My wife's really good friend was stationed at Ft. Riley, liked KS so much she decided to stay. She's been trying to convince us to move there ever since- said it was very conservative where she lives, way more laid back, and seemed like how CO used to be. She even tried to coax us by saying her BF who works for the SO there could try and get me a job. I just don't know if I could uproot and go somewhere flatter than Denver....

FT Riley area sucks ass. I love Lawrence and grew partially in Southeastern Kansas. It's humid as crap, but it's green and lots of places to shoot. Cost of living is much lower. I imagine I will retire in that area but I make too much money and my retirement is too good to be moving out there now. Farming, teaching, and medical I would say were the biggest employers when I was there. Actually we lived in the same county as a Nuclear Power Plant and tons of people worked there as well.

That's what she emphasized, KS is great, especially where she is, but the area around Ft. Riley is not a good area. IIRC she lives north of Manhattan in some small town, but I'm not 100%. We'll probably go visit this year.

I remember road tripping to Manhattan with a buddy to visit his sister at KSU, it was actually much prettier than the western part of the state, with lots of green and rolling hills. Still doubt it's nice enough to get me to move there.

That's my reservation. WY would be a great escape location for me (I'd want to live near Jackson's Hole) if it ever came down to it, but the wife doesn't want to live in a cold windy locale like WY. So KS would be the next option- but I'm still not sure I'd want to live that close to tornado alley. Cost of living in E. KS does seem appealing though- and it would have to be a large enough property to build a range, and own horses.
