Like Spiveyman, my roots are too deep here to think seriously about moving. I have been thinking about it for the last year or two, though. The problem with Georgia is that there are just way too many people here now. I read last week that the estimated population is just over nine million. That is up over a million since the 2000 census, and more than doubled since 1980. I still own and work the land my Daddy bought in the late 1930's and early 40's, and my family uses my wife's homeplace, purchased by her family in 1913, as a country home. I was born and raised in the county I live in now, have farmed in for 40 years, and taught school in for 21 years. There are many more people here, and it's still rural, that I do not know than those I know. I own, by myself or along with my brother, 335 acres in three parcels, 60 acres, 100 acres, and 175 acres. That is a fair amount of land for here, but not nearly as much as someone in, say, West Texas might call a spread.
I have thoughts of selling out and moving. If I moved, it would probably be to a very sparsely populated area of Texas or Oklahoma.
It isn't the heat, the humidity, or the gnats that make me think about leaving. I can put up with August as long as the AC works. I love to be able to hunt in January and February with just a long sleeved shirt or light jacket on. What makes me think about leaving are all the people and the problems they bring with them.
One hundred miles from Atlanta isn't nearly as far now as it was forty years ago when I was getting out of high school.
