defjon,
Yeah, but VT has become the "gay-state" of New England now...who wants to be around that crap? Especially someone trying to raise a Christian family?
Add to that the liberal secular-humanist "progressive" VT politicians...how much longer is it before VT ends up like anti-gun MA?
ME might be a better state presently.
Too bad about VT, however...it sure WAS a nice place before the perverts moved in.
ddcronk,
Hills, mountains and trees...try New Mexico...regardless of the politics, you can be way out in the country just about anywhere there, even living close to a major city (of which there are few in NM).
The high-rent area of northern NM, such as Santa Fe, is real nice but you need some bucks to live there. I plan to move nearby to Los Alamos...or White Rock (also high cost-of-living...except utilities are lower).
You can still get mountains and trees, however, in S.E. NM in places like Ruidoso and Cloudcroft...same higher-altitude weather, mountains and trees as the Santa Fe area has, but the cost-of-living is MUCH less!
Can't say much about a Christian neighborhoods in those parts, but you know, just about everywhere nowadays, real Christians are an endangered species no matter where you go. So much for this country being a "Christian Nation"...it hasn't been in decades at least.
Santa Fe area has various Indian pueblos and the Ruidoso area has the WHite Mountain Apache reservation.

...which is a MUST-SEE website for anyone considering relocating.
Good luck in finding a decent place...I congratulate you on the parameters you have set.

P.S. I forgot to add that the Indians in both places have assorted casinos...but that doesn't mean you have to gamble. I don't...I only go to them for their buffet!
