Holiday Cheer from the US Census Bureau

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.
