watch a Dothan Al station to get away from tourist weather. {the weather drone will say "no chance of rain this weekend. Come on down," when you have been in a six month drought and are praying for rain} The closer to the coast you are, the more you will pay for everything.
